Florence

[h2]Short, Sweet, and Beautiful[/h2] [h3]Rating: 8/10[/h3] Florence is less of a traditional game and more of a playable graphic novel. It is a masterclass in using simple, intuitive mechanics to convey complex emotional beats through point-and-click. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3772858127 [h3]The Good[/h3] The Gameplay is great. The Art style is vibrant and expressive, and the music is arguably the best part of the experience; it swells and fades in perfect harmony with Florence’s internal state. The story is an emotional rollercoaster. [h3]But but but...[/h3] The game is very short, which is a strength, but it also leads to a specific narrative expectation. I went in hoping for a more significant "comeback" or a deeper exploration of Florence's personal evolution in the second half of the story. While the ending is grounded and mature, it feels like it wraps up just as it’s gaining momentum. You might find yourself wishing for a few more chapters in the end. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3772859277 [h3]Time?[/h3] 48 minutes for the Story and 66 minutes to 100%. There are some missable achievements, and you can use a guide and the chapter select feature to get them quickly. No achievements are out of place. [h3]Final Verdict[/h3] Stunningly emotive and mechanically clever, Florence is a great experience, and the emotional payoff is absolutely worth your time.

This is more than just a game, it's a work of art. Whenever I replay Florence, it makes me think of a great quote by Michael McMillan. "You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one"

Such a lovely game that breaks you in-between but heals it, putting a smile on your face. Music tracks used in the game are so soul-fulfilling. The Gameplay mechanisms are quite simple and relaxing too. WIshlisted the game falling in love with the artwork style, and eventually it was on 75% offer, so why not, and it was one of my best choice! 10/10
