Less is most definitely more in this beautifully understated co-op adventure, that dares you to make sense of its enigmatic voyage.

At the end of the campaign, you'll most likely be surprised to find that the one person who hung out with you was really three, or four, or more. What's more surprising was that seeing all the people I'd come into contact with hits me emotionally. I don't know them, but I 'know' them.

‎If you are one of those who did not play it on PS3, you have before you a unique adventure of its kind, of those that without words says it all. And if you have it, thanks to the Cross-Buy you can enjoy it on PS4 without costs and with visual improvements. The remasters like that, YES.‎

Firing up Journey on PS4 is a delight. It's so gorgeous and fluid in 1080p and 60 frames-per-second. Even though that's really the only thing different about it, it's a wonderful experience.

Journey offers us a different vision of the video game that rocks our daily lives. The arrival of the 1080P coupled with the 60FPS works wonders and the support of the Cross-Buy function is a major asset to convince PS3 players. For newcomers to the PlayStation universe, Journey and one of the best games to illustrate the spirit of originality that drives Sony and allows it to give its chance to projects apart.

Journey is masterful. It's meaningful. You won't remember the details of every journey, but every journey is unforgettable. You'll have no choice but to play it again and again.

Journey remains one of the most cohesive titles to grace PlayStation. A sumptuous art style and a stunning soundtrack fuse to create an experience that's flawless from start to finish. Its story never utters a word, yet it has more to say than most scripts, and its handling of social interaction eschews tradition in favour of eye-opening anonymous bonding. Enhanced visuals and a silky smooth framerate made possible courtesy of the PS4's power make this the definitive edition of the release, and put simply, Journey is still one of the greatest games ever made.

It hasn't lost any of its fascination - but only for those who haven't played it yet.

‎In a way, we get rid of our mortal bonds. We discovered that the true meaning is on the path, on the path, and that a goalless journey really... there is never an end to it.‎

Its anecdotes function as mawkish indicators of social status, as the Internet crowd often forgets that being online is a privilege for more than a few.

A tremendous title on PS3, Journey is even better on PS4 thanks to a better resolution, improved frame rate, and sharper textures.
