I feel like that game literally changed my life in the 2 hours or whatever it took me to play it.
That game is so beautiful. It made me a better person.
I was absolutely entranced.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Journey is my favorite game, hands down. It was even more magical in the years after its release and there were still a bunch of active players. Did you encounter any others on their journey in your game?
No! I didn't even know that was a thing.
Truly unique experience, I'm still reeling from being in that world and following that story.
Some review mentioned that if you could distill a video game into pure poetry, journey would be it.
That's what got me to check it out, and goddam were they right.
Yeah, my first playthrough, I thought it was just NPCs chirping around me, but it turned out that they were real people! As players got more scarce, it was truly a special experience finding someone and going through parts of the game with them. I remember I encountered someone a few levels in and we somehow ended up together until we crawled up the snowy mountain, trying to keep each other from freezing. Not a single word spoken, yet this game has such powerful messaging.
I hope you get the opportunity to encounter your own Journey companion on a playthrough. :)
That sounds amazing, what a beautiful experience.
Me too!!! I still play through it once a year or so and listen to the soundtrack all the time. My favorite game of all time; one of my favorite pieces of art of all time. Guess I’m due for another round!
