    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.

    Farklı bir deneyim. Oyun denebilecek çok fazla yönü yok. Yanında biri olunca ayrı etkileyici oluyor ama fazlası değil.

    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" es un videojuego exclusivo de "Sony" originalmente lanzado para PS3 y que en 2015 se adaptó a PS4. Se trata sin duda de uno de los mejores "exclusivos" de la década pasada pero que sin embargo es muy diferente a lo que estamos acostumbrados por parte de los "exclusivos de Sony" (God of War, Uncharted...). Es un videojuego, podríamos llamarlo, de aventuras pero que sin embargo es"Journey" es un videojuego exclusivo de "Sony" originalmente lanzado para PS3 y que en 2015 se adaptó a PS4. Se trata sin duda de uno de los mejores "exclusivos" de la década pasada pero que sin embargo es muy diferente a lo que estamos acostumbrados por parte de los "exclusivos de Sony" (God of War, Uncharted...). Es un videojuego, podríamos llamarlo, de aventuras pero que sin embargo es mucho más que eso. Está centrado en el disfrute emocional, sensorial y visual. Esos aspectos son los más destacables y hacen de esta entrega una obra de arte.
    La acción comienza en un basto desierto, aparentemente carente de vida y controlaremos a un ser extraño, de una civilización lejana. Nuestro propósito es abrirnos paso a través de ese desierto e ir descubriendo sus secretos, sus vestigios de una civilización antigua y poderosa, que poco a poco será cada vez más notable. Aparte del desierto, en nuestro viaje recorreremos otros entornos mágicos y delicados y nos enfrentaremos a peligros mayores. Poco a poco iremos recogiendo una especie de runas que nos otorgaran poder en forma de poder volar con mayor autonomía. Esto es importante ya que el tamaño de la "bufanda" del personaje depende de estas runas y cuanto mayor sea la bufanda más podremos volar y así superar obstáculos con mayor facilidad.
    El viaje en sí, en mi opinión, es el recorrido de la vida hacia la muerte. Empezamos siendo débiles, pequeños ante un mundo desconocido y enorme (hace referencia hacia la niñez). Después iremos fortaleciéndonos y adentrándonos en la acción, descubriendo el mundo que nos rodea (adolescencia) y ya cuando dominemos los controles y tengamos poder nos armaremos de valor para seguir (madurez). Por último, el frío de las altas montañas y sus peligros nos debilitarán y al final caeremos rendidos, sin fuerzas, para después iniciar el viaje final hacia una supuesta vida "postmortem" (vejez y la muerte).
    Es un juego hermoso, con bellos paisajes, artísticos en su mayoría y muy bien realizados, llenos de detalles y con cambios de escenarios. Además, la banda sonora es idónea para este juego, se adapta a las situaciones y escenarios, llenando de harmonía los paisajes.
    Otro punto positivo y llamativo a la vez, que además lo podemos asociar con las fases de la vida, es que podemos encontrarnos con otros viajeros (con jugadores reales y no NPCs) y proseguir el viaje junto a ellos, cooperar y hacer más fácil la aventura y hacerla menos solitaria.
    En definitiva, se trata en mi opinión uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado, bello y profundo, con una duración que variará según la rapidez de tu forma de jugar, pero que sin duda te llenará de emoción y te hará reflexionar al terminar tu aventura.    … Expand

    Quite a disappointment. As I love philosophical topics, I thought I would enjoy the experience, but it appeared empty and boring. I like the idea, but not the effect. I feel that the simplicity, that should encourage you to think and "enjoy the silence" has no actual sense in this case. No matter how hard I tried to like like the game, I felt it's meaningless. Two points for nice visuals

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Journey is a short game but a wonderful one. You start off the game by mysteriously waking up in the sand, and as you go throughout the first level learning your controls like any other video game it shows the player what this world is like and what the goal is. Once you make it to the second level you find another character with you, that player 2 makes the game what it is. The player 2 of the game is any random person who is playing the game. This is amazing as you dont know who they are until you finish the entire game. The person you are playing with could be your long lost twin and you wouldn't know until you finish the game. This pushes the players to help eachother as the only way to communicate is by using a sound button, because of this they have to work together without speaking to eachother at all, which this is a great concept as everyone I have played with on journey has been nice and helpful during the game.

