Luckily, I met a person who stayed with me til the end, showed me every secret, and waited for me when I disconnected. We even drew a heart in the snow together. It's moving to know that a stranger I've never met and never spoken a single word to was willing to help me like that. I will continue this beautiful cycle, and next time, I'll become the one guiding other people. This game is truly a one-of-a-kind experience, it redefined what's possible in this medium. 10/10.
Journey dials way back on actual gameplay n puts all its juice into clean visuals n vibe. Gameplay’s super bare-bones, basically just a walking sim, but that 2 hour single run hits so hard on immersion. Perfect for when ur feeling kinda burnt out, whole thing’s super chill n even kinda sleepy in the best way.
Journey is a beautiful, emotionally moving, and profound statement piece in regards to video games as a form of art. Set the tone before playing this one. Set your expectations. As I read in another user's review; this is a game you must be in the mood for before playing. It's best played alone, in a cold, dark room, late at night, with nothing but a single candle lit next to your screen. Maybe after everyone else in the house has gone to bed, or before everyone else in the house has woken up. Journey is a beautiful game, and one that I've put off playing for far too many years. Whilst I've known about Journey for well over a decade at this point, it wasn't until yesterday that I finally played it. For once, I'm glad to say I waited to play this game. It's not one for a youthful mind or a playful mind. It has zero dialogue. It has zero boss fights. It has zero combat encounters. I was fortunate enough to have a good companion for my entire playthrough, which was a nice surprise. You see, Journey is not a solo journey. Though... it may feel as though you're alone. It starts out in the desert. You are seemingly all alone. Alone in this ... apocalyptic world? This desolate world? This world which resembles Arrakis of Dune fame. Soon, you will find yourself with a companion. You won't realize when this companion joins you. But if you're as fortunate as I am, you will spend your playthrough traveling the world together. Going from the desert to what seems to be an underwater ruin and helping each other along. It will be nothing but the two of you as you wander across this hopeless and abandoned land. Land which seems uninhabitable. But it's not. It's you and your companion. Your companion whose name you may never know. How can you communicate? With one button. You cannot talk. You cannot chat. You cannot do anything but play a simple chime with what would be the O button on PlayStation. This world seems barren. This world seems forgotten. You seem to be alone, confused, hopeless, and helpless. But you have each other. Stick together, meditate together, and journey together. Help each other rise above this planet and soar with the ... carpets? With the birds? With the banners? With the bridges? Discover a world unlike anything else that came before. This is not a game about ripping and tearing. This is not a game about finding all the jiggies or fighting off all the aliens. There is no permadeath. At least... not in the traditional sense as games like X-COM and FTL: Faster Than Light would have you think. Journey doesn't demand you to go on a high-adrenaline killing spree. It doesn't demand that you deeply strategize your next move to kill the enemy troops before they reach your base. It doesn't even demand that you activate your prefrontal cortex to solve some outlandish puzzles. What it does demand from you, is your attention. it demands your heart. Journey asks nothing of you but for you to open your heart and your mind. For you to open yourself up to the feeling and the journey that it has laid out for you. You might not be ready for it now, but you will be ready someday. And when that day comes, Journey will be here waiting. It will never have left. It will only have waited. Buy Journey. Play Journey. Feel Journey. Experience Journey. Live Journey. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technical Review (Steam Deck): This game runs great. 60 fps locked with low settings. Played the entire game in one, 90-ish-minute sitting with the Steam Deck docked to my TV. The game was absolutely gorgeous on the bigger screen, and I have zero doubts that it would be just as beautiful on the smaller screen of the Deck itself. Especially on the OLED model with some of the later parts of the game. I will certainly be replaying this one.
I have just finished Journey, and I wanted to share a few thoughts after spending more than 9 hours in total and unlocking every achievement. I did not just finish the game once and leave it there; I played it across a few finishes, letting the experience settle in, and honestly, that felt like the right way to approach this game. What stood out to me the most was the atmosphere. The visuals are simply stunning, with vast deserts, ancient ruins, snowy mountains, and a beautifully minimalist art style that somehow says so much with so little. Paired with its incredible soundtrack, the game creates a deeply emotional experience without relying on dialogue or text. It is one of those rare games where the music does not just support the gameplay; it is the experience. The pacing is another highlight. Journey moves at a calm, almost meditative rhythm, which made it perfect to unwind after a stressful day. There is no pressure, no urgency; just exploration, discovery, and quiet reflection. It is the kind of game that respects your space and lets you breathe. One of the most memorable aspects for me was encountering other players along the way. Not knowing who they were at first, and only learning their identities at the end, made those shared moments feel surprisingly meaningful. There is something powerful about communicating without words, helping each other through the journey, and then parting ways. It felt genuine and, in a way, very human. If I had to point out a downside, it would be how short the game is. Even though I stretched it out over multiple sessions, there is a part of me that wished it lasted longer. That said, maybe its brevity is part of what makes it so special; it does not overstay its welcome and leaves a lasting impression. Overall, Journey is less of a traditional game and more of an emotional experience. It is simple, elegant, and quietly powerful. Definitely one of those titles that stays with you long after you have finished it.
