I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much whilst playing a videogame in my entire life.

Extremely short. That’s the only “issue” I can think of about Journey, and I put it in quotes since I still think it’s length was perfect. Playing it in one sitting almost felt like watching a movie, but being able to interact with the environment is what makes this and the videogame medium as a whole special and unmatched in the way feelings are conveyed to the player.

One of the most moving experiences I think someone can have in front of a TV or a monitor. Devoid of any trace of dialogue. Just a pure flow of feelings. Is it the best game I’ve ever played? No. But more than deserves the five star rating.
