Journey

Post » Tue Jul 10, 2012 12:06 am

I know many people on here have played Journey on the PS3. I just purchased Journey today and for $15 it's a great game. Great doesn't even come close to describing it. It is beautiful and full of emotion.

The ending can be interpreted many ways, which is the point the developers were making I guess. The ending of Journey really got me thinking about human life and spirituality. There is no dialogue, menu or indicators representing, anything.

Many people will interpret this game based on their values and beliefs. But there is a core message, which is that we all have to venture through life and inevitably, we will pass away.

Starting off the atmosphere is quite lonely, but when I ran across another player and realized his scarf was much longer than mine (the scarfs are basically a meter for how long you can levitate/glide through the air, glowing orbs can be found throughout the game and they increase the scarf size) and I partnered up with him or her.

Journey evoked a lot of different thoughts and emotions in me, and took me away from what I call life for a good 2 hours.

Who else has played Journey and what was your interpretation on it?

What's really cool about the co-op is you don't have a choice to turn it on or off. Plus, you don't know who the person playing beside you is because you don't get their gamertag or PSN name. No typing or talking either. You can only communicate in a bird like sound, it's alien and mystical.
