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.

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.

I'm combing through these comments, which games have done this better?

I am definitely interested.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

With the emphasis that they have done certain elements better: Brothers: A Tale of two sons (Show, Don't Tell) , Dark Souls (silent companion), Shadow of the Colossus (feeling of isolation/scale). I might add some more if I find the time.

Oh I definitely prefer the show Don't tell in journey more, if I'm understanding that category. And I did love Brothers.

I didn't have a silent companion, but comparing by how many people have told me about the silent companions of this game versus a huge thread about dark souls and elden ring I had recently and nobody mentioning a silent companion, I'm going to grain of salt that one.

Are the silent companions in dark souls like elden ring where you summon friends to help you fight?

I do want to play Shadow of the Colossus, but that game kind of beats everyone in terms of scale right?

Isolation? Hm. Interesting.

I really should play shadow of the Colossus.

Is that still Playstation exclusive or is it anywhere else yet?

I believe it is still an exclusive

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Dang. Wasn't that game super popular? I wonder why it still exclusive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I stand corrected - there are versions for other platforms available according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey_(2012_video_game)

Oh haha, my bad, I was talking about Shadow of the Colossus earlier.

I was wondering if that was non-exclusive yet. I'll go check.

Yeah it still exclusive to PlayStation. Bummer
