It could be argued that by continuing in the same direction as Cloud and FlOw, thatgamecompany was fighting a losing battle with gaming audiences. While Flower is not the game for everyone I think it makes clear that this progression is no foray into time-killers, but commitment to a gaming philosophy. No, thatgamecompany has not been fumbling in the dark, they have an idea (ideal even) about what a game can be like and have been perfecting it, honing it, into the masterpiece that is Flower.
