    Very nice indie game. The multiplayer is awesome, you dont know who you're playing with, but you feel a connection with this person. The scenarios are very beautiful and the gameplay is simple and fun.

    After years of reading rave reviews and suggestions that Journey is "one of the greatest games ever made", I finally played this game and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because it's one of the most bland, boring, unrewarding experiences I've ever sat through. It's visually pretty enough, and the music is very nice. But aside of that I have nothing good to say about it.

It's visually pretty enough, and the music is very nice. But aside of that I have nothing good to say about it. It's horrible as a game. The gameplay is mostly walking forward and nothing else. There's no real challenge, no bosses to overcome, no real puzzles or problems to solve, no story or plot to be had, and it's extremely short, it took me less than two hours to finish.

    I don't recommend it, and I cannot understand the hype and critical acclaim surrounding it.    … Expand

    One takes one a half hora to complete It, there are no voice acting, no tutorial,s no text, no fights, no maps. But It doesn't need it to give you the message. Really good game.

    8.7 из 10. Очень хорошая игра, учитывая, то что я её взял на халяву. В ней шикарно все. Графика, саунтрек, гемплей. Хорошая кооперативная игра, где ты должен бок о бок ходить за своим напарником чтобы не помереть.

    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.

The players you meet just come out of nowhere and you don’t even know what are their names until the credits which is really neat. Journey might be very well be short and simple but it’s at least unique and interesting with its approach to story telling and gameplay. (Good 3/5) Give It A Try!… Expand

    I’ve had a fleeting interest in “Journey” for quite some time now. If you guys have followed my game reviews up to this point, you know that I’ve enjoyed indie games like “RiME” and “Fe” a lot, and I’ve heard that games like those possibly may not exist without “Journey” (in fact, many previous said that “RiME” pretty much wore the “Journey” influence on its sleeve, and now that I’veI’ve had a fleeting interest in “Journey” for quite some time now. If you guys have followed my game reviews up to this point, you know that I’ve enjoyed indie games like “RiME” and “Fe” a lot, and I’ve heard that games like those possibly may not exist without “Journey” (in fact, many previous said that “RiME” pretty much wore the “Journey” influence on its sleeve, and now that I’ve played both, I can see it), and if nothing else, “Journey” seemed like a game that had quite an impact on several modern games, specifically several indie games today. Recently, the game became free on the PlayStation 4, and morbid curiosity got the best of me. I wanted to give the game a shot, and see if I can feel its influence in games like “RiME” and “Fe.” And I most certainly did, but…is it wrong that this game left me somewhat conflicted? Did playing games like “RiME” and “Fe” beforehand morph my perspective on this game, given that I’d already experienced what it had to offer in other titles? I’m not sure, but I definitely walked away from this feeling conflicted.
    Don’t get me wrong, “Journey” does a lot of things amazingly, specifically in regards to its art design. This game has been talked about quite a bit in how it pushes the “gaming as an art form” debate, and I can totally see why: the visuals are absolutely stunning, the sweeping landscapes are quite a wonder to behold, the score is pretty beautiful, and there are plenty of genuinely thrilling moments in the game. The writing and the way it’s presented with no words is fantastic as well, I think the game is perfectly accessible and easy to get into, and I think the way the game uses multiplayer, where you come across a player that’s randomly connected to your game, is really intuitive and it adds to the emotion that the game works to elicit. In regards to the experience, I can absolutely say that “Journey” is fantastic, and it’s something well-worth experiencing. In fact, you’ll probably be talking about it a lot even after playing through it once.
    All that said, the game is held back to me because, while it’s a fantastic “experience,” I can’t say it’s great as a “game.” In fact, I’m not sure I can totally even categorize it as a “game.” There’s interactivity to it, sure, but the gameplay as a whole is very minimal, and I think that can be the game’s biggest pratfall. The developers of the game were clearly more focused on the artistic wizardry and sophisticated storytelling with this game, which is fine, but I’m personally a “gameplay first” player, and when the gameplay doesn’t stand as tall as said sophisticated story, I think it falls a bit short. I get it, it’s called “Journey” because, of course, it’s not about the destination, it’s about the “Journey,” and that’s fantastic, but with the lack of interactive, short length, and overly-easy gameplay, I found myself wondering if all of this could’ve worked well as an animated short project, or as a stage orchestra with the visuals of the game playing in the background, as opposed to a game. And, while I didn’t want my praises and critiques to be comparisons to “RiME” and “Fe,” since it’s important to judge the game on its own merits and not by comparison, I want to bring them up for a minute, because I think the reason why I enjoyed games like “RiME” and “Fe” as much as I did is because, yes, they are also great experiences with beautiful art design, but I personally also felt engaged with the gameplay in both of those titles, and I felt like they both remembered that they were games just as much as they were experiences. With “Journey,” though, it’s all about the experience, and the gameplay feels tertiary to it all, unfortunately.
    Overall, I wanted to love “Journey,” and honestly, as an experience, it’s fantastic. Hell, the artistry of the game kinda makes me want to go back and play it again. But, from a gameplay perspective, the game doesn’t match up as well, and it doesn’t feel like the “masterpiece” that I’ve been told it is. Gameplay aside, I definitely recommend that you, if nothing else, experience “Journey” in some way. If it’s by way of watching a YouTube video, watching a friend play, or just doing some general research on it, I absolutely recommend you experience the game. Just make sure you know thyself and what you like in a “game” before picking up a controller and playing it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Journey no atraerá a todos los jugadores. Cosa que es una pena. Yo soy un gran fan de esta clase de juegos, y he jugado a cientos de juegos artísticos, pero este, no entro. El problema con Journey es que es muy corto, se siente muy incompleto y el precio es de 15 dolares. Lo he terminado en una sentada, en 2 horas, y que he entendido del universo del juego? Nada... Absolutamente nada... Bueno, quitando de que eres un "viajero" y tenes que llegar a una montaña, y después al llegar te convertis en una luz y... ya esta. No hay explicaciones de quien eres, que haces ahi, quienes son los sujetos vestidos de blanco, que son los restos de esa civilización, los que te arrancan parte de la bufanda... NADA! Muchos dirán de que el juego es emocional, bello, una experiencia audiovisual, a libre interpretacion... Es que, es ese el problema. La música y los gráficos cumplen extraordinariamente bien! En eso no hay quejas... Como experiencia, el juego cumple. Aunque gráficamente se ve bastante pálido en zonas oscuras, porque la PS4 no tiene la paleta de color negro, igualmente esta genial. Y el personaje principal, si bien no tienen ni carisma al no hablar, sus animaciones y su diseño son interesantes. Pero ahora hablemos del problemon del juego... La jugabilidad... Y es que la jugabilidad no intenta nada. Es que no intenta nada nuevo a comparación de otros juegos del mismo estilo. Haber, yo soy de los que piensan que innovación no quiere decir calidad, y que un juego que no innova, si cumple y tiene algo interesante, puede ser un muy buen juego incluso. Pero Journey es simplemente caminar de un punto A a un punto B, resolviendo puzzles super sencillos y la historia es inexistente. No hay ninguna explicación para todo lo que has hecho. Se supone que es un juego abstracto... pero es tan excesivamente abstracto, que parece hecho así solo por pereza. Al terminar el juego no hay nada mas que hacer, salvo empezar de nuevo y conseguir todos los trofeos... Que desaprovechado... El multijugador también... Podrías explorar mas partes del mapa para encontrar coleccionables.... podrías tener un recuento de las personas con las que jugaste en todas tus aventuras.... Ni siquiera lo intentaron. Y hablando del multijugador, no me habría enterado del online si no lo hubiera googleado al ver nombres de personas aleatorias al terminar la partida. Quitando la música y los gráficos, no hay ningún punto realmente positivo, mas alla de que ciertas personas lo vean como una "experiencia audiovisual atractiva.... Que es esto? Una película? O un juego? Porque hay juegos que parecen películas que son muy buenos juegos, esto no es ni siquiera una buena película, ya que todo queda al final a libre interpretación, y si bien esta bien que hayan secretos en la trama, que la trama se base únicamente en secretos, resulta en dar lugar a un producto sin trama y hecho a las apuradas.... Y en consecuencia, mucho menos un juego, y no es barato precisamente! En mi opinión, tendría que estar gratis, mejorar la historia y añadir mas rejugabilidad para poder salvarse.… Expand

