    All things considered, Journey is a wonderful game that will keep you immersed in its world from the get-go. It truly is a work of art, and everyone should experience it at least once. One thing that is also worth mentioning is that currently, Journey costs 4.99 USD, which is pretty decent bang for your buck considering the fact that your first playthrough will take approximately three hours. When you factor in that Journey has an amazing replay-value, it is definitely worth buying. All in all, try it out, you certainly won’t regret it.

    I’m not sure Journey is best experienced on mobile, but it’s still a fantastic game. If this is the only way you would play it, you should definitely do so. The compromise in bringing Journey to the App Store didn’t significantly impact my enjoyment of it. All of the most important stuff is still there, and that’s worth celebrating.

    Overall, Journey on iOS is a must play if you’ve never played it before. Hopefully the few issues like the audio bugs on older devices and camera controls are addressed in a future update. The lack of controller support is pretty baffling considering this is originally a console game and I hope proper controller support is added at least when iOS 13 ships.

    I played Journey a number of times when it was released on PS3. I even watched others play. And it was no less engaging to see how such a seemingly straightforward adventure always felt different, with every playthrough. Playing again on the PS4 was, is, and continues to be just as remarkable as it was three years ago. Oh, and if you purchased it on the PS3, you now own it on the PS4. Hazaa!

    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.

    With strong environmental storytelling, powerful music, and an emotional ending, it is absolutely a classic of the modern adventure genre. If you missed it on PS3, do yourself a favor and experience it on PS4. If you did play on PS3, you now own it on PS4, so this minimal graphical update is an excellent excuse to revisit it.

    A Wonderful Journey

    This is one of the shortest, but most satisfying games out there. I think this is way too underrated. How I wish more people can experience playing this. The gameplay is simple, yet the environment and soundtrack are what make this special in many different ways.

    Journey

    Masterful piece of art. Touching, inspiring and almost religious experience, all without a single word spoken. The ambient soundtrack is one of the best stuff in gaming history.
