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.

    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. :)
