Journey

I played this once, beat it and never returned because I don't think anything will be able to beat that experience. This was one of the most emotional multiplayer experiences I've ever had. The way the visuals, music, gameplau and anonymity of the multiplayer mesh together is so seemless and unique that I urge everybody to play it without reading about it. It's an event.

Journey isn't a video game. It's a two hour interactive experience that uses some of the basic mechanics of video games to control progression. If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, Journey is definitely worth playing. Personally I didn't have the same emotional experience as many others did while playing (not going to discuss potential spoilers) but I can appreciate the intent of the developer and they were largely successful in what they set out to achieve.

Incredibly short game. It's a very beautiful game, with nice music, but there really isn't much here. That being said, I was surprised to find a couple players playing the game at the same time I was, 12 years later.

A cliché hero's journey story, vaguely post-apocalyptic, with nothing much to say. I guess I should've played it on multiplayer because it felt slow and pointless when I played it offline; I hear it's an empathy box of sorts.

Straining the definition of game, but a great experience.

it had some great moments. like flying and shit. some annoying

A totally unique experience I don't think I, nor anyone else, will ever experience again. Just thinking about this game makes me tear up a little.

I'd probably have more fun with someone choking me with that scarf.

I could complain about how plain the gameplay is and how little actually goes on. However, I remember every detail of this little game like I played it yesterday. This showcases how video games can be genuine art because, while as a piece of software there is nothing spectacular about it, the emotional impact is a transcendent experience.

All you do in Journey is walk and flutter amongst beautiful environments for two hours. I felt closer with my anonymous partners trekking through the unknown lands than I have with my friends of years playing Halo, and I'll never know their names, but we helped each other; we cared for each other's success. We felt the need to simultaneously lead and follow each other. And by the end - God, by the end. This is by far my favorite game of its generation.
