Multiplayer sessions with a group of friends will, no doubt, frequently offer opportunities to pull off your very own Leeroy Jenkins disaster-move, but a singleplayer experience that genuinely amuse are something of a rarity.
Smith Smith and Geoff Gunning of Proper Games want their newest title, Flock, to be part of that select group of intentionally funny games. Flock – officially titled with an exclamation point – is a sandbox puzzle game that tasks the UFO-bound player with herding various farmyard animals to a mothership."
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
