Journey is fantastic, a short experience from 2012? can't believe it's that old, it looks impressive and it felt good for a 2012 title. It's worth the shot, in some video games you don't need high difficulty or endless dialogues to enjoy it, the simplistic formula can be applied anywhere if you know how to build it.

Gameplay
This game offers beautiful graphics and unique places. You start to be around level 0 in a desert but you will fight even in the underground to get up again, this game has some parkour elements but they are easy. By the help of the red carpets you can climb and fly, the change of pace is interesting and that's what makes this game unique, again it takes about 2 hours to finish this game or 1h30 because this game does not need more content and it's perfect on how it is.

Story
The story is driven by gameplay mechanics and visual cutscenes, you start in the desert reaching far to see the mountain you need to climb up, there's a a lighting in the top and so you take the journey from the dune and then to the depths and back to the surface in the winter only to reach your destination. In the game you will be chased by a monster that you meet in the half percentage of the game, personally the story gave the lesson on never giving up because at some point you are dying of freezing but some creatures that are at your side help you fly, yet again your identity is hidden and the only things that help you are red carpets, and you are one as well. Some people may say that this game is death stranding but it's not.

Conclusion
It's worth to play it and finish it in one day, but you gotta be in the mood for this one. When you feel tired and want something to relax yourself reach out to this game, it will be amazing.
