Journey

ThatGameCompany - 2012 - PS3

Okay, I totally didn't understand this game. At all. This game gets a lot of recognition in the indie game scene for being a case for “games as art” and its won all sorts of awards and what not. I love games with atypical gameplay or games that try to do something completely new or unique. This game definitely does that but… but I don’t get it.

I don’t understand why this game gets the love that it does. Maybe I need to do another playthrough, I feel like I must've missed something. It’s a pretty short game, I finished it in one sitting. You just kind of navigate through the environment really. That’s about it. Sometimes other random players will join your game from online. But they don’t seem to contribute to the gameplay or progress the game in any way that I could tell. I get that the music sets the mood of the game really well, but video games do that all the time.

Summary:
I don’t know; this game was very baffling and disappointing to me
