    Un Viaje Para Dos.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    For me Journey and Inside are like the two sides of a coin. They have similar gameplay mechanics, great atmosphere, easy puzzles, a little platforming and they both focus on story.

    As a ultra-summary, it is a beautiful experience. I encourage anyone to give a shot to this game. In no more than 3h it completely engages you in the simplistic but at the same time gorgeous adventure.

    Amazing music, visuals, and environmental storytelling. A very short game. Easy puzzles which though fit with the overall narrative of the game. Very fluid.

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.    … Expand

    One of the most surprising and delightful finds of my two decades as a gamer. Journey was a powerful reminder of the need for wonder, introspection and connection with others. The short playtime also adds to the experience in a way, I don't know how to explain it, its just remarkable and worth experiencing for yourself.

    Beautiful game that I can't help but always love. The seamless Co-op with people you have never meet and likely won't meet again is a wonderful addition. By the end I was a wreck while chiming away with a complete stranger who i hope also ended with the same feelings. Music and looks are top notch but my only gripe would be I wish i could play for longer in this fantastic world.

    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.)

    Went into this blind. Was a bit confused at first as people who got thrown in with me would do the puzzle for me. Once I got past that, WOW what a stunning game. Soundtrack is incredible, especially near the end where it nearly made me tear up. Very uplifting experience.

    if you are looking to 100% the game however it does have a couple of trophies that do require you to find all hidden glyths and collectibles - and one where you must play through the majority of the game with the same companion.
    This brings my to my only real criticism of the game - your companion is a random person who is also playing at the same time as you are. you can only communicate via chimes. I would love to be able to add friends from my friend list and to play with them as my companion

    Story : (difficult it's interpretive - but does get you thinking)
    Music : 9
    Character: ( again difficult as the character isn't really unique in the traditional sense - but that isn't the point of them)

    If you get the chance it's worth playing - just don't expect combat or explosions if those are your game types.    … Expand

    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.
