The first time I played this game I had no idea the others were actual players. Me and one other player stuck together through the majority of the game then when the credits rolled and saw they were actual players I was overcome with this deep sense of connection to this person I will never meet in person. I was absolutely floored. Such a beautiful game.

[@mushymush6902]

My aunt gifted me this game, christmas 2019. I didn't get around to playing it until New Year's Eve. I didn't plan it, but I ended up completing it right at midnight when everyone was celebrating outside and setting off fireworks and shit. It was really an insane, ethereal moment for me.

[@limner123]

That’s lovely

[@flingstone1510]

That sounds like a really special and memorable moment! It's always exciting to start a new game, and even more so when you can complete it in one sitting. It's great that you were able to have this experience on such a special night, surrounded by the celebration of the new year. Playing video games can be a great way to relax and escape from the stresses of everyday life, and it sounds like you were able to have a really immersive and enjoyable experience. I hope you have many more memorable gaming moments in the future!

[@crazcatladeestudios9956]

I can see so much of what TGC took forward to sky. The way you slowly gain he ability to fly for longer, the way you slide in the sand, the fact that the game is so peaceful and beautiful despite being the aftermath of destruction, the music, the way your character calls, how the little scarf pieces are like the butterflies, the mountain that looks like Eden, I see a lot of associations and it's all so lovely.

[@SmollLassTabby]

Never seeing journey it was quite a surprise too see all the similarities between the two games

[@TurtleTime26]

I like to think of Sky as a slightly more accessible version of Journey whose vision was more fleshed out.

[@crazcatladeestudios9956]

@@TurtleTime26 yeah, I think in a way Journey walked so that Sky could run. The reason Sky can be such a well made game is because they started with Journey, an already wonderful game, and then they found ways to improve it.

[@YaBoiBoris]

I know this isnt really related to comparisons, but I just thought it'd be fun to put here: I think one of my favourite bits of Sky's development which just went to show how TGC really did want to make it artistic is that each area is based after a time of day/weather condition. Obviously Isle of Dawn is Dawn, and Daylight Prairie is the morning, but actually Hidden Forest I believe is meant to be mid-day or rain, Valley of Triumph is Sunset, Golden Wasteland is evening, and Vault of Knowledge is Night or Mid-night. And then Eye of Eden is just simply "Storm"

I remember the first time I played this game. I had no clue the white robed little character I met during the cloth bridge part wasn't part of the game. I kept wondering off and they'd sing to me to get me back on track. At the end when I got the trophy and it showed the person in the credits I actually cried. I was having this experience with a stranger and didn't even know. It was a truly unique feeling

[@iqwikiman2618]

Same happened to me. I think you have to complete the game in its entirety to get the white robe (like achievements, getting all the scarf sparkly things, finding all the easter eggs etc)

[@ethribin4188]

This. This is the true magic of Journey.

[@jane.0f.all.trades28]

Me too! My first time I traveled with the same person for the entire last part of the game, and didn't realize at first that they were actually another player. We stuck together, even when I died and was SO happy when I got back and found they'd waited for me. And there was something really powerful about that experience with a stranger that's hard to describe - I cried too :)

I hate sky, I played back in the beta testing I was so angry that instead of creating something new they just copied Journey. Abzu did way better job capturing the feeling and experience of Journey but with its own story and creativity.

[@Nitrinoxus]

Even with the improvements, too, the heart of the game feels unchanged -- it's still the same serene, often meditative experience, just with the addition of more than a single stranger that you share the journey with. Anyone who's played _Journey_ will feel right at home in _Sky._

I will never forget my first playthrough of this game. Meeting another person was the most magical thing ever. No nametag, no indication that it's another player. We just met each other and went through the journey together. Love this game.

[@trevorwgratton3354]

It didn't happen to me often, and usually, I can take or leave the multiplayer experience, but it was truly magical to meet another player in-game. I remember getting to the end with one player, and we just stood there gazing at this beam if light in just awe and trepidation, sharing this moment together, unable to exchange a single word together. I'm not much of a gamer, but there are some moments that'll stay with one forever; for me, that was one.

[@roborat]

I never knew you could meet people

[@NeytiriPhoenix]

One time I met another player near the end of the game and they kept trying to get my attention to follow them. I was just messing around at the time but decided to follow them and we finished the game together. The guy afterwards messaged me to say thanks as he'd been trying to get the achievement of finishing the game with another player for a while and finally I was the one who did. It was just such a wholesome experience to have together. We didn't speak again after that but that one interaction was more than enough to make me love what this game created.

