I...am not really a gamer.
I am, however, a person who has a laptop with no processing power, an Android smartphone, and a maybe unhealthy obsession with video game culture. I can't even play anything anyone is talking about! But I find it all just, well, fascinating.
But one of the top games of the year (according to Polygon) is a mobile game, and I played it, and I have some thoughts, because wow. Florence is something.
Florence is a quick (~40 minutes long) game that is supposed to be played on a smartphone. It feels a little like a cross between an interactive novel and a game. Here's the launch trailer if you're curious.
( Video and review after the cut... )
TL;DR: Buy Florence. It's some of the best $2.99 I've spent.
