About Journey

The pioneers that brought you the award-winning PlayStation Network titles flOw & Flower are back with another title that challenges traditional gaming conventions. With Journey, thatgamecompany (TGC) continues its tradition of delivering simple gameplay and accessible controls in a rich interactive environment that invites players to explore and experience emotional chords that are still uncommon in videogames. An exotic adventure with a more serious tone, Journey presents a unique vision of an online adventure experience. Awakening in an unknown world, the player walks, glides, and flies through a vast and awe-inspiring landscape, while discovering the history of an ancient, mysterious civilization along the way. Journey's innovative approach to online play encourages players to explore this environment with strangers who cross their path from time to time. By traveling together, they can re-shape the experience -- creating authentic moments they will remember and discuss with others.

Summary

A great package with one brilliant game and two half-decent ones. The added extras bulk up the package nicely.

We like

  • Journey is a lot of fn and one of the best platfomers of recent times
  • The added extras are well thought out and the commentary insightful.

We dislike

  • Flower is the weakest game of the bunch
  • flOw's journey is over before it starts

Developed by thatgamecompany, Journey casts...
