    Interesting visual experience, but extremely short and with no replayability. This could be a short film.

    Beautiful and unique experience, I was a little speechless once I finished it. Short and sweet, a must play for sure.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The ending killed any chance that I'll ever boot up this game again.

    ---{ Story }---
    You're a lil dude wandering the desert and some ancient ruins, on the way discovering what happened to a lost civilisation i guess.

    ---{ Gameplay }---
    This is at best a walking simulator with light platforming. The reason I've given a low score is the end. You make your way through most of the game and when your each the mountain at the end your lil dude gets cold and loses his scarf and starts walking slowly, and... it's so bloody slow. I keep reading how it's supposed to portray the hardship of old age, or the struggle or whatever, but it DOESN'T because you're SITTING at HOME, PRESSING a BUTTON. For TEN. MINUTES. And quite frankly that's some hipster ****

    ---{ Graphics }---
    Very pretty, cool art style, lighting was nice.

    ---{ Audio }---
    Amazing. The music changes with what you do, love that.

    ---{ Difficulty }---
    None whatsoever.

    ---{ Grind }---
    There are some collectables.

    ---{ Bugs }---
    None that i could find.

    ---{ PC Requirements }---

    Very unique game at a very cheap price. The game is gorgeous and it can very well be a metaphor of many things in life. Any goal, any adventure is a journey. Life itself. And it's as if this game depicted the beginnings, the highs, the lows... and of course the ending. I won't rate it a 10 because in my opinion it's not that much of a game, more like an interactive experience. But totallyVery unique game at a very cheap price.

    I picked up the game when PlayStation gave it as a freebie but didn't play it until after a while. Who knew I had a hidden gem in my library all along. Its short gameplay length caught me off-guard, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I did however struggle to complete the trophies. Maybe another playthrough can help me get the trophies.

    The aesthetic is incredible. It's mysterious and beautiful and atmospheric. Gameplay is straightforward but fun. Star is the drop in drop out multiplayer, which created some unexpectedly emotional moments. Downsides are length and replayability.

    Captivating exploration game that I'd describe as an arthouse videogame with a similar vibe to PS2 cult classics Shadow Of The Colossus and Ico. Adrenaline junkies may find it a little too ponderous but it's a rather unique experience with some truly special moments.

    This game is overrated. The best part was the ending sequence but it’s just a simple overrated game.

    One of the most unique and breathtaking gaming experiences one can have. Clever mechanics, puzzles, and controls combine with beautiful music amidst an incredible art style. The cinematic nature makes this brief title somewhat hard to replay, but this doesn't affect much. Everyone should play once.

    Journey is a visually stunning and emotionally captivating experience that transports players to a breathtaking world of mystery and wonder. The game's unique art style, coupled with an enchanting soundtrack, creates an immersive atmosphere that draws you in from the very beginning.

The absence of dialogue    Journey is a visually stunning and emotionally captivating experience that transports players to a breathtaking world of mystery and wonder. The game's unique art style, coupled with an enchanting soundtrack, creates an immersive atmosphere that draws you in from the very beginning.

    The gameplay is simple but effective, with a focus on exploration and discovery. The absence of dialogue and traditional storytelling elements allows for a more personal and introspective journey, where players can interpret the game's themes and messages in their own way.

    The game's multiplayer component, where players can encounter each other in the world and communicate through nonverbal gestures, is a highlight of the experience. It adds an element of unpredictability and surprise, as you never know who you might meet on your journey.

    The only minor downside to Journey is its short length, as the game can be completed in just a few hours. However, the game's replay value and the potential for different player interactions make up for this, as each playthrough can offer a unique and rewarding experience.

    Overall, Journey is a must-play game that showcases the power of video games as a storytelling medium. Its beautiful visuals, enchanting soundtrack, and thought-provoking themes make for an unforgettable journey that will stay with you long after the credits roll.    … Expand

    Remember that this game was made in 2012. This game is not meant to surprise you with its amazing graphics or game play. The game is simply beautiful in its own way. It may be boring or short, but it was only made as a piece of art. The visuals are by far the best part of this game, and surpasses a lot of other games.

    Journey controlamos um protagonista sem nome, representante de uma raça, esse está andando por um deserto sem maiores significados e objetivos.

    Nossa jornada, objetivo que leva o nome do jogo, é chegar em uma montanha essa que teria "cuspido" de seu interior palavras, conhecimento, logos, fala, que dão poder ao mundo e as criaturas de Journey. Sendo assim a montanha é algum tipo de metáfora para algo divino.
    Nosso personagem encontra esse mundo já devastado, tornado por deserto e ruínas de um antes glorioso lugar.
    Journey conta a história de uma forma lúdíca e através observação mas não é um jogo sobre a história, não, mas muito mais sobre a experiência que essa jornada faz você sentir, uma experiência intima, sensorial, emotiva, onde você pode cruzar sozinhos ou encontrar outros players que seguirão a jornada junto a ti.
    Joguei pela primeira vez no PS4 e lembro de ter terminado o jogo em lagrimas!
    Então me conte qual é a sua jornada?    … Expand

    The only thing i have to say about this game is "...eh!"
    The game is lacking... Being an actual game! With an actual story, with an actual engaging gameplay, adventure or action... This game is simply lacking ITSELF. How did that game got a score of 8.3 from 2673 people, is a complete mystery to me. It's a pretty game, but that's not enough! I'd give it a score of a    ... eh!

    Невероятно унылый забег по пустыне с решением головоломок. Ничего запоминающегося в этой игре нет, абсолютная пустышка. Пару баллов за визуал но в остальном полный 0

    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.
