Video Game Review: Florence

Release Year: 2018
Reading Year: WI2023
Developer/Publisher: Mountains/Anapurna
Time to Beat: 1 Hours

Thoughts: My god, this music. I would just stop at scenes to listen to it for a few minutes longer. I am leaving the game on in the background as I write to retain that feeling before I go to sleep. The story is predictable and bland, but it’s useful. It’s useful because it is so common and why not package it into something so effortlessly beautiful and hopeful. With small interactions that feel clever and keep you present, Florence is an hour well spent.

Simple, short, and elegant. Honestly, the music is worth playing this for an hour!
