Reviews for "BLOOM"

I really liked this. Atmospheric, eerie, a little hard, but still fun. It was on my second playthrough that I noticed the "flowers" seemed to be growing out of corpses, and that got me really intrigued. The mention of Quarantine systems also got me curious. Were the flowers part of some disease? Were we escaping a plague zone?

So I was disappointed that there was such a small focus on storytelling. The first "They Left Us To Die" billboard graffiti had me hoping there'd be more story pieces in the background, but it never happened. I agree that some kind of upgrade system for the ship would have been nice, but it isn't completely necessary. I just would have liked to have more info on where we were, what happened to the city, why was it quarantined, and why they nuked it in the end. Context could have taken this from 4 to 5. Still really, really nice.

It goes from way too easy to way too hard. The third level is impossible to do on the first try. I was ether lucky enough to pick the tunnel that wasn't a dead end, or I had to die and remember the correct way. The red and green lights are flashing? REALLY? If they were constant that would help a little.

It is a decent game but there wasn't much of a pace to it early on. Either upgrades to your ship or perhaps a back-story on the billboards would help the game.

I cant understand gaming critics if they DONT complete the game. The moment you get bored with anything, sure, that could be a problem, but how the F#@* can you give a game a score if you do not actually complete the game it self. The guns, man, those guns, Ive tried to keep my hands off the keyboard, but that eventually came virtually impossible. You need patience for this game and if you are not one for that, I suggest not playing this. However, those with a beautiful appeal to scenes, music, and gaining challenge. This is a game for you.

When you can take your hands off the keyboard for 10 seconds at a time during a dodge game, there is a problem. It was extremely slow, and easy to gain lives, I got bored second level. You literally have to force yourself to crash.
