    Probably the most touching game I've ever played. Simple, but incredible.

    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.

    Not really my cup of tea. Wouldn't have played it if it wasn't for free. I have to admit is looks really nice, but it's very short and I don't see a way I would replay it. I can't find any satisfaction playing or finishing it. Not a bad game, but looking at the reviews, it is definitely overrated.

    I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the other guy was a human player! No wonder he kept ditching me...

    Playing this game is an amazing experience, many people dont understand this game, this game is to be relaxed, the graphics and soundtrack are to be inmersed.

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

    Oh my God. Where do I start? To all the people that just don't get it, I genuinely feel bad that you cannot experiece what I just did. This game was literally chilling. My hair was standing up. 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.

    Journey

    Positives
    -Amazing visuals
    -Amazing soundtrack
    -Unique animation
    -Great gameplay elements

    Negatives
    -It is just an audio/visual experience so there is no story and characters.

    Journey is a game that every player must experience once in their life. It is only 2 hours long so it can be finished in one sitting. For me it is one of the most unique experience I have ever had.

    Magnificent journey. First time I've seen this game many years ago on youtube and fall in love with it instantly.
    It's really great and I'm glad they export it on PC so much more gamers can experience this masterpiece.
    "Exclusive" games suck.

    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.

    A while ago I thought about which game is my all time favourite. I have always said that that game is either the last of us or red dead 2, but I actually think that it is this game.

I like everything about it, story, graphics, music, feeling, the gameplay is very simplistic but it works for what type of game it is. While playing you can really feel what the character is feeling and that is hard to do for a game without dialog or even faces! So it is a very simple and short game, but I would say that the time it takes to complete is perfect for what it is. After you beat it it also sticks with you for a while, like a long time hence why I'm writing this review now and not when it came out.… Expand

    Journey creo que más que un juego, es una experiencia, y muy buena además. Como empieces a jugar, probablemente juegues hasta acabártelo. Es tan atractivo y bonito este juego que es un placer pasárselo. Hoy, 9 de febrero de 2022 me lo he terminado y ha sido una auténtica gozada. Felicidades a los creadores porque ha sido inolvidable. Gracias.

    One of the most hyped games ever. There are not dialogues. There are games with better graphics than this game. It felt more like a walking simulator than an actual game. I do not understand the hype. I don't feel it poetic either. It's just a game where I had to walk for 2 hours doing nothing. May be others might have loved it, but, for me , personally, this game is way over hyped.!

Journey is such a beautiful experience that is created with love and care. It has one of the most beautiful OSTs to ever be written for anything not just video games. The Co op in this game is genius and all the mechanics in it are perfectly made to make a bond with a stranger and just help each other instead of finding ways to hurt each other. Everyone should at least try this game. Absolute Masterpiece.… Expand

    Trust me, Journey is worth playing and is overall a pretty good game, but I think is quite overrated. I expected so much more and in some aspects let me down.

    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

    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.
