Journey

Journey came out some time ago, to great acclaim, but it was Playstation 3 exclusive, and I had an X-Box.  It's now been released for Playstation 4, and I have one of those, so I've finally had a chance to try it.


And, yes, it is just as wonderful as all the reviews claim.

You start as a cloaked figure in a desert.  On the horizon you can see a mountain with a light.  And so, with bare instruction and no understanding, you start toward it.

Journey is a combination of music and visual beauty and a story stripped of any language that you understand.  It is very short, but I think is the sort of precious jewel of a game that you keep by for the grey days, when you want to be uplifted.

Well recommended.

Estara Have you ever played those Flow and Flowers games? Those look awesome, too. Seem to have no story, though.

Andrea I've played Flower, which is similar in certain aspects. Journey is better though.

Estara Good to know, just in case I can get it on a platform I own ^^

Andrea I really wish companies wouldn't do these exclusives. I wasn't going to buy a PS3 just to play it, and had to wait very impatiently for the PS4 release.
