Journey

It’s a simple remaster, but it makes a work of art all the more beautiful and immersive.

It’s as much a part of the PlayStation legacy as Ico is, as Shadow Of The Colossus is. Its place in PlayStation legend goes beyond its similar presentation and taps into something more sublime, something more exhilarating.

Don't expect a transformative HD remaster. [Oct 2015, p.88]

Journey is masterful. It's meaningful. You won't remember the details of every journey, but every journey is unforgettable. You'll have no choice but to play it again and again.

If you don’t know Journey, get ready to get excited. Not only because technically it is a convincing port. But more importantly because even after three years this masterpiece of reduced game design is as captivating as ever.

The game just tosses you into a lovely dream-like experience. This experience you probably won’t forget.

It hasn't lost any of its fascination - but only for those who haven't played it yet.

Still one of the indie game greats. Journey is must-play material on PS4. Wants for extras, however. [October 2015, p74]

Another remaster for an excellent title.

Short but intense and especially memorable. You can not say that Journey exploit the technical capabilities of PS4, but even with those, we continue to one of those experiences that every gamer should experience once in a lifetime.

Playing again on the PS4 was, is, and continues to be just as remarkable as it was three years ago.

The game is a spellbinding experience that really is a credit to its medium.

Journey is the best co-op game, most subtle storytelling and the most beautiful virtual piece of art we have seen these last ten years. The PlayStation 4 compliments that. Even though the visual optimization is small, this is a diamond that does not need a lot of cleaning.

Journey was a masterclass in emotional design when it came out. This sharper, crisper version still carries that badge.

Journey keeps all of its audiovisual and emotional charm in PS4, with slight visual arrangements, and the feeling that you are playing a unique experience. A true gem that doesn't age.

Journey is still the amazing experience it was in 2012, with upgraded graphics. If you haven't played it yet this is a must play title to have, simply because it offers a unique experience not quite like anything else.

Just as Journey is a beautiful game, it has a beautiful heart, and that makes the ending (which I won't spoil, even though you really should have experienced it by now), all the more heart wrenching, but ultimately beautiful.

Journey is a unique experience that has not aged at all since it was originally released on Playstation 3. On the contrary, the improved graphics makes the experience even more immersive. This is the closest we have come to the expression ”to play a painting”.

Journey is an evergreen experience that can still fascinate every gamer, coming today to PS4 in a beautiful and sleek edition powered by the high definition and the the liquid 60 frames per second.

Journey is minimalist to allow you to fill in those gaps with your own emotion and experience — to apply your personal situation and make the story your own. It’s a simple beauty, but one that shines brightly and now has the opportunity to be played by millions more thanks to its stunning upgrade to PS4, with beautiful lighting and environments that impress.

Is this just a game? I can feel this game, I can feel this journey in my heart. Great art design and an unforgettable experience.

A tremendous title on PS3, Journey is even better on PS4 thanks to a better resolution, improved frame rate, and sharper textures.

While being very short, Journey on PS4 still amazes us with its reworked visuals and an even better gameplay experience. One of the classics on Playstation.

After three years, Journey is still the most emotional and powerful video game of the PlayStation era. Just buy it, and enjoy a better life.

Anyway, Journey on PlayStation 4 is undoubtedly the definitive edition of an instant classic. It’s not drastically different and there really isn’t any new content, but the upgrades included in this package are noticeable and appreciated, and vault the production into the stratosphere.

With Journey, director Jenova Chen presents intimacy as a mirage in a desert and fits inclusivity into an abstracted model.

If you are returning to Journey, a higher resolution and a higher frame rate are your ostensible rewards for returning--a return that doesn't cost you anything if you already own the game on the PlayStation 3. But Journey's real rewards aren't so pedestrian. Journey offers you comfort. It gives you companionship in a lovely but forsaken world. It gives you reason to dream even when facing loss.

A beautiful, emotional, minimalist journey full of wonder and heartbreak.

Pulling on emotional strings throughout, Journey is every bit the masterpiece on PS4 that it was on PS3.

If you missed it on PS3, do yourself a favor and experience it on PS4. If you did play on PS3, you now own it on PS4, so this minimal graphical update is an excellent excuse to revisit it.

Journey is captivating, beautiful and elegant.

Journey has proven again it is a unique game, an experience every player looking for something different should experience.

Let's make it clear: Journey was one of the best games of the last generation, period. And now, in PlayStation 4, looks even more beautiful, so even if you played it before, you'll want to check it out again. If not: just enjoy one of the best experiences you'll play on a console.

Those who haven’t taken the two-hour journey to the mountain top yet should stop what they’re doing and dive in. Journey really is that good.

Journey’s interactive, visual, and aural elements work together, rather than fight with each other, in order to provide a flowing, seamless, influential, and utterly exhilarating experience.

If you haven't played this great masterpiece, this is a great time to do it, especially with this perfect port for the PS4.

An already beautiful experience is made even more gorgeous on the PlayStation 4 -- Journey is a trip worth taking. It’s a bite sized adventure that you won’t soon forget.

A great package with one brilliant game and two half-decent ones. The added extras bulk up the package nicely.

Journey is a true masterpiece. A sublime poetic experience in which all videogame elements combine perfectly to create an unforgettable trip. This PS4 version adds 1080p 60fps, which is significant but remains a detail as the original work stands for perfection. A splendid game forever, to put in all hands yesterday, today and tomorrow.

It's simply amazing how Journey can still be so intriguing and captivating after all these years. A testament that some works can really stand the test of time.

Journey for PS4 is the very same game that millions of players enjoyed on the PS3, a unique adventure that will touch your heart... but now at 1080p and 60 fps, making the experience even more enjoyable.

If you judge a game solely by its complex battle systems, intricate puzzles, or branching upgrade systems, Journey is likely a disappointment. If you’re open to that often nebulous realm of how a game might elicit emotion and the artistic potential of interactive narrative, Journey is an absolute must-play.

Less is most definitely more in this beautifully understated co-op adventure, that dares you to make sense of its enigmatic voyage.
