Journey

Journey is one of those games that is difficult to describe. It is part game, part experience, part art but it all adds up to a unique mix that calls to you to be played through. Journey has no dialogue, no complicated systems, and barely any explanation of what’s happening. You simply explore, make discoveries, and make your way through this beautiful world and wonder what is even going on. A huge part of the game is really just “drifting” through it and enjoying the music, world and how everything just flows together. Another memorable part is meeting other players along the way. You can’t talk to them or even properly communicate beyond a few simple sounds. At first, I assumed they were NPC’s. Yet somehow, you can still form this strange little connection as you travel, jump around together and make sounds, which turned out to be really different for each player I met, so they felt like individuals’ still, like if we actually had talked. The game is short, simple in mechanics, stunningly beautiful, and incredibly atmospheric. If you can I recommend playing through it on go, it will probably take you around 2 hours the first time. If you’re looking for something different from the usual, Journey is absolutely worth experiencing, it is a gem in the ocean of games that release nowadays and a gem that should be picked up and not ignored.

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] You can view my VR mod gameplay here: https://youtu.be/UZQxigNpp-I Yes, you can now play Journey in VR with the latest FREE VR mod (search for it on Github). Journey VR has full VR gameplay with head tracking; terrain, culling and shadows follow your head. Motion controllers work as a gamepad. It is currently only 3rd person. VR mod is in an alpha stage, so changes may be made in the future, including the often requested 1st person mode. We shall see. The game looks & runs great. Works well in online co-op. Please note that you must use Steam VR as OpenXR runtime. [quote]I bought this game!
