If you’re looking for a similar type of game, I played GRIS recently which reminded me quite a bit of this.

Varyk,

Nice, much appreciated

oxideseven,

Gris hooked me much more than Journey.

Gris broke me lol. It was so beautiful, so emotional.

I’m sad that they had to monetize sky the way they did to keep the service up. It’s clearly what they wanted out of journey but couldn’t accomplish the first go. If you like journey, play sky, children of the light

Varyk,

Cool, thanks I will.

ch00f,

Oh man! I didn’t know this game was on PC! Has been on my must-play list for years, but it was a PlayStation exclusive.

Varyk,

Board that Steam train.

Choo choo!

Wasn’t Abzu made by the same studio? Also very chill game

Not the same studio, but same director and music composer

My sister plays the game a lot.

She’s earned the white robe, and plays regularly to show other players around, and draw them hearts in the sand/snow.

yum,

That’s really adorable, thanks for sharing!

Varyk,

Very cool. Thanks

Journey is my favorite game, hands down. It was even more magical in the years after its release and there were still a bunch of active players. Did you encounter any others on their journey in your game?

Varyk,

No! I didn’t even know that was a thing.

Truly unique experience, I’m still reeling from being in that world and following that story.

Some review mentioned that if you could distill a video game into pure poetry, journey would be it.

That’s what got me to check it out, and goddam were they right.

Yeah, my first playthrough, I thought it was just NPCs chirping around me, but it turned out that they were real people! As players got more scarce, it was truly a special experience finding someone and going through parts of the game with them. I remember I encountered someone a few levels in and we somehow ended up together until we crawled up the snowy mountain, trying to keep each other from freezing. Not a single word spoken, yet this game has such powerful messaging.

I hope you get the opportunity to encounter your own Journey companion on a playthrough. :)

Varyk,

That sounds amazing, what a beautiful experience.

cleanandsunny,

Me too!!! I still play through it once a year or so and listen to the soundtrack all the time. My favorite game of all time; one of my favorite pieces of art of all time. Guess I’m due for another round!
