    A fantastic mix of different emotions, unusual NSA, unlike each other levels, each with its own atmosphere, a magnificent realization of desert and sand, enchanting music, which fits perfectly into what is happening on the screen. It's not just a game - it's upscale, professionally created artwork! The only disadvantage of this masterpiece, unfortunately, fleeting..

    Amazing aesthetic, game play was fun for something as simple as it is. The world and "story" are interesting. I like it a lot but it doesn't have anything that would push it to masterpiece status personally.

    JUGABILIDAD:
    El concepto de Journey es interesantísimo.
    Somos emparejados con otro jugador, del que no sabemos ni siquiera su nombre de usuario, y debemos hacer nuestro viaje con él o ella. Es extraño cómo el juego es capaz de crear un nivel de compañerismo tan profundo con alguien con quien no puedes comunicarte y que acabas de "conocer". Es extraño la fuerza del lazo que puedes hacer, en cuestión de segundos, con una persona de la cual no volverás a saber nada.

    En mi partida, la persona en cuestión ya conocía los "secretos" del mapa y tengo que confesar que dejarme guiar por alguien más, y el esforzarme por no "fallarle" a ese desconocido, ha sido una de las experiencias mas increíbles en mi vida como jugador. Si me lo hubieran contado no lo hubiera creído.

    Eso es lo mejor y lo principal, de ahí en fuera la jugabilidad es muy simple: en pareja, debemos explorar unas zonas hermosas en busca del santuario al que debemos llegar para seguir avanzando. Podemos avanzar con el joystick, saltar, volar durante pocos segundos.
    Hay un par de áreas que debemos cruzarlas deslizándonos por la arena, y han sido especialmente divertidas. En algunas otras seremos empujados por el viento, frenados por la nieve, o cazados por destinas criaturas. Todo, claro está, sin separarnos de nuestro compañero.

    GRÁFICOS:
    Visualmente deslumbrante, el juego presenta un estilo minimalista con una paleta de colores acertada. Todo está dibujado de tal forma que el mapa se siente gigantesco (claro que no lo es), y la exploración y el avance son un deleite, así como los juegos de luces y los escenarios en sombras

    La parte final del juego... wow.

    SONIDO:
    Una banda sonora de 10, todos los momentos están ambientados de forma espectacular. En éste juego en particular, la música juega un papel de gran importancia. A través de ella es que experimentamos los sentimientos que el juego busca transmitir, y creo que el soundtrack es en gran parte la razón de que desarrollemos ese lazo tan importante con el otro jugador.

    Una vez más lo digo: la parte final... wow.

    INNOVACIÓN:
    Journey es un juego único. ¿Podría haber ciertas inspiraciones? Probablemente, en lo personal me hace recordar juegos como SOTC, pero su concepto es especial. Muy especial.

    A game with no dialogue, no words, not even a sound resembling speech coming from any of the characters, it wasnt even that long, and it made me cry.

    Game with an incredible artistic section, the truth is I am surprised because I did not know this game and I played it at once. To put a snag, I do not like to rate a game 'by weight' but it was too short. However, recommended.

The game is simplistic and minimalistic in many ways, yet still managed to entertain me for its full duration. You play as a shrouded, red-cloaked figure who embarks on a journey through a vast desert landscape. You traverse through a number of different environments in order to reach the top of a nearby mountain, which is the destination of your journey. The multiplayer aspect of this game allows you to see other players also embark on their journeys towards the same goal. You cannot talk or interact with them, but you may choose to join them, and complete your journey together.
    The game is undeniably beautiful, and while playing I found myself pausing multiple times, simply to look around and take in the wide landscapes around me. Each level contains collectibles called Symbols, and secrets called Glyphs, which are a joy to find and collect. The reward for doing this is equally satisfying.

    Journey only sets out to do a few things as a game, but it perfectly nails all of those points. My only gripe with the game while playing was that it could sometimes be a bit tedious to walk long distances, to get from one side of a level to another. Especially in the third desert level there are some long walks that take some time. However, other than that, I do not regret my time spent playing this game in the slightest, and I look forward to revisiting it once more at a later time.

    However, gameplay wise it feels a barebones version of Uncharted game without shooting. Which sometimes works and sometimes feels like a PS2 era game.
    Also, stylistically the game isn't coherent enough. It's a mesh of Shadow of the Colossus, Zelda Breath of the Wild and INSIDE. And all this other games felt much more fresh and directed in their design.
    So, whatever. It's a great 2-3hr game. Which doesn't overstay its welcome. And at peaks it transcends to pure joy. But 50% of the game you can see a gamedesigner's work through stitches. It's still a product of love.

    This is a prime example of a good idea executed well. Beautiful visuals and music, good controls and a great gameplay flow. Would probably rate it even higher but it's so damn short - will take you about 1 - 2 hours to complete, depending on your playstyle.

    Journey is the ultimate art game. The player controls a robed figure on a journey through a desert towards a distant mountain, which can be seen from the beginning.

