Journey

officialplaystationmagazine.co.uk review
It’s one of the few games you’ll genuinely reflect on after completion, and an object lesson in how less can be more when it comes to crafting narrative and eliciting investment. This is a game about which I would change nothing, and I can’t remember having said that too many times before.

To say that Journey isn’t unique would be a complete lie, the game offers a completely different experience for each type of player. The solo player can explore and take their time with the game, whereas a group of players can tackle the game together, there is something special about this simple format of play. ThatGameCompany is following in the footsteps of Naughty Dog by creating some of the most impressive sand and terrain effects I have seen in a game, and certainly the best I have seen in a downloadable title. Journey is the Fantasia of the gaming world, it is bright, it is fun and overall it is an experience not to be missed.

VERDICT: Is Journey for everybody? Maybe not. However, critics of the studio’s previous efforts will find it more appealing as it’s one of their more “gamey” works. Journey, at its core is something that everyone should play. It is an experience like no other, and it is worthy of the word “experience”. The wonderful lighting, the fantastic sound cues, simple gameplay and the unrelenting beauty only add to the fairytale. All of these things are the reasons why Journey is one of the best games you’ll play all year, if not your entire life.

Journey is ThatGameCompany’s finest achievement. The gameplay is gripping, the premise (or lack of it) is incredibly exciting and the dazzling spectacle of the world around you gives you a genuine sense of wonder and joy. A truly fantastic example of interactive entertainment, and a title that every gamer worth their salt needs to play.

Allegory and metaphors in games of this ilk are mostly, intentionally or not, subjective, but Journey for me is simple and defined without any ambiguity: we all have a simple beginning and a simpler end and are – as the nondescript, universal cloak the character wears throughout demonstrate – all created equal. It’s who we meet and what we do along the way with those people that matters above anything else.
