Actually don't play this if you are mentally unstable, I cried A LOT. Like alot alot. And not even because the game itself is sad but rather because I interpreted alot into what was shown. I don't even think there is one specific plot to get here, you kinda make your own using your own interpretation. Aaaand for me starting with the hill climb it kinda depicted how I imagine suicide to be, with the large white characters depicting Mom(s) looking down upon you, so that led to that reaction. (I'm actually a little embarrassed for this interpretation) On a more neutral note - this was quite the experience. It's beautifully made, doesn't get boring (just maybe a bit tiring where the walk could have been just a little shorter), is short (~90 mins) and kinda explains itself (except for the story as I already touched on). Before the whole crying tirade I was actually really happy; the little flying "birds" felt like they were my friends, boosting each other into the sky. The slides were really fun. The fellow travelers feature was also REALLY cool. Theeeen the jumpscare section with the stupidly loud dragons happened, stealing my scarf (grr) and then the aforementioned hill climb. This was seriously a rollercoaster of emotions. I'd honestly recommend you to experience this little game (buy on sale). Just please be a bit more emotionally stable.

I Thought I was going to be alone.... I was wrong I decided to play journey, I had already played the first 5 minutes months ago and decided I was going to sit down from the start and finish the game. I had no idea that there was other players with me until I ran into them, Even though we could only communicate through a little music note it felt nice to have another stranger, a random connection to another person. It was truly unexpected, I loved it it. Thank you random people who i played with, I hope you all live long and fulfilling lives.

First journey - I didn't know what I was doing, but was headstrong enough to continue pushing through. I met someone and we bonded over the challenges we shared. Second journey - I knew what was about to happen, I knew it was okay - so I took my time. I meditated on the beauty around me, I kept on taking breaks in the middle of nowhere, just to enjoy the scenery and the beauty of the moment. That made my first companion push forward without me, which led to me learning that you could meet different people along your journey, during the different levels - just like in life. Third journey - right before that, I found out what happened when I collect all the symbols and so I was on a mission to do just that. I remember that nothing was more important than the symbols - I collected all of them and that was the worst journey I've ever experienced. I made this experience into a checklist of places I need to visit and shiny things to collect. I didn't care about the companions I crossed paths with and finished lonely, empty, with the biggest scarf I've ever had. Just like in life. Fourth Journey - with my newfound abilities and appearance, I went ahead and experienced the game from a different level. Thing is, I did it alone. I didn't meet anyone on the way. My fourth journey was the first journey I took by myself, all the way through. I found that it was still awesome, but it was better when I had a companion. Fifth Journey - I put on my previous clothing and went out, searching for companions. I found one, but his playing style was different than mine. I tried, but ultimately I learnt that I can't be needy to avoid being alone, if that means being in bad company. Just like in life. Sixth journey - I was with my regular clothing, I decided to go in to just meditate. Then a new player found me and was mesmerized by the embroidery on my robe. We started chipring. I showed him what I know, all the glyphs, symbols, creatures etc etc, I experienced the game again, from his eyes. It was awesome! I kept on doing that for the next 2-3 journeys. 9th journey - I got in with my fancy clothing. I went in there with the idea of just, finding beautiful spots in each level, where I could meditate. I went climbing where I never thought I could climb. I found views I never thought existed. I was alone, but was not lonely. I had an incredible time, from the time I entered, to the last level. I kept on doing that for the next 2-3 journeys. Now, I go in there to either meditate in the awesome spots I've found, to guide new fresh players on how to get through different levels, or going there with a buddy of mine, who shows me glitches and stuff. I love journey. It's basically the ascension process of a soul, but on a different planet. The soundtrack, the ambience - this might be my favorite game. : )

At 3 am, curiosity led me to try a new game. Initially, it felt slow and uninspiring at first. Then, unexpectedly, another player appeared. I assumed it was an NPC, moving alongside me. But there was something different. This "NPC" wasn't behaving predictably. Puzzled, I wondered if it could be a real player. Yet, I hadn't logged into any account, nor chosen a multiplayer mode. Perplexed, I continued. Unfortunately , in an underground level, we lost contact, making me question if it was just an NPC after all. Emerging from the tunnel, a player greeted me and it surprised me. This time the signs were clear: I was not alone. Overjoyed by seeing each other , we sang for a few seconds together and continued our journey. We journeyed together, sharing the path and its wonders, reaching the end side by side. Having been without friends for years, this unexpected companionship brought a warmth I hadn't felt in a long time. The beautiful scenery of our final journey, experienced with another soul, moved me to tears of joy. After i finished the game i searched online, and confirmed this game is indeed multiplayer, but unlike any other. It's a rare gem, a beautiful blend of solitude and connection, bringing strangers together in an unforgettable way.

I can't review this. I just can't. I could do it with Gris. I could do it with The Pathless. I can't do it with Journey. I cannot review this game as a game, and I don't think I can review it as a piece of art. This is not something to be completed. It is something to be experienced. It is the single most beautiful game I have played so far, not because of the graphics, or the gameplay, but because of the way it made me feel. The pure wonder and childlike happiness as a cloth creature fluttered out of it's cage. The awkward giggly feeling of saying a single word, over and over again. The joy of learning how to help my companion. The sadness of losing them, twice. The loneliness of watching my scarf deplete, not having a friend to help. The elation of seeing a little fuzzy blob appear on the side of my screen, telling me a friend was nearby. The frantic rush as we both called out for each other and trying to find out where we were. The security, knowing a fellow traveler was by my side as my movement slowed. The joy of getting to the end with someone else by my side. You cannot review that, rate that on a scale of one to ten. It's called Journey, and man, does it live up to it's name. Play it.
