Journey

Man. I've been wanting to play this game for a while because I play Sky: COTL, but when I saw that RTGame made a playthrough of it, I decided to have my own experience with it, and honestly this game is amazing. I don't know who I played with but they reminded me of a very close friend that passed away and when we were finishing our journey, it felt like my friend was with me. So, thank you whoever was playing with me and thank you to the devs for making this game.

A real Journey, including amazing visual and music. I especially liked the seamless coop. Can't wait to replay this in a couple of years. Keep in mind though that if you want the best value, you should probably look elsewhere.

I love this game. Playing it was a seminal experience in convincing me that games could be art, the only other game of which to show me this prior was the legend of Zelda: twilight princess. It’s not a terribly long game and I don’t really care that you don’t do much in it beyond walking, sliding, jumping, and floating. It’s a beautifully portrayed experience that still to this day overshadows giant squid’s later works.

It's pretty cool but short and unreplayable
76/100

i loved this game cause its kinda true, plus, its really FUN! its better with other players, i have to admit. but you deffenetly need to play this game. 5 star for me!

It definitely just something you must experience for yourself, story is short and sweet this is my third time playing first on ps3, the ps4 now pc and its still good. Did the whole thing with a companion too

This game Is very fun each time i played i had a new adventure with new companions and sometimes no companions i would highly recommend! I hope you have as much fun as me!

(Steam playtime does not represent actual playtime. Played on PS3 before.)

Journey is a timeless masterpiece that will throw the player into a spiritual pilgrimage. It provides a unique experience that will make you come back for more and share the experience with other (new) players.

The atmosphere it presents by the cinematography is perfected by the gorgeous soundtrack.
Please, and I cannot stress this enough, use headphones.

That said - I have always recommended this games to friends and strangers, and will do it for the years to come.
If you are looking for a unique experience that will stick with you for years to come, play it. You won't be disappointed.

When someone asks you, "Are video games art?", show them this game. A beautiful experience through and through. It's so beautiful that I even got emotional towards the end.

A truly beautiful game that will probably give you an experience you never had: connecting with, and caring for, a complete stranger over the course of a single gaming session. It really should be experienced by everyone.

Very cinematic and unique game. It's basically playable art.

This isn't so much a game but a work of art. The game doesn't tell you much, it's just you and you have to get to the mountain. The utter surprise when you find another player, and when you try to communicate and "understand" the other is wonderful. Can't wait to get back to this game in a few weeks and experience it again!

Really good if you are looking to kill time for like 2 hours. Not much gameplay, you mostly just appreciate the visuals and meet a random stranger that you clear the game with.

Very pretty, beautiful music.

Really hard to recommend this at full price though for how little game there is. And I don't even mean that in the length of time it takes to beat.

It took me 1.9 hours to beat it, and that's with having to restart a level near the very end because of a softlock

There just isn't very much gameplay, effectively no puzzles, and "stealth" is just "wait your turn", the majority of the game is just holding forward and waiting.

Great visuals though, and the scene of sliding down all the sand dunes was a real treat.

Don't think I could ever recommend buying this for more than like $3 though

I was bedridden after playing Dawntrail, but this game gave me the strength to remember that passionate game developers still exist out there.

This is an amazingly beautiful game. I don't think any other game has ever really brought me to the emotional state (other than anger/frustration) that this one has. Just amazingly beautiful.

This port is a joke. It crashes at the same spot and the only thing I could find was other people having the issue with legitimately no fix in sight. I've also heard that people have sound issues too. All problems and prosper. Now I have to buy it on PS5.

this was the first video game I ever played, and it is still my favorite. short and sweet and beautiful, i hold a special place in my heart for journey.

The visually outstanding desert scenery serves as the backdrop as our cloaked character sets upon the task of reaching a bright light at the top of a very high mountain. There is no dialogue and the story is told in a rather unconventional way, leaving certain elements open to interpretation. The musical score is often meditative, and suits the landscape of our adventure. One of the most unique moments occurred for me soon after I begun this game, another cloaked character appeared and began to approach me and "sing". I initially thought this was an NPC, but as we progressed through the level I began to realise that this other character seemed to behave a lot more...unpredictably than the typical NPC would. And then it hit me, this was in fact another human player, sharing the same world as I was. The developers deserve credit for integrating multiplayer in such a creative way. This is a short Journey, but one that I recommend be taken at least once.

This game is a work of art. I played through with a random player in a seamless co-op game, like, this person just showed up in my lobby. They were very pleasant to play the game with and our adventure was a roller coaster. An amazing game to play with a friend or a significant other, although some portions of the game drag out a bit long and can be frustrating for impatient players.

Very pretty game. Played a demo I think of it on my PS3 back then but never finished it somehow. Now I got to finally play it and it was worth it. I will come back to it very soon since i'm missing six lil upgrade thingies but overall, great game.

Journey is one of my all-time favorite games, and for good reason. It captures a sense of wonder with a simple yet profound story that draws you in without a single word spoken. The stunning visuals and mesmerizing landscapes feel alive, while the ethereal soundtrack perfectly complements the emotional depth of the experience.

