Flockers
Overly familiar and lacking variation, Flockers still manages to embrace that one-more-go mentality with its semi-addictive blend of strategy and sheep culling.

Gameplay is characterized by a frustrating trial-and-error approach, requiring players to restart levels after significant mistakes, which detracts from the overall experience. While some mechanics are engaging and evoke emotional investment, the controls are often described as sloppy and reminiscent of early access titles, leading to a lack of satisfaction. Additionally, performance issues on modern systems further hinder the gameplay experience.
“The mechanics are fun and you really care if the sheep live or die.”
“There certainly is no similarity between worms and flockers gameplay.”
“The constant trial and error gameplay is grueling since you will need to start the entire level over if you mess up badly enough.”
“The game runs poorly on a modern rig and the overall gameplay is just not satisfying enough to carry it forward.”
“The controls are sloppy and don't work, the game mechanics are garbage; I had more fun playing the original Lemmings.”

Flockers is not a bad game. It's cute and grotesque and the dark humour and settings go well together. The game is entertaining at first, and will cause some terrified giggles and as a game to kill time with, it's almost even great. However, little bits and pieces just add up and the whole package fails to live up to that classic Lemmings sensation. It all feels as if it's already been done and in no way new. If you're into puzzle games though, or if you're missing the good ol' days of Lemmings, you might like it as a substitute as it does cater to fans of both.

Flockers is a fun Lemmings throwback that provides a decent challenge. While the trial and error heavy gameplay will certainly put some off, those willing to engage their brains and reflexes will have a good time herding their flock through some downright dastardly levels – even if the experience is marred with occasional control niggles. Yes, the package is a little bit bare bones, and the gameplay never really mixes things up too much – but at this price, it isn’t something that you can really bleat about.
