It is truly a beautifully made game that deserves the recognition given to it. Well done.

@34 LMAO at a guy who comes to a blog about a game he doesn’t understand… just to talk trash about the game which just won so many game of the year awards and BEST PS3 game awards. Maybe when you’ve experienced more of life you’ll understand Journey a little more. Here’s a hint in the right direction though…… it’s a game about LIFE and the J O U R N E Y of LIFE…. not a game about “walking in a desert” … open your mind, heart and have at least a little imagination or you will never understand the best pieces of art.

Certainly not a game in the typical sense, but then what Great Work of Art ever met the criteria for “typical”? We’ll need to see how time treats it, but it’s already earned a special place in my heart next to Shadow of the Colossus and Portal. Game of the Year, at MINIMUM.

@ 4 Ryumoau

You are in the minority alright. Of trolls that is. Every post of any PS Blog story, you are nothing, but negative with your comments! Get a grip already dude and grow up!

@36 You have to get all the symbols or runes in order to get the white cloak. In regards to the game though, man I don’t even know where to begin. I mean, it truly moved me due to the ascetics, the story, and the soundtrack. Like many of the people commenting here I felt myself near tears by the end. I think the best way to sum up this game was eloquently put by this article I read about the game which states that it pretty much focuses on the stages of the character’s life and the companions he or she meets along the way. God, it just blows me away that this game could win a Grammy. :’)

Journey nearly broke me into tears. I hadn’t read the trophy list (I try to go in blind), so by the final stretch of the game, I had fallen behind, only to find, at the end of this celebration of LIVING, my partner was waiting for me.

The multiplayer in a game brought me to emotional tears. The more I considered that, the closer I came to streaming.

Bought it early from PS+, figured I’d boot it up, just to get it in my trophy list, but, sitting there in my full work getup (including long-johns), played through the whole think. Completely worth it. Major success!

I played with someone who had a white coat. How did they do that? Anyway, I’ve played through this game 3 times. It is the most serene gaming experience I’ve ever had.

I thought Journey was an awesome experience, i’m not sure how much of a game it really was (it was basically just jumping) but the emotion in the game had my eyes watering up in parts, its that strong!

Definitely they deserve all the accolades they’ve been awarded or nominated for!

I hope this group decides to do more games soon!
