Well that was absolutely brilliant.

muff03 · 17-12-2012 5:13pm

just spent a few fantastic hours with this game, wow, met up with someone towards the end, made the finish even better.

I keep hovering over it in my games list. I'm definitely overdue another play-through of this special game.

Pretty good deal, more or less two for the price of one

That's a great deal, a definite purchase tonight

I went for that deal in the store.
The demo doesn't do this any justice.

I was pottering around trying to remember the buttons as it continued from where I left off. Some AI character was looking at me, chirping his little sound. Eventually I remembered the two buttons, jump and chirp or omit sound.
Hold on a minute this isn't an AI character.
This was about 11pm so I said I would follow him for a while. In work at 6am the following morning.
He/She showed me some glyph locations and symbols. It is a Linear game to a certain extent but on your first play through it seems a lot vaster.
Played all the way through with them, chirping into the light.
An amazing experience of life achievement and goals.
Was about 1:30am but it was worth it.

Second play though was with a white cloak, struggled to keep up, showed me where the flower was, never would have found it.
Lost them at the final run up the mountain, kept omitting my sound but alas disappeared.

Amazing game, plenty more play throughs around Christmas I'd say !

I bought this deal for €12.99. Have'nt tried journey yet but unfinished swan gave me motion sickness. You are too close to the event. Think of your bedroom and this is the space in events take place. I used it with the PS move but I have to stop playing every half hour to give my head and stomach a rest.

Been getting plenty of awards in the game of the year awarding.

Just started Journey. Didn't accept the T&Cs until the second section, then unaccepted them again since I decided to just complete it myself the first time around and play along with someone next time

Yeah, I accepted to enable online play to do just that, but then once the other person started activating everything before I even started to figure out what to do, I decided I'll do all that myself. Not much sense getting a game if someone else is gonna do everything in it for me.

Damien360 · 23-12-2012 7:57pm

I finished Journey in one sitting last night and it blew me away. It is more of an experience than a game. Stunning. The music alone had me hooked. I played it again this morning and finished it while the kids watched Spongebob Xmas movie and it drew me in again.

I finished Unfinished Swan also last night. It is worth it just for it's ending when he meets the king. Very well told story.

All in all, it was worth the deal on PSN for €12.99

Beefy78 · 27-12-2012 1:24pm

I played through Journey a couple of days before Christmas. I think I'm going to make that a tradition going forward, actually. Anyway, my internet disconnected about a third of the way through the game so I lost my partner and although I reconnected straight away I never got another partner.

It was a different experience going alone but nowhere near as fun.

I'm halfway through Unfinished Swan!! Its a brilliant game though.

Everyone should try and get the Journey Collecters Edition. Its well worth it!

Beekay · 29-12-2012 3:26am

Got the collectors edition for Christmas. Played some on Christmas Day and didn't want to put it down when dinner was ready then got back into it yesterday...absolutely amazing.

Because you don't know the name of the other person it really feels like you are getting through it together as a team, chirping away if you see something or warning them about those flying mechanical monsters. Genuinely felt bad for my friend when he got attacked by one. The section from when it is snowing feels like a real struggle and you feel determined to get to the top.

Was tempted to start playing the game from the beginning right after I finished but decided to give it a few days break before beginning the Journey all over again.

LuckyFinigan · 03-03-2013 8:18pm

Finally played this today. Played through it in on sitting, only took around two hours. Loved the whole thing, definitely going to give it another run through soon. Went through most of the game with a companion but lost them just at the end

. It really does deserve all the praise it got, cant remember the last time I felt like that playing a game.

Zero-Cool · 22-07-2016 6:21pm

Finally got this, Fiver in the digital sale atm, man that was some experience. It said at the end i met 5 companions but only remember 1 at the start and then another who i spent most of the game with and finished with them. Quality stuff altogether. Some amount of screen shots taken.

FrostyJack · 25-07-2016 4:49pm

I must be the only person who wasn't blown away by it, it was good but nothing mind blowning. In contrast I played Firewatch and EGTR recently and thought they were amazing in comparison. I liked the random multiplayer touch though.

A Neurotic · 06-08-2016 9:48pm

Just played this. From what I'd heard I knew it was best to go in as blind as possible and... wow.

I want to track down the companion who climbed the snowy peak at the end with me and give them a hug.

Beautiful game. I know it will stay with me for a while.

Journey
