    Very good game.

    The good - really good game. It's one of those things that you have to experience for yourself, words don't even do it justice. Think of it as a really good art film - which means no overt violence or sexualized characters. Great for gamers with kids in the household too. The bad - the game is very short - 3 hours-ish short. Even when you shoot for all the trophies    Very good game.

    Let me start off by saying this game is my game of the year for 2012. But it's not for everyone.

    Journey is a unique, beautiful and wondrous tale through its amazing and peaceful score. You play as robed being in the middle of the desert and your objective is clear. Reach the top of a mountain in the very distant background. There is absolutely no voice acting or violence in the game.    Let me start off by saying this game is my game of the year for 2012.

    As you slide down the gorgeous sand dunes listening to the amazing score, others players will simultaneously join you on your adventure. The only way you can communicate with the other player is pressing circle which makes a very unique and peasant sound.

    The only negative thing I can say about this game is that it's only an hour and half, two hours max.

    Journey is a unique, beautiful and innovative. This game shows that video games don't need violence or voice acting to be a fantastic game. This game is one of the best I've ever played.    … Expand

    Right up there with Flower, this is one of my favorite PS3 games out there. There are no words but the story is told through fantastic visuals and wonderful music that pulls at the heartstrings.

There are no words but the story is told through fantastic visuals and wonderful music that pulls at the heartstrings. You go through your character's life passage and (should you play online) their intersections with others as you grow and learn and change.

    You wake up in the beginning alone and surrounded by miles of burning, sprawling desert, and soon discover the looming mountain top which is your goal. Ahead of you there are endless sand dunes, ancient ruins, caves and howling winds, and eventually the stinging cold and snow. Your passage will not be an easy one. And although the goal is to get to the mountaintop, you have almost infinite room to explore and wander the endless beauty of the desert either alone or with a stranger you meet along the way as you soar above ruins and glide across sands while discovering the secrets of a forgotten civilization through murals and sit downs with statues that show you their story and how you fit in....your purpose, who you are.

    Each player may take something different from the game but I felt it told the story of life and it has wonderful replay value as not only can you get different trophies you'll continuously find new things and eventually get the white robe to don yourself. This also makes good use of the 6-axis control on the PS3 remote and continues to be a breathtaking experience each time I play. GREAT game...    … Expand

    This game is by far one of the most unique and beautiful gaming experiences I have ever had. The controls flow seamlessly, the story is wonderful, and the visual eclectic appeal of the game is absolutely mind-blowing. It is hands down one of the most gorgeous and important games ever made and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

    Sin estar más en desacuerdo por esta absurda disputa, Journey no solo es un magnífico juego. Se trata ademas de una experiencia notable. Tiene el impacto visual y sonoro que necesita, las mecánicas, el feeling, el ritmo y la duración adecuada. Hay pocas cosas que sobren o que falten.

    Personalmente, el guión no me ha impactado tanto como lo ha hecho con otras personas. Y aunque no lo haya hecho, si que me parece un notable claro en este apartado. Es tanta la personalidad que tiene Journey, es tanta su calidad como producto, tan mimado en sus detalles y tan bonito, que es una experiencia para recordar con creces. Y uno de los mejores juegos de PS3.    … Expand

    "Journey" was full of surprises for me. Somehow I thought the whole game would take place in the desert, and because I don't like deserts, I was somewhat hesitant at first. But I was proven wrong by "thatgamecompany" in terms of limited environment and climate.

    It has beautiful graphics. Especially the lighting is outstanding. The environment responds to your movements and actions, and the interaction with the NPC is really fluid. The soundtracks are fitting, though some felt rather dull. The partner based multiplayer is well implemented, and it feels really great to go through the whole journey with the same partner. At times you teach each other, show hidden paths to symbols and glyphs.

    What really makes "Journey" such a jaw-dropping experience must be the pacing. In my opinion, the progression of the events makes the game truly similar to "real life". The game doesn't hold your hand, even though there's no complex puzzles whatsoever, you have to figure out what you have to do on your on if a partner does not guide you, which makes it a joy to explore and observe.

    I hate calling games an experience. It's basically a buzzword at this point. Games should be about gameplay, about challenge and overcoming obstacles. This game took my prejudices and slapped them into my face.
    Journey makes you feel. It talks to you without talking. It tells a story without telling. It's simple, and that makes it great.

    The story is phenomenal and open to interpretation. The visuals are stunning. The metaphors are everywhere and it challenges the idea of online gaming.

Everything else is up to you, this game from me get's high praises as something of a new piece of art since I am an artist (humble brag) able to convey emotions through music and visuals. That being said it should be played by people who think critically or are thinking about going into art, fun is something to be had here when you find a companion (they're random) to share in your experience creating a strange friendship with multiple stories to tell out of this. But again it's up to you since there is no definite story to this game and it' for you to interpret.

    Simply put: This game is up there with the best, and no I will not get off this emotional pain train.    … Expand

    I was cautiously optimistic as I prepared to play Journey for the first time. There were so many glowing reviews by game journalists that I could not discount its quality, however I wasn't completely convinced of its greatness and so approached it with hope and a slight amount of pessimism.