The beauty of Journey lies in its ability to evoke powerful emotions through minimalistic gameplay and design. Each step feels purposeful, and the multiplayer component adds an unexpected layer of connection without saying a word. Whether you're gliding across sand dunes or ascending the mountain in the final moments, the game's atmosphere leaves an indelible mark.

It's a short experience, but one that stays with you long after it's over. Journey is more than just a game—it's an unforgettable experience.

Nice game, quite short but interesting mechanics and fun to play. 7/10

Great game, great visuals and scenery. Definitely would be fantastic to play if/when they make a new one, when it has a larger playerbase to interact with on the journey. But still worth playing now.

A lot of people talked about the beauty of the game, the free-flowing animation. I was most intrigued by the puzzle solving. It's hard to describe, but at its core, it is basic platform-puzzle type stuff. The storytelling is all done peripherally. But that also means some things are hard to understand. Like if you don't get something, you'll never get it because there's nothing else to explain it plainly.

The sand glistens in the sunlight, whispering softly beneath your feet, while strange, whimsical creatures float pensively above the desert. A lone, small traveler trudges forward, undeterred by obstacles, toward his personal oasis— the Magic Mountain, looming on the horizon like a Thomas Mann-esque allegory or Tolkien’s literal destination.

The world of Journey is hard to capture in words. It’s surreal, defying the usual laws of physics — this desert feels more like an ocean. The traveler frequently lifts off the ground, floating through the air like a jellyfish. The character's voice is their primary means of interacting with the world around them.

Music is not just an element of gameplay; it’s part of the narrative fabric. Composer Austin Wintory didn’t simply create a soundtrack—his ideas left a lasting imprint on the game’s development.

Game designer Jenova Chen calls their style "impressionistic realism," a term shaped as much by technical constraints as artistic intent. Yet Journey evokes a full range of emotions: childlike joy as you race down a dune alongside purring manta rays; an unexpected bond with a nameless, fleeting companion; a creeping sense of fear in the dark caves beneath the desert, where you meet your first real enemy; and, finally, euphoria at the sunlit peak of the mountain, a moment of catharsis at the summit of what once felt unreachable.

A remarkable three-hour journey.

Very memorable experience. It's a short game but the anonymous co-op makes it uniquely beautiful. I always enjoy indie games but this is one of the most uplifting I've played.

Before starting the game, I expected Journey to be a 5-6 hour-long adventure. I knew it was short and had an interesting multiplayer aspect, where other players appear unexpectedly to help you on your quest. But to my slight dismay, the game felt too short—I just blasted through it. To be fair, I didn't take the time to explore or interact with other players, but also to my defense, the game didn't give me much time to do so.

I was a bit disappointed because I was promised a game about completing a journey and feeling a sense of achievement at the end. However, when I reached the end, all I felt was disappointment and even considered refunding my **₹100**. In the end, I decided not to refund Journey. I’ll give it another chance because I think it’s meant to be played in this way. The developers seem to hope you'll return, perhaps to become the helper you needed when you first started your journey.

I will come back to Journey.

Fantástico! comprei a anos atras, não esperava nada, entregou tudo, sai com os olhos marejados sem trocar uma unica palavra!
STILL: o primeiro, que começou, o melhor, que por um erro meu fez os nossos caminhos se separarem.
IMOENZ: passagem rapida, como muitas coisas...
JJJIANGYU I 028: limitado! porem seguimos até o fim, mesmo com as idiotices pelo caminho, foi o que atravessou o final comigo!

onde estiverem, Obrigado!

An excellent game that uses art and sound to tell a story without the need for speech. Its only downside is that it has an ending.

Amazing art, stunning music, and lovely gameplay

A truly beautiful and classic game that is exactly what it's name is meant to be -- a Journey. As a writer, I am captivated by all the metaphorical meanings and the music that takes you alongside an emotional journey of a lifetime. I would recommend this game to anyone looking for a game to just escape the day to day grind and get immersed into another world -- to join strangers in silence, and help each other out. To experience happiness, sadness, and nostalgia.

Absolutely love this game and still holds up even today, if you just want a game to relax to but also immerse yourself into it's story of life death and rebirth and be emotionally touched?... then this is the game for you.

Journey offers a unique and breathtaking experience that transcends traditional gaming norms. Players navigate a vast desert toward a distant mountain, engaging in a wordless, meditative adventure that emphasises exploration and emotional connection. The stunning visuals, accompanied by a hauntingly beautiful score, create an immersive atmosphere that evokes a sense of wonder and solitude. One of the game's standout features is its innovative multiplayer aspect, allowing players to encounter others in a shared experience without direct communication, fostering a sense of companionship and mystery. Overall, "Journey" is not just a game but an emotional experience that lingers long after the credits roll, making it a must-play for anyone seeking a profound narrative and artistic expression in video gaming.

Amazing game, been one of my favourites since 2015 on Playstation. glad to be able to play it on steam as well. Love the soundtrack and the many environments of the story telling.

One of the purest co-op experiences you can have. I had a single partner through most of the game, leaving only before the icy part near the end.

Thank you, random Brazilian(?) dude. I hope you found your way back to the start.