    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.

    I played through Journey on both PS3 and PS4, and I regret to say that I fail to see why this game is "universally acclaimed" and has such high ratings. It (sometimes) looks fairly nice, it may be poetic or philosophical or whatever, but as a game, it's nothing to write home about.

    There are several game design choices that don't make much sense and make the game frustrating or annoying. For example, the fact that you need to "recharge" your scarf to jump (until you get the white robes), or the sentinels/guardians (which are just annoying). The Snow level is also too long and annoying, with the character walking so slowly and getting pushed back by the blizzard.

    All in all, the game isn't horrible but I don't think it qualifies as a good game. An interesting "experience" maybe, for people who may be looking for such experiences in video games.

    Note for trophy hunters : This game is short and easy, and the trophies are fairly simple, but the multiplayer ones may prove to be tedious since you don't know who you're gonna get paired with and what they will decide to do.    … Expand

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 game is a 10, one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I have ever had. Beautiful with great music. Coming across another player is magical and feels meaningful. There should be more games like this in the world.

    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.

    The music and visuals make this game a must play. Its definietly not something you are going to sink a bunch of time into but at this point the low price point and low demand of time i'd recommend everyone with a ps3/4 give it a try. I really enjoyed my time with it and look forward to going through it again sometime in the future.

These games had some nice ideas but were essentially little more than tech demos. Despite its difficult development their third title is however something special indeed.

    Journey opens with a cloaked figure awakening in the desert, heading to the top of the nearest sand bank you are greeted by a mountain shining in the distance. Instinctively you know that's where you should be heading, your journey has begun...

