Review of Journey

Journey (2012 Video Game)
9/10
A Great Portayal Of Raw Emotions
17 June 2023
When I started to play this game I was not expecting anything. I was playing it because its short and it has great visuals. But I still thought it had potential. At the beggining, I just played it and I guess I just enjoyed discovering and exploring the games mechanics. But after about 30 minutes, I started feeling a bit bored and I was starting to think this game was extremely overrated. But I have to say that when it ended, I totally understood why people were talking good things about it. The gameplay is the most boring I've ever encountered in my video game playing journey. The story is absent of even the most insignificant plot. Then why is this game good? Its because of the raw portayal of emotions. I think this is a very rare thing to see but the raw emotions overthrown the absence of any plot, words or gameplay. I think its an achievement in himself to make a video game with all those negative points but still make it good. I think this is the type of thing that is an experience rather than being the usual video game with a story. Considering the lenght of this game, I'd say its infinitly worth playing. If you can spare an hour and you don't know what to do, well this is definitly a good idea. Its hard for me to describe this game for what it is, the title does it better than I do. I guess its just a Journey...
