About

Flower (2009) is a meditative adventure experience from the creators of Journey and flOw that puts you in control of the wind itself. Rather than traditional gameplay mechanics, you guide streams of colorful flower petals through dreamlike landscapes, watching each level transform as nature blooms around you. The game blends casual exploration with artistic design, offering a unique alternative to competitive or story-driven titles.

Running Flower requires minimal hardware by modern standards, making it highly accessible for budget builds. An entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 1759 handles the game smoothly, while a CPU score of approximately 2083 ensures stable performance. With just 4 GB of RAM required, you can expect consistent high FPS even on older systems, and the game scales well across various graphics settings without demanding cutting-edge components.

If you appreciate artistic, experimental games over traditional gameplay loops, Flower is worth experiencing despite its modest 75/100 rating. Its relaxing aesthetic and innovative control scheme offer something refreshingly different from mainstream titles, though it's best suited for players seeking atmosphere over challenge.

Performance profile

February 2009 release. Flower targets mid-2000s-to-early-2010s hardware — any modern entry-level GPU (GTX 1650 tier or newer integrated graphics) handles it at 1080p Ultra without breaking a sweat.

Flower is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

Extremely light — Flower runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

The goals and journey in each level vary, but all involve flight, exploration and interaction with the worlds presented to you. Using simple SIXAXIS wireless controls and by pressing any button, the player controls the lead petal and accumulates a swarm of flower petals as he moves at his own pace within the environment, causing the on-screen world to change. Flower's gameplay offers different experiences, pacing and rhythm to all players. Along the way, the environment will pose challenges to the player's progress.