    The game also centralizes this working together statement even later on in the game when you are able to be attacked by enemies who take your scarf which is how you can fly. When playing through the game you may try and help your partner but then have to leave them behind. These moments are somehow able to convey entire emotions as you try to signal your partner to follow you but you cant talk to eachother.

    While Journey is a short game with little exciting gameplay it is able to make you connect with anyone and have fun for the 2-4 hour game. 5/7 it's a good short game    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Eu comecei a jogar Journey sem saber de nada sobre o jogo. Nada. No começo eu já vi como aquele ambiente no deserto era lindo. O jogo tem cenas simplesmente incríveis.
    Com certeza Journey é uma experiência diferente de outros jogos, e por isso acho que é um jogo nota 10 para esse estilo de jogo. Eu tentei achar algum defeito notável no jogo.. Mas sinceramente eu não achei.
    A experiência que eu tive nesse jogo é única. O modo como o jogo se desenvolve é simplesmente único. Eu fui entendendo ele de uma forma muito natural: como o pulo funcionava, como que o canto afetava aquelas faixas voadoras, e etc. E o que eu acho que é uma das coisas mais incríveis é o sentimento que eu tive jogando com outra pessoa. No início, eu achei que era um bot que estava comigo, e que ele só me mostrava o caminho. Mas depois percebi que era um player de verdade, e por causa da utilidade que cada jogador tem como outro (como recarregar as faixas que fazem você pular e planar) e dos momentos que passamos juntos durante a jornada, foi criada certa relação de importância entre meu personagem e o desse jogador. No final, quando estávamos na tempestade de neve morrendo, eu senti muito isso. Eu senti que eu e esse jogador precisávamos um do outro para sobreviver. Eu nunca tive uma experiência assim antes.

    Foi uma das melhores "primeiras experiências" que eu já tive em um jogo. Nota 10/10    … Expand

    Journey is a beautiful game with great visuals and audio, and I can recognise it's artistic merit. Personally though, I didn't connect with the game in the way that others seem to have done, and I can't help but feel it's quite overrated.

    Don't get me wrong, it is a visual treat, and the music is good. It's also a neat idea to have a random companion join you on your, well, journey.

    Don't get me wrong, it is a visual treat, and the music is good. It's also a neat idea to have a random companion join you on your, well, journey. It's interesting having that companionship there despite the limited interactivity. The final moments of the game are also really strong and act as a touching climax.

    However, beyond that, there's not much to Journey. It's a very simple and short game, which isn't a problem, but in the roughly 2 hours it took me to finish it, I never really felt affected by the game. There's not much in the way of gameplay and there's no challenge, so your enjoyment of a game like this hinges on whether or not it can engage and entertain you by other means. Unfortunately, I didn't find the wordless story or Journey's other elements to be super compelling. It has its moments, but I don't get the hype.

    It's a decent, very pretty experience, and I like some of its ideas. Artistically, it does have some value, but as a game, it's one I was a little disappointed by.    … Expand

    Worthless game I've ever played in my life, I'm dead serious. You just walk from point A to point B in a desert, sometimes there are ruins around and a dude joins you to overcome the tasks (and by tasks I mean: WALKING). A complete joke! I got this trash as the free game of the month at PS Plus and even then I feel like I was cheated.

    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.

    Видал я дерьмо, но такое!
    Купил я эту поделку в конце 2015, начитался "отзывов", игра года и т.д. Я честно её прошел, наверное, посидел, подумал, а что это ваще такое? За что я деньги отдал? (хорошо скидка была 80%). Это поделка на коленке, без сюжета, без.... да без всего!

    I think that game can be one of the most amazing game in play in nearly all Pc's. Because it has GORGEUS graphics and without 2-3 scenes never down 60fps. Have very good musics and cutscenes. A game to relax and chill.(If my English is bad I'm sorry.)

    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.
