Journey wasn’t made or conceptualized by Pablo Picasso or directed by Jean-Luc Godard, neither has it won any noble piece prizes. It wasn’t written by F. Scott Fitzgerald nor was it featured in the Smithsonian, but this game made me feel as much emotion and as much awe and wonderment, if not more, than all of these great literary masters and artists.
Shaz from GL: "The way Journey evokes emotions through its narrative without using traditional storytelling methods is something no game has been able to replicate."
The composer behind Journey, Austin Wintory, recently had a chance to revisit the classic game, just in time for its tenth anniversary.
My fav indie game ever, played this on ps4 and ps5. Too bad it does not have a plat trophy.
Jenova Chen told us about the development of the game.
I just bought, played, and beat this game in a total of about 3 hours. But it was absolutely worth the experience. It has such a beautiful change of scenery and pace. And the music. Wow. To anyone on the fence about this game, i urge you to play it. It was excellent.
