Journey Reviews
Less is most definitely more in this beautifully understated co-op adventure, that dares you to make sense of its enigmatic voyage.
Three years later, Journey remains one of the most powerful games in recent memory.
Is this just a game? I can feel this game, I can feel this journey in my heart. Great art design and an unforgettable experience.

At the risk of getting a bit too philosophical about this, Journey really is just about the journey itself, not about explanations and hard facts. The game just tosses you into a lovely dream-like experience. This experience you probably won't forget.
Journey is one of the best games-experience ever created, if not the best. Its capacity to transmit so many emotions and feelings has rarely been seen so effectively and forcefully. It is, however, a prerequisite to open your mind and understand that video games can go beyond mere entertainment, sometimes focusing on simply provoking an emotional reaction.

Do not deprive yourself of this unrepeatable experience.

Journey's beauty isn't solely from its art or music, or the experiences crafted by its level designers and programmers. It's the way all of the elements speak to each other, and how it challenges classical game systems to further reinforce its metaphors. Journey was a masterclass in emotional design when it came out. This sharper, crisper version still carries that badge.
Journey is more beautiful than ever thanks to high definition and 60fps: a bewitching and necessary game for anyone who has missed it so far.

New Sony adopters can hail as an indie champion has come to PlayStation 4 while returning Nomads can appreciate the upgraded visual splendor.
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 is, it is the perfect game – of course, if we respect that is the definition that defines the game as a form of execution.

The most beautiful experience of the past generation, now also available to PS4 owners. If you haven't lived your Journey yet, make up for it. If you are already after, then it is worth refreshing. Just like the Little Prince.

Anyway, Journey on PlayStation 4 is undoubtedly the definitive edition of an instant classic. It's not drastically different and there really isn't any new content, but the upgrades included in this package are noticeable and appreciated, and vault the production into the stratosphere. We are moved and impacted; some even say they're forever changed after finishing.
And so in an odd way it makes Journey the best example of Marxist thinking that we've ever seen. The idea that humans, separated from the need or potential for conflict with one another and placed in a truly egalitarian environment in which there can be no class nor discrimination, would be naturally inclined to work together to their mutual benefit is in many ways innocent and naive, but it's a beautiful thought, and just as Journey is a beautiful game, it has a beautiful heart, and that makes the ending (which I won't spoil, even though you really should have experienced it by now), all the more heart wrenching, but ultimately beautiful.
A beautiful, emotional, minimalist journey full of wonder and heartbreak.
A masterfully-crafted, scarf-swaddled allegory. Take the trip.
Journey is a true masterpiece. A sublime poetic experience in which all video game elements combine perfectly to create an unforgettable journey.

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.

Pulling on emotional strings throughout, Journey is every bit the masterpiece on PS4 that it was on PS3. It's an emphatic example of art, sound and design working in complete harmony together, creating a piece of digital art that just begs to be experienced. Journey is nearly flawless, and will remain so until the end of time.
Journey is minimalist to allow you to fill in those gaps with your own emotion and experience — to apply your personal situation and make the story your own. It's a simple beauty, but one that shines brightly and now has the opportunity to be played by millions more thanks to its stunning upgrade to PS4, with beautiful lighting and environments that impress. Whether you've played Journey before, or never had the opportunity, do yourself a favor and make your way to the top of the mountain on PS4. You may find more on the way to the peak than you expected at the outset.