It's possible to meet another random player from the beginning and finish the game together if they don't separate. Upon reaching the cold mountain traversal becomes more difficult and then the final act is an awesome combination of fantastical vistas and music, unmatched by any other game I've played since. This game lasts 4 hours or so, but you should do yourselves a favor and play this game even if it is rather short. It's quality that matters, not quantity.

    As a side note, the PS4 version technically runs better (1080p and 60 fps) than the original did on PS3 (720p and 30 fps). There is a minor downgrade in the way sand is rendered compared with the PS3 version, but most people won't even notice. The game's still beautiful.

But more so than that, what really draws me back to Journey week after week is the fact that you make an emotional connection with other players. It is very relaxing to play Journey after a long work day, and to be able to help out or travel along with an anonymous companion. I've purchased triple A titles and spent close to $50 on other PS4 games before, but none of them captivated me as much as Journey did, and I still continue to play Journey even after a year of owning it.

All this story tells you is that I can't say that Journey impacted me the way it did to that many players back then, but even then i have to commend the developers for making this incredible experience, even if it is short and not very replay value apart from trophy hunting. The game looks absolutely amazing, the sounds, music, everything just sort of fuses together. I remember comparing Abzu to Fantasia, and that doubles for Journey even more. I can say if you have the chance play this game, it is a very fascinating experience, even if you get to it late like i did, sometimes, the "Journey" is worth it. Expand

    This is undoubtedly what makes this game so remarkable, it's amazing how That game company can make us bond with a complete stranger with whom we only communicate through small sounds and gestures, I still remember the 2 companions who helped complete this path, despite its short duration Journey is rather a great game that brings something different and unique.

    Pretty good game. Nice story, nice interactive, nice physics, and difficulty. At the same time, I didn't feel anything special about the game and no attachment at all. Probably it's a one time entertainment.
    The game also reminded me of Prince of Persia 2008.

    One word: masterpiece!
    The game is short (around 2 hours to finish it) but awesome. The music is beautiful, the graphics are nice, the story is deep and the ending is spectacular. We need more games like this!

    Unusual gameplay that requires to use only one stick and one button, but I can’t say that this lack of button usage has affected to its quality.

    Soundtrack is provided by Austin Wintory, and he have done excellent work to make this game make you feel relaxed, or sometimes make you feel worried in tense situations.Clearly the best theme in this game ost is theme called «Nascence», one of my favorite themes from whole games I’ve played.
    Of course there’s almost nothing about the plot, but visual narrative makes you empathize the characters, and sometimes you can meet some players, that are playing in the same as you.I’ve been playing this game when COVID-19 started, and Sony were giving away this game.And during the quarantine many players where playing this game, and approximately at the half of my play trough I met a player who were playing right now, and we’ve got to the end of the game together.None of the games I’ve played provided me such pleasant and relaxing, and at the same time friendly experience as much as this game did.

    Ce genre de jeu où même seul devant sa télé, on s'émerveille et on lâche des "woooh" à voix haute. Une vraie merveille ! Et quelle joie de réaliser la présence d'un autre aventurier, quel jeu d'essayer de communiquer avec lui sans texte ni voix. J'ai un souvenir génial d'avoir fait le finish du jeu au côté d'un compagnon d'infortune.

    This game is truly beautiful, I had such a blast playing it. Consider playing this game if you:

    - Appreciate art in games
    - Like a slow placed relaxed experience
    - Don't mind paying for a game that is only about 2 hours long and has close to no replay value

    If you do you don't regret it.

    5 horas......as melhores horas que já tive em um videogame, pra alguns isso pode soar um exagero, mas ao embarcar nessa jornada eu senti mais do que em qualquer outro jogo, vivenciei momentos emocionantes com um jogador aleatório que pode estar do outro lado mundo...e isso é incrível, de mais não consigo nem expressar o quão pessoal e poderoso esse jogo é pra mim.

    Journey is a very simple and short game, it tells a story with no words and the gameplay is also as simple as the story it self. Of course it isn’t a bad thing not even close to it, the gameplay changes to many things as you go through the game. Supporting the game as well is the fantastic soundtrack, but the unique thing about journey is the people you meet in your journey.

    It is not a game for those who just like AAA, it is much more contemplative and brilliant. About Platinum, it's very simple, you just need to find all the few collectibles and be lucky to find a player who finishes the game with you, which is very easy.

    Es ist ein sonderbares Spiel, welches durch schöne Optik und einen spannenden Gameplay-Kniff glänzt. Es hat mir gut gefallen, leider konnte es mich aber nicht endlos berühren, was daran liegen könnte, dass mein zufälliger Mitspieler auf Trophäen spielte, weil er das Spiel schon kannte.

    Everything in the game is at its best, graphic is great, the music is like a voice from heaven, control and camera are smooth and satisfying, the story is short and simple but full of emotions.

    A brilliantly simple yet captivating game following a mysterious figures quest through various mini worlds. The online aspect is cool - you will be joined by another player but it’s non-invasive and definitely adds to the experience. Well worth a play through which will take roughly a couple of hours, a game to experience and reflect on.

I honestly don't know if a game has ever made me feel this way. It's a walking simulator, but on such a different level. It is hard to believe that so much beauty can come in such a small package. Bravo.

    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.
