This is a beautiful game. The OST and visuals are amazing, and the movement is pretty fun as well. I remember playing a couple of times with one person through the whole game. Once was one of my first few runs, and the last was a white robe who showed me where all the collectibles are.

I’ve never played this game, but it’s soundtrack helped me prepare for so many exams in uni that I can’t even remember. I will have to try it once!

I played journey for the first time when it was posted to PC and consequentially went on sale on Steam. Very good game. I tried to connect with the guy who I played the majority of it with but he didn’t speak English and I don’t speak much Spanish so it kinda fizzled.

I love Sky and most people there genuinely are so nice. And now on Steam I can finally play it with a decent framerate (the Switch was a big step up from my phone already but that still struggled sometimes)

Not the most flattering examples they pulled up of games he’s worked on.

One was a failed overhaul and the other got criticized for not having anything to do when it came out.

Journey is one of the most sublime works of art in the video games medium. I have it tattooed on half my fucking arm.

I got similar feelings of awe from Citizen Sleeper. They’re vastly different games, but they both blew me away for what the “games as an art form” could be.

Happy birthday! I actually just started playing Journey for the first time yesterday, less than an hour I’d say (on Steam). The visuals and fluidity of controls are nice, nothing spectacular by today’s standards but I’m sure they were great back in the PS3 era. The beginning felt a little slow trudging through the sand until I understood how the scarf upgrades work. But then when I encountered another player it really started to click and go more smoothly. I like how the game encourages cooperation by pinging and refilling each other’s scarf energy, though I feel like progress might go slow again if I get stuck going solo next session. The puzzles are very simple but I was feeling sick so having a ‘cozy’ game was actually pretty nice.

Journey is a spiritual journey for me. I try to play it once every couple of years to remind me of the impermanence of life and existence.

Fuck the robot snakes, I want a long scarf.

Quexotic,

The white outfit is nice. I’ve played this game for maybe 80h. It truly was a spiritual journey for me too. It made me cry more than once.

It will always hold a special place in my heart.

“No Steve, stop trying to always get me to play your stupid video games!”

That’s how that would have worked out for me.

You deserve better, Steve.

I haven’t played it yet, but it was on my wishlist for a while, so when I saw it on sale a few days ago, I snapped it up and immediately installed it. I’m really excited to play it as soon as I have some free hours.

EddoWagt,

It’s not too long, but it’s a great experience, absolutely worth the time

frog,

Yeah, I’m really looking forward to it. I loved Abzu, and Journey went on my wishlist because so many people had said how similar they were. I’d have probably played it already if I wasn’t ill - I can barely hear anything right now, and that’s not the best time to play a game where the music is a big part of the experience!

EddoWagt,

Yeah Abzu was great as well, but something about Journey just resonates with you. I can’t explicitly remember the music, but it would probably be better if you just waited a bit longer until you can hear again!

Link?

GammaGames,

Oops! I thought the post UI was letting me add an image and a link, not replacing it. Fixed!

Daxtron2, do gaming w Let's discuss: Journey

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.

it is simultaneously overrated yet exactly deserving of all the praise it gets

the way it encourages cooperation with a stranger is staggeringly rare in games and i wish there were more things like it

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.
