Journey (2012)
December 25, 2012•100 words
Journey is beautiful to look at, listen to, and play. It’s peaceful, melancholic, joyous, and comforting.
Journey‘s multiplayer is the best. Make the trek with a stranger you might randomly encounter, or go it alone — either is fine. And seamless! And free of negativity since there’s no voice chat, just the sing-songy chirping of a button press, conveying… something… that someone else will, hopefully, interpret.
Journey gives one a sense that there’s something greater, either “out there” or “among us,” but it never aims to make one feel (completely) insignificant.
Journey is perfect, and I might have cried at the end.
