There are very few times in this gaming generation that a game has brought about feelings that gave me hope about the human spirit and credence towards the idea of "games as art". Journey from thatgamecompany is that game.
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."
BY JOHN: As winter approaches, I find myself searching out "cozy" games that I can play when I need a break from the high-octane action and intense competition found in most modern games. If you're feeling a little jaded by mini-maps covered in icons and a list of quests and side-quests a mile long, I have the perfect game for you. A serene masterpiece for those looking for a port in the storm.
That game is Journey.
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.
Aside from "I'm kickin' some ass!" or "I'm honestly enjoying myself." Things I actually rarely felt while playing most games this gen. Most times I have to "invest time" to get to good scenes or make myself like something that's really trying.
I mean I liked playing Journey, but its still a time investment.
video games: ok, we'll stop....LOL NO we are gonna make you feel things in so many ways!
anyways, i should really get Journey when i have some money. by the sound of the article, he really loves the game :D
