Gamers aren't necessarily looking for a drawn-out, story-driven experience, but rather something that's fun and instantly playable, while providing enough depth to keep gamers coming back. Flock! looks like a game designed in this spirit. Shown off by Capcom at E3, the game casts you as an alien tasked you with herding flocks of animals into your mothership. You'll have to use your flying saucer to spook and herd animals through various obstacle courses in a game that feels a cross between Lemmings and Destroy All Humans! We were recently lucky enough to go hands-on with the game at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival."
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "It's fitting that Flock wants to treat players like its plethora of creatures: softly wooing you to stay as long as you wish. Sure, it still utilizes basic design principles: the wonder of what's hiding beneath the clouds, frilly cosmetics to alter your style, and an engaging collect-a-thon system wedded to the main objective; however, you never feel confined by them. That description may seem too abstract and imperceptible in writing, but that warmth within its design is immediately felt with a controller in hand. Sometimes that relaxed vibe could've been more substantive in its quest structure, but leaning too far would've diminished its unique identity. For whatever creative or technical missteps, virtually anyone who Flock Tuahs Richard Hogg & Hollow Ponds' latest is sure to enjoy it."
Flock is the latest game from Hollow Ponds and Richard Hogg. Nurture and guide your own flock of adorable flying creatures.
Review - Consider Flock like the finest of fine wines: enjoyed best with a group of friends having a chat, taken at your own pace, not rushed
