PS5 Review: Guess the Flag!

Can you guess what this game is about?

Embark on a global journey with the game “Guess the Flag!” Test your knowledge of 255 countries, islands and international organizations in 6 addictive modes. Test your memory by matching the flag to the name of a country or play the reverse mode. If you are already an expert in flag knowledge, you can try the mode in which you have to write the name of the country yourself. Feel the thrill of matching locations to a country and, for a change, immerse yourself in the unpredictable random mode that combines all the challenges.

What can I say about Guess the Flag? It’s a game where you guess…the flag. Yeah, that’s essentially all there is to this one. You’ll play different ways of guessing the flag either by selecting a multiple choice answer or having to type it in yourself. You can choose by region or just a random selection of not only countries, but islands and international organisations like the EU and UN.

You get three lives through your run, but there’s no rush unless you pick the timed variant. So, you could look up the flags online if you wanted to cheat for trophies. Not that I condone that sort of thing…

Visuals are pretty redundant on this as it’s essentially just static menus and images of flags. I won’t argue that they are good quality images that they use for the flags, but that’s neither here or there. I guess I was expecting more variety in the modes and perhaps a bit of flair to the overall interface that looks incredibly basic.

The Verdict

Guess the Flag delivers what it promises, that’s about it. If you want to test your flag knowledge, then great…this is for you. It’s just a shame that it looks so basic as a game and there’s not much variety in terms of modes.

Score: 5.0
