What
is there to say about Journey?
Sometimes a game comes along that does more than just raise pulses.
While plenty of games can excite and have players mainline adrenaline with
bombastic set-pieces and summer movie production values, few games
try for other feelings. Many games are all about the cinema
experience and aping movies. Games exist that cover the science
fiction genre, the pulp action genre, the noir genre. There are not
any that aim to reproduce poetry or the Zen-like calm of mediation.
Auteur gaming studio thatgamecompany has always broken away from
convention. While they have only created three titles, each has
brought the company closer to creating “art” than “games.”
Journey, their third
title, pushes buttons gamers may not realize that they have. Journey
is something more than mere “game.”
