It's beautiful.
I dont think there can ever be a game like Journey, as the story is almost personally written by you.
Its a game that leaves you as much room to interpretation as it can, so your connections with other players through its amazingly used multiplayer functions makes every moment more impactful.

game foda!!! Uma experiência de vdd!! Mesmo sem um dialogo você consegue ficar arrepiado jogando é curtinho então vale a pena jogar dmssss

os 6 reais mais bem gastos da minha vida

Dans ta face Inox j'ai escaladé l'Everest

Jeu très contemplatif, j'ai bien aimé car on vole et glisse à 2 (joueur online random), du coup c'est gratifiant de faire le voyage en bonne compagnie et ça rend le truc pas ennuyant, j'ai passé 2 belles heures


Didn't feel that relaxed as people say you do when playing it

Definitivamente, Journey son los amigos que hicimos por el camino...
Sabia que clase de juego era este, pero el final me agarro por sorpresa.
PD: Te quiero mucho persona desconocida que siempre fue al paso del mas lento y nunca me dejo atrás en este viaje 💕

I’m not sure if Journey can really be seen as a game. It has its qualities. The art style is good, the music is fine, it has some cool collectibles/achievements and it has some special moments. But it’s also slow, cutscenes can’t be skipped unless you select a chapter, story is incredibly vague, movements are sluggish, you can’t pick a co-op partner and there isn’t enough gameplay to keep things interesting. I enjoyed the surfing and stealth sections for being more involved but they’re rare compared to the rest. With movements, they made jumps cost stamina without charging automatically. You have to interact with charge papers that are not always nearby to be able to jump/float again. Your co-op partner can also help you charge when you’re close to them. It makes platforming a chore until you unlock the white robe by collecting all symbols. This mechanic should have been the default way to play the game. As for co-op, I expected to play the game with my best friend. I made him buy a copy and we tried to find each other for at least an hour with no luck. Maybe this goes against the point of the game but it would have made the game 10 times better instead of being forced to play with randoms and not being able to do anything about it. You can’t even play the game alone unless you’re offline.

At the end of the day, paying around €2 during sale is not a lot. I got to experience it and I don’t have to be curious about it anymore. But I would have also been fine not playing it. I kept asking myself what I got out of it after spending 6.4 hours to 100% the game (aside from waiting for a week for one achievement). Not much really. Get it if you’re curious about the game too but don’t expect some real gameplay. It’s more about the feels and going through the motions. A game to play when you don’t have the energy to do anything else. Rime did it better imo.

I played this game at 2 in the morning while my brother was throwing a inconsiderate party in the adjacent room. It was a religious experience, I felt connected, I felt little, and I felt important. I felt taken care of, and I felt kind.

This review contains spoilers

So I'm not sure if this counts as a spoiler, but I had absolutely no idea that this game was multiplayer.

At first, I didn't quite like that. I wondered why this lonely, atmospheric experience was hampered by being forced to play with other random weirdos online. I thought that the game would be much better if it was solo experience, reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus - where you can fully immerse yourself in the world and be completely isolated from everyone else. To me, it didn't make any sense why they added this feature.

And then, I had one of the most emotional experiences I've ever had playing a game.

For the last two stages, I was joined by another player who was struggling a bit with the platforming sections. I could have abandoned them and raced ahead, but then I would be an asshole, so I stuck with them as we moved up the level. I found myself really enjoying helping and exploring this area with them, and they ended up helping me as well.
We moved on to the final stage together, which we both struggled with (we got eaten a few times those flying things). Then right before the final stretch, at the part were the wind blows you back - I got knocked off, and we lost connection.

It was like my good companion for the last hour had died. I was distraught. I continued on in their memory, limping up that snowy hill in despair.

That ending. I don't think it would've nearly impacted me as much if I hadn't interacted with that stranger. During the credit sequence, I saw another character on the bridge and I thought, "that's them", even though it couldn't possibly be. I wonder if they felt the same way I did, or if they just thought I was an idiot.

I could talk about the art design, the music, the atmosphere - but I feel like everyone knows how incredible they are already. I just wanted to share this beautiful and tragic encounter I had.

(I got a Backloggd account for fun and to make funky 1 line reviews - I wasn't planning on writing this much) - The game is pretty good, I guess.

Journey narra uma história linda , sem sequer usar palavras ou cenas épicas . Cada segundo nesse mundo vasto , cheio de duvidas , que até mesmo após o fim muitas ficam sem respostas , cenários vazios mais mesmo assim não deixam de ser incríveis e belos.
Além do fato de achar outros viajantes na jornada ser muito foda , conheci um mano no inicio do jogo e fiquei até o fim com ele , !SPOILER!- no final sentamos lado lado foi muito bonitinho tirei muitas prints😀

I never had a Sony console so Journey was always something I heard about but never played. It's nice to finally tick it off. What a gorgeous little game, I can see why it is so beloved. The gameplay is intuitive and simple, the journey itself is breathtaking. Music is stunning as to be expected of Austin Wintory. The interactions with enemies are genuinely tense. The couple of times I bumped into another player were great little surprises - I completely forgot that it was a feature of the game, so the first time I was taken entirely by surprise. It was a great little moment of storytelling. Really enjoyed my couple of hours with Journey.

Foi uma experiência... Diferente, para dizer o mínimo. Sempre vi o povo falando desse jogo, e tipo, só peguei pq estava por 6 reais na promoção. É um jogo bem único e diferente, e tem sua carga de tensão no meio. É um jogo mais para sentir do que entender de fato. Obrigado pessoa misteriosa que zerou comigo.

Jornada incrível, muito lindo os mapas e as musicas são perfeitas, passam uma sensação de tranquilidade muito grande.

Met a guy on my way through the desert. He showed me where to find the glowy runes that I kept missing, and I showed him some better jump routes that I found because he had a shorter scarf than me. We used the sing button a lot, we both hit it a lot when surprising stuff happened or we wanted to get each others' attention. It was honestly a little bit magical.

On the credits screen, it revealed that his username was "shartman1987" and I can't decide if that made it more or less magic.
