| Kyros said: an amusement or pastime Exactly I don't see anything amusing in there. You fly around collecting orbs. Great. Besides I have found the following IMO much better definition for "game" A contest, physical or mental, according to certain rules, for amusement, recreation, or for winning a stake This is no contest and no game. I don't know how to call it. Electronic zen? But I hate the whole Blue Ocean thing. If they would put their resources into making the next God of War (not this specific game but the next franchise of such quality) they would be better off. Africa, Flower, Flow uargs. |
Pacman anyone? DL games (and classic games) are typically simple and straight forward.
Look at tetris, superstardust HD, pixeljunk eden, etc.
They all focus on one objective in mind, whether it's to kill everything, reach a point or stack blocks. Collecting orbs is no exception, it doesn't mean that it's not a game. You'd have an argument with linger in the shadow though.
