Still one of my favorite gaming experiences. I recommend everyone to play it at least once through, it’s not terribly long but it is an extremely worthwhile experience.
I won't add anything new here, but just chiming in that it's also my favorite game of all time. I got to play it when it was contemporary (ps3 I think?) and a couple of years ago rebought and replayed it on Steam. I lobe everything from the artwork and symphonic score, to the play style and plot as it were, to even the communal nature of the game and the fact you can only chirp as communication. Like others, it had a very profound impact on me when playing. It's definitely one of those I wish I could play for the first time all over again.
Playing Journey was one of the most moving and profound experiences I've ever had in gaming. I was lucky enough to play the entirety of the game in one sitting and with one partner. I knew going in that this was a co-op game. What I didn't realize was the effect it would have on me. Truly the closest to a spiritual experience I've had in a gaming setting. I sobbed as we walked into the light at the end.
I think I would have enjoyed this more, if I had played it earlier. But when I finally got around to playing it in 2021, the Multiplayer was dead and I had already seen too many pretty games for Journey to stand out.
I can see how someone would fall in love with at the right time though.
This game literally gave me a mind altering experience. The point at the end as you walk towards the light, I started to be unsure if I was controlling the character anymore or not, and it was actually quite dissociating like a psychedelic experience (I was sober at the time for the record). Truly incredible moment that no other game has pulled off.
As I said in the post, this is my favorite game ever. I played it when I was a teenager and it completely blew me away. The start was interesting, but quickly I noticed it becoming more and more beautiful and moving. The moment when your sliding down and the camera turns sideways with the sun making the sand look gold is honestly one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in my life. I played in 3 sittings, really savoring every moment. When you’re walking slowly in the ice cold ending stretch I became really emotional and the feeling of catharsis when you start the actual final part was insane. I was silently crying the whole time during that section.
Love the multiplayer aspect also. And the music is insane. I saw it performed live in my city last year and was able to speak to Austin Wintory and get his autograph.
I figured it’s more like evil that resides somewhere. Like “there is a resident evil in this house”, a presence. Then again I’m not native English so what do I know :)
Edit: nevermind, I misread your comment. Yeah I don’t reckon they are necessarily evil.
I’ve played a bit of the original Resident Evil emulated on ps5. I really like the camp and the atmosphere, but it required a bit to much focus from me to proceed further in the game. I felt it became a bit difficult to know where to go and memorize the locations and puzzles.
I’ve bought Resident Evil HD on steam, so I’ll try it again soon in the remaster.
My co-op buddy and I also just started RE5. I know it was made in another time, but it’s quite hilarious how problematic a lot of it is. So we’re just laughing at all the obvious stereotypes and enjoying the gameplay. We first tried on hard but it became to frustrating very quickly, so we started again on normal difficulty.
Oh yeah I played a ton of re5 coop back in the day. Eventually you can unlock the “professional” difficulty and it’s wild. Basically 1 shot deaths and the revive meter goes down in less than a second. You have to be right next to your partner at all times if you want to be able to revive them before it’s game over…
