This month brings you a fantastic review from sulzisim and the vast array of games available on the market today
Ahh. It’s January. A new year, a new you. Well, that’s what most people say. If you need some more relaxing to do after your holiday, then I have just the game for you. FlowScape is a relaxing game. The music the game gives you while playing is very relaxing and you feel like you are in a trance. Basically, it is a feel-good game.

According to Steam and the description of the game, it says: “In FlowScape you can create your own nature scene simply by painting. Choose from 20 landscapes and more than 300 models to create your own little paradise by painting trees, changing the sky, rotating the sun, adding sound effects and adjusting your camera for that perfect photo.”
When you load a game, you will be greeted by a block of soil. The game will generate a scene for you that you can keep and modify yourself, or you can generate a new scene. This was the starting scene the game generated for me (see image 1)
The controls of this game are quite something to get used to in comparison with the controls of the sims.
The top menu has all the controls needed for adjusting the zoom and making objects bigger and smaller.
The menu on the right-hand side of the screen allows you to add more objects to the scene.
You can change the background of the scene to almost be anywhere in the world. Even Cape Town, South Africa. I decided to go with this nice lake background (see image 2).
You can add pre-made buildings to your scene. There are a few styles and houses to choose from. From Castles to brick houses and even Japanese-style houses. Even animals can be added (see images 3and 4).
FlowScape is available on Steam for a very reasonable price. It is developed by Pixel Forest Games. The reviews on the game are very positive.
I enjoy the game when I play it. It feels like you are in your own little world. There are no set rules on how to play the game. Just have fun.
Here is the final picture I took.