    Other than a few simple puzzles Journey features very little traditional gameplay. Instead it is the visual and audio design, alongside the brilliantly implemented online multiplayer, that combine to make for a truly memorable (and at times even emotional) experience. At around two hours in length it doesn't take long to play through but Journey well and truly ends the debate as to whether or not video games can be considered an art form.    … Expand

    One of the shortest and most boring games I ever encountered.
    Honestly, I forced myself to finish it, so this review could be written with full overview of the game, and not just the first chapters.
    Even though it may be called beautiful by some, it is simply not fun at all.

    The game was boring, extremely simple and very short. I did not manage to get immersed and I was always thinking when is something fun going to happen? But that “fun” never came. The only positives is the art style and music which gave it some kind of charm… I guess. In the end it was not a game for me and it gave me no enjoyment playing it.

    However, everything else in this is pure trash. Your Journey is only 1 hour long (1 f**king hour!!!), and the thing is, it's 1 hour TOO long. It's absolutely bloody boring, with the gameplay consisting of just walking through linear levels and jumping sometimes, because jumping in this game is a finite resource. Innovations, people. The background plot is presented mostly through murals and can be told in a couple of sentences, and that's not a summary, that's the whole literal "story". So, there was a civilization of people who harvested some energy from nature to power up their cities. The energy ran out, so they started a war which destroyed the civilization, and now their souls or something somehow spawned one traveler, which is you. Amazing, very touching, so enlightening. The events of the game are even simpler and can be summarized in just one sentence. You start off in a desert, see a mountain, reach the mountain, fade to white, the end. For f**k's sake.

    I totally don't get all the praise this "game" got, it's all wannabe "artsy", all style over substance. I got it on sale and regret every cent spent on it. I would have given it a 1/10, but the visuals are really good, so it's a 2. Still a piece of s**t, though.    … Expand

It was free on PS+ for the PS4 last year, so I downloaded it and kept it tucked away in the games library, until after completing Nier Automata and needed something to fill the gap between the next big game.

It was free on PS+ for the PS4 last year, so I downloaded it and kept it tucked away in the games library, until after completing Nier Automata and needed something to fill the gap between the next big game.

    So I started to play. Taking in the visuals, the sound, the atmosphere and suddenly it clicked. Journey is what it says on the box, a Journey. It's not about anything more than reaching your spiritual destination and taking in the wonders along the way. The game is a build up to a beautiful and mesmerising last act complemented by a haunting and moving soundtrack that (if invested in the game) can bring you to tears by the end. The sound track builds from calm flutes and woodwind instruments to a beautiful flowing and powerful crescendo using a wide variety of classic western and eastern instruments. The soundtrack as a standalone is worth purchasing.

    Journey really is a special experience.

    Journey is a piece of digital art, an experience. A small bit of escapism from reality. It is a relaxing experience, refreshing and thoughtful. Many modern games are all about stress: fast reactions, battles, violence and explosions. Journey is a rare break from the norm, a moment of relflection and peace. After playing I felt content, happy and warm.
    Along my Journey I met other players in the world I traveled with some for a while and simply sat down and reflected with others, one I communicated with through sounds, it was a very unique experience.

    The graphics are stunning at times, they are simple but the use of color and lighting add an artistic depth to the imagery that leaves a lasting impression. At one point the camera changes to a side angle while sliding down a sand dune into an ancient building, the sun is setting and the light shimmers off the ground making it look like water, if you took a screen shot and printed it, it would make a gorgeous framed picture.

    As a game, it's basic, there's no skill needed but that's not the point, it's more like an interactive piece of art, the trophies are annoying, It's unfair to throw in silly trophies like finding 10 creatures or a desert flower. It breaks the experience and I didn't want it to be broken for the sake a boring collection trophy.

    Journey needs to be judged different to the normal game type. That's why I can happily give the game a 9. Compared to masterpieces like The Witcher 3 or Dark Souls this may seem strange to rate a two hour game a 9, but in it's own category it achieves brilliance.

    Journey will be one of those games you will mention when discussion games as art and will stay with you as a a great gaming memory.    … Expand

    Journey is an experience that few games can match when it comes to emotional gravitas and feeling. It's not a hard game, a beat-em up, or anything that defines a more violent construction of what gamers see in triple-AAA titles, but rather a deep philosophical trip that allows players to develop their own ideas on the game.

Anyone can play this game with a universal system of how it plays out, tells its story and adds a co-op system that never intoxicates players with chatting. Despite its 2-3 hour time, It still nails the artistic style, music and emotions that still put itself on a pedestal for how art games shine even above conventional ones.… Expand

    Following on from Flow and Flower, it is clear that thatgamecompany have learnt to utilise what was good about their games because Journey is absolutely fantastic. It's a masterful combination of gameplay, art, music, storytelling and pure emotion that should be recommended to everyone.

    This game has beautiful visuals and sublime soundtrack with a story that is open to interpretation. Unfortunately, I didn't have much interaction with a couple of players that came across during my play through, which I think can change the whole experience. Overall it's a game that has been worth experiencing it but that I doubt I'll replay or remember in a long time.

    Ow... Now I remembered the first time I have played it. Magical... just magical. This game is beautiful, and can get your attention. I strong agree this is the best PS3 game, and one of the bests of PS4. Just play and see it.

    It’s a disgrace not to know this game. [10/2015, p.61]

    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.
