The calculating, cold part of my brain loves Florence for what a masterpiece of interaction design it is. The way Florence conveys narrative almost exclusively through interaction is amazing, the subtle way that mechanics are played with and change to mark changes in the story borders on genius. Any game should look to Florence as a master class in how controls are a key vector for meaning in an interactive medium.

But boy, my bleeding heart just loves this game even more. The story it tells is cute, heart-wrenching, joyous, sorrowful, just amazing. Florence almost made me cry. I love this game, no doubt. I'm very happy I played this.
