pretty much everyone who already played this game summed up my thoughts and articulated them better but still i'll try to give my two cents too.
playing this game while having a fever is honestly such a wild experience and it doesn't help that the game itself is pretty surreal and unhinged. not to sound like a suda51 dickrider (i am) but his games are really something special and something crafted with a lot of love and care. i've been debating a long time whether or not to play it because of the fsr remake rumors and i was kinda avoiding playing it because of the tedious gameplay (hence a half star less) otherwise the narrative is something so unique and well written that it doesn't deserve less than five stars.
flower, sun and rain is a bright, summery experience, where we follow sumio mondo in his searcher adventures. i like how the game didn't shy away from giving every character a personality and story to tell, one of my favourite parts were exactly those where sumio's kindness and sometimes naivety were highlighted. maybe the tedious gameplay is giving an impact to the whole narrative. i saw many opinions and comments how this is the true the silver case sequel and i can somewhat agree, it does fill a decent number of plot holes that were left after finishing the silver case and seeing some of the tsc characters brought a smile to my face. :)
the music paired with various suda's interests scattered around the dialogue and guidebook is something so special and endearing to me and i love how suda pushes his interests in the game he makes unapologetically and i totally respect him for that.
all in all, not to ramble, even though i understand divided opinions about this game i recommend at least watching a let's play compilation because it really is a shame to miss out such a great narrative, especially if you already played any suda51 game👍