There were so many glowing reviews by game journalists that I could not discount its quality, however I wasn't completely convinced of its greatness and so approached it with hope and a slight amount of pessimism.

    There have been many defining moments with video games that I've experienced in my life. The joy and wonder of discovering likes of Pac Man and Centipede in the arcade as a five-year-old. As I grew up and video games changed, my horizons opened up with the possibility for adventure in The Legend of Zelda on the NES. Super Mario Brothers, Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Doom and Half Life. Each of these represented major evolutional steps in video games. Exploration, adventure, 3D worlds, immersion, storytelling. I look back fondly on all of those experiences but in doing so realized that as the years have gone by these types of moments came with less frequency and impact. I love games such as Mario Galaxy, Red Dead Redemption and Skyrim. I can appreciate the mind-blowing quality and depth of these games but they don't stack up to the experiences of my youth with, arguably, vastly inferior games.

    It only took a short time with Journey to come to the realization that I was experiencing something that I had been missing for many years. Chills ran down my spine. My pulse quickened. I was enthralled. It was not immediate but grew like a wave, building slowly and consistently until the wave broke in a crescendo that was moving and awe-inspiring that left me speechless and teary-eyed. I had not been affected like this in years and perhaps ever.

    Journey is an experience that is a privilege to partake in. It evokes a range of emotions from joy and wonder to fear and heartbreak. The visuals are a sight to behold. It is simple, but not simplistic. It will make you ponder life, friendship, love, loss and triumph. Journey deserves to be experienced.    … Expand

    Regarding its supposed short length, I disagree with those saying that two hours is too little considering its price (I bought it when discounted, in any case). Journey lasts what it has to last, a short period of time; otherwise, the experience would not be the same. Playing it in just one session is precisely one of the best points, in my opinion.

Mit vielleicht gut zwei Stunden Spielzeit ist der Titel viel zu kurz, in seinem Impact jedoch kaum zu überschätzen. Der Ausnahmetitel von thatgamecompany, der im Dreiergespann der sogenannten "Flow Trilogie" exklusiv mit Sony für die Playstation entstanden ist, verwehrt sich nämlich einem Genre und auch dem Vergleich mit anderen Titeln. Am ehesten beschreiben kann man den Titel vielleicht als Koop 3D Puzzle Plattformer - wird dem Spiel so aber kaum gerecht. Letztlich sind es drei Wesensmerkmale, die den Titel so besonders machen. Da ist zum einem eben dieser "Flow" den das Spielgefühl ausmacht. Irgendwo zwischen Laufen und Fliegen angelegt, schweben wir durch die Areale der wundersamen Welt von Journey. Was uns zum fantastischen Design und Stil der offenen Areale führt. Wenige Spiele sind stilistisch so catchy und beeindruckend inszeniert wie thatgamecompanys letzter Playstation Exklusivtitel. Das aber vermutlich wichtigste Merkmal des Spiels ist dessen innovativer Koop Ansatz. Man erlebt sein kleines, intensives Journey Abenteuer nämlich nie allein, sondern mir einem Online Partner, was der eigentliche Kunstgriff des Titels ist. Die Idee, die intensiven Momente, die Journey aufbaut mit jemand unbekanntes zu teilen, mit dem man auch nur rudimentär im Spiel kommunizieren kann, das macht die ganz besondere Erfahrung des Spiels wesentlich aus. Journey ist sicherlich eines der innovativsten Konzepte der Videospielegeschichte und sicherlich eine der tiefsten Erfahrungen, die man als Spieler machen kann. Auch wenn das Spiel mit gerade einmal gut zwei Stunden sehr kurz ist macht es das was es will in Perfektion und hinterlässt nachhaltig Eindruck.

    I played it when it came out. do not seek criticism, and this caused that his art impressed me in addition to the feeling that this game gave me, feelings that make me remember that video games are not always games or fun, many times there is art in them.

    Games like Flower or Abzu typically are boring to me but with Journey it was different. It has been a wonderful experience full of strong emotions, astounding visuals and music. Although you can easily beat it in one sitting (I recommend it), you'll definitely remember it for a long time.

    Искал расслабляющую игру- вот и нашел! Красивая игра с невероятными пейзажами и с легкий геймплеем. Сюжет тоже есть, но над ним нужно подумать чтобы понять (как по мне каждый должен по своему понять сюжет этой игры).

    _не встречал такой игры где одновременно есть всё и нет ничего, жизнь, смерть, дружба, одиночество, ковры и враги, безграничное чувство свободы, как наикрасивейшая пустыня, конечно же цель! - это наше предназначение которое мы должны исполнить

    Journey is a magnificent and emotional experience that can rarely be found in downloadable games.

    An incredible experience with a gripping narrative that is told all throughout with your actions and a great soundtrack backing it.

    If there was ever a game deserving of the word beautiful in it's description, it's Journey. The game is stunning to look at, satisfying to play and oozes atmosphere from every angle of its dynamic story and immersive world. Sure it's short by regular game standards but Journey is not a regular game. If your ready for an experience that will surprise you, move you and stick with you for many years after its done, then maybe this is the Journey for you.

    Clever, emotive, and easily the best downloadable game so far this year. [June 2012, p.58]
