Urban Flow
SCORE: 84
I am thankful we were given a digital download code for Urban Flow on
the Xbox One. I played Urban Flow on the Xbox Series X. Urban Flow can
also be found on the Nintendo Switch. Urban Flow is very simple in
concept. We control the traffic lights in 150 levels in Urban Flow. We
must avoid cars smashing into one another. This might sound really
simple but some of the intersections in Urban Flow are extremely
devious. There are also things like ambulances that cannot wait long.
If we make traffic in one area wait too long in Urban Flow they will
just go. It is like the drivers decide the light is broken and they go
right into traffic. Other areas require perfect timing in the merging.
We do earn power ups as play Urban Flow. We can slow traffic, use hearts
to fix accidents, and more in Urban Flow. We can play Urban Flow in
Endless, Chill, Party, and more. Families can have some fun keeping
traffic flowing and safe in Urban Flow.
Urban Flow looks okay and has some blocky looking vehicles. The crashes
have both vehicles vanish very quickly. That way traffic can continue
on. Some vehicles will slow down and wait to avoid an accident whereas
others will smash into one another. Trains and trams are the worst in
Urban Flow. There are instances where I cannot tell if a vehicle will go
straight or take a turn since they can do either from a light. This can
be frustrating when I am trying to get to that three star rating.
The music in Urban Flow is jamming. I really got into the music when I
performed a video recording of Urban Flow. If you fail a level you can
just retry. I did notice the vehicles could behave differently when I
played it the next time. There are patterns that are discoverable in
many of the levels in Urban Flow. I like how Urban Flow kept throwing in
new monkey wrenches. Like one button controls multiple lights. At times
things got really crazy in Urban Flow.
I had fun playing Urban Flow on the Xbox. I felt bad it took me so long
to get to this game. Sadly that is our current reality. I have a day job
that pays for all of the work Family Friendly Gaming does. We constantly
help a plethora of companies make all kinds of money. Sadly that does
not equate to any kick backs, bonus, sponsorships, or advertisement to
us in 99.5% of the cases. I wish the industry had more heart, caring,
and compassion for those of us that work hard to help them make these
massive profits. I hope there is a physical copy of Urban Flow at some
point in the future.
