Journey

When I started to play this game I was not expecting anything. I was playing it because its short and it has great visuals. But I still thought it had potential. At the beggining, I just played it and I guess I just enjoyed discovering and exploring the games mechanics. But after about 30 minutes, I started feeling a bit bored and I was starting to think this game was extremely overrated. But I have to say that when it ended, I totally understood why people were talking good things about it. The gameplay is the most boring I've ever encountered in my video game playing journey. The story is absent of even the most insignificant plot. Then why is this game good? Its because of the raw portayal of emotions. I think this is a very rare thing to see but the raw emotions overthrown the absence of any plot, words or gameplay. I think its an achievement in himself to make a video game with all those negative points but still make it good. I think this is the type of thing that is an experience rather than being the usual video game with a story. Considering the lenght of this game, I'd say its infinitly worth playing. If you can spare an hour and you don't know what to do, well this is definitly a good idea. Its hard for me to describe this game for what it is, the title does it better than I do. I guess its just a Journey...

Journey Is an art experience. Where your journey offentlig collides with strangers.

Journey came out in a time where video games were Call of Duty Clones or GTA clones, But then out of nowhere this game appeared and it was feel like fresh air.

Simple beautiful art style, story told without a word,and a seamless co-op experience, that lets you get some company in this journey to the top of the Mountain.

Because of the short length every level has something different going on from the previous, and it feels like it Keeps elevates higher and higher into the sky.

It's such a nice and relaxing experience, it don't take too long, but it's still stays with you nonetheless.

Nowadays we have a lot more game that feels like this, It doesn't stand out as much. But for me, it's still that little game from 2012 that felt so refreshing in a sea of Call of Duty games. Would recommend.

Journey is one of the most unusual games I've ever played, and I live for small little indie titles imbued with passion like this. I've played a lot of "walking simulators," and this is perhaps the second best I've ever seen (second to What Remains of Edith Finch), and I'm not sure how to review it, because all at once I'm so moved by it, but also convinced it's entirely over my head. The part of me that wants to make sense of it goes crazy, but the part of me that just wants to feel something is head-over-heels, because Journey made me feel a lot of things, and I'm not entirely sure how to describe those feelings, but I felt things none-the-less. It's a game that operates on pure emotion, playing it makes you feel like you're experiencing something profound, and that's all I can really say because I don't know what else there is. I'll play it again sometime and see if the "logic" part of my brain comes to any conclusions.

JOURNEY (2012) was a game that was somehow simple and yet full of emotion, beauty and secrets. Journey is a work of art, with it's meaningful visual aesthetics, gorgeous landscapes and mysterious purposes. It is a game unlike any other. You play a robbed figure in a desolate land that journeys towards a glowing mountain in the far away distance.

There is something so profound about such a simple premise. This game truly is a wonder. Beautiful minimalist styled graphics, rich eye-catching scenery, intriguing gameplay and premise. The music is simply a masterpiece. There is something so chill and relaxing about the ambience, and yet so emotionally poignant. The gameplay is very enjoyable and satisfying, you can really spend more time than you should ever spend floating around the golden sandy desert realms. The light and responsive environment is captivating, to say the least.

Overall, this game is highly recommended, especially to those looking for a beautiful, emotional, and enlightening experience, one that is as calming as it is gratifying.
