Florence did a really great job with experimenting with different ways to turn emotional experiences to gameplay with flying colors. It's strange how satisfying a lot of the little minigames were, and how much they felt really meaningful, things like decorating your house, and the conversation puzzle pieces. It was really impressive to me. The music also worked really well in conjunction with the art, and I definitely felt what they were going for. I think this could be iterated on really well in the future and told in a better fleshed out story.

The story of Florence is solid, but I feel as though it could be better. I feel like the whole thing ends quite unceremoniously, with the two breaking up after arguing only a little bit and not really working together to patch things up. It's really unfortunate, but I also think the brevity of the game worked to its advantage.

It's quite impressive and left a reasonable impact on me but I think it had potential to be more. It lacked a true gut punch emotional resonance that I look for from a game like this.