[@silversamurai0267]

Couple tips and tricks if you want them: *That beginning area is a hub. The platform Jack landed on with one glowing glyph and a bunch of unilluminated glyphs is to show how many scarf extending glyphs there are to find. The more you find, the more the platform is illuminated. *At the end of each level, when you sit down in front of the statue, look below the statue. Akin to the platform, there will be a few spots where glyphs can glow. This represents how many there are to find in the specific level you're in. If you've missed any, you can either go back and explore some more or use the hub to start a level over. (Most useful for the sand sliding parts.) *In the vast dune level, the scarf buddies you free will actually guide you. Pay close attention and they'll lead you to other scarf buddies, glyphs and secrets. *You can track where your companion is by paying attention to the edges of your screen. Depending on which direction your companion is, that direction's edge will subtlety glow. *Don't fly too far away from a companion, unless you want them to disappear from your game. *If your companion sits to meditate, sit with them for a while. They might be trying to tell you to wait while they do something IRL, or their remote might have died. They could also just want to sit with you. ;D *Calling in the vicinity of a companion will refill their scarf a little bit. And standing close to each other will refill both scarves. Work together to make flight time last longer. (Also, you definitely CAN climb the tower without activating any of the murals. It's best to try it with a white robe, but you can also do it if you have a companion that works well with you.)

[@Nitrinoxus]

It's funny, but for a game with no direct methods of communication between the randomly-matchmade players, there's almost a kind of sign language that _Journey_ players use to 'talk' to each other -- I've played the game on and off for years now, and I regularly see similar patterns of calls and movements to signal different requests or alerts.

Looking at Journey and playing Sky: Children of the Light really gives it a side by side perspective and truly gave a path to how Sky looks nowadays of course with more players and you get to play with friends/ strangers but the mechanic on unlocking, flying, the honking is very similar. Both are UTTERLY STUNNING in their unique ways. I want to see Sean playing Sky just for fun as well❤️

Journey is an analogy for life's journey, it's very spiritual and Buddhist-themed. No matter who we are we live, experience emotions, hardships and death, rebith. The ending song "I Was Born For This" is the only thing with words, the lyrics are sourced from quotes and poetry throughout human history (The Aenid, The Iliad, Joan of Arc, Beowulf) and is sung in a total of 6 languages. This song describes the message of Journey entirely. The composer Austin Wintory has the song and translated lyrics on his channel.

Making your journey to your version of heaven. The "lint" being memories of the life you had. The bad guys signifying the struggles. The glowing orbs, key memories. And at the end when you are this shooting star, you finally completed your journey through purgatory and get sent back to help others find their way. I always like helping people.

Just desided to check if that ”Jack” had done previously anything since I’ve watched all recent of Jack’s videos at the time and picked Journey … I ended up to watch the entire serie at one go. Afterwards I felt good and happy. I got up from my bed to the sunny summer day and spend one of the best days of that summer outside 😀 Thanks for this Jack! You made my day… Again!!! 👍❤️

[@grapesbrained]

Okay, I saw this video, watched like 5 minutes of it and decided that I’ll play the game myself first. Apparently that wasn’t an npc I met, but an actual player! They guided me through almost the whole game. I’m new to video games, so thank you Sean for opening my eyes to such an amazing game.

[@ashlazdanovich8396]

If you want to try a new game, I’d 💯% recommend Sky: Children Of The Light. It’s been noted to be like the successor of Journey and I’d say it’s much more than that. Plus, till January 2nd, you can virtually attend a concert once every 4 hours. And it’s an amazing experience. But aside from that, just going through the game from start to the credits, is absolutely amazing and worth a play through in of itself. It’s all an incredible experience that would be amazing to watch you go through. (^ ^)

When I played Journey for the first time, I played it most of the way through with the same player who was also playing for the first time (judging by their cloak and behaviour) I actually cried when I saw them again after the snow area and we were just happily singing to each other that we weren't separated. It was such an amazing experience I shared with someone I know nothing about.

[@aquaticnerd5854]

In the beginnings of my relationship with my boyfriend he wanted to play this game together. We did meet someone else along the way. It really was one of those perspective changing games, had me sitting there staring at the screen and thinking. Then thinking hours before sleeping that night. At that point in my life it really felt like a warm shelter in the middle of a massive snowy mountain wasteland. One I think back to fondly every once in awhile.

[@The4FamilyGamers]

As someone who has only played the developer's other game, Sky: Children of the Light, I can tell how much it was inspired by this game. That's so cool! I've always wanted to play Journey but never had the chance yet.

Journey was how I found Seán's channel, interestingly enough. This entire video was the biggest nostalgia trip for me, and I loved every second. Journey, ABZU, Sky: Children of the Light, they all have such a calming and resonating feel to them. Even in the somewhat darker, scarier moments, there is this beautiful sense of struggle and hope. Journey is to me what Shadow of the Colossus is for Seán, so seeing this video pop up and curling up with a blanket, I knew I was going to cry, and cry I did. Thank you Seán, for giving us this gift and letting us join you on your journey.

this game completely changed my perception of video games too. the mechanic of cooperating with anonymous people along your journey and only communicating with the pressing of a single button truly made me realize the potential of video games in connecting people. it's like one of those little moments of connection with a stranger that you will never meet again but will remember always. journey is a beautiful game.

[@DoctorWhoFanatic09]

I remember the first introduction I had to Journey was in an English class, and my teacher used it to explain the hero's journey (brought his PlayStation in and everything to show us a bit of the mountain level). I was so taken in its simplicity. I now have it and will often play through it (sometimes back-to-back) to unwind and experience it - the visuals, the music, the chance meetings (there's nothing more wholesome than seeing how excited people get when you cross paths with them sometimes, especially when you unlock the white robe). I always recommend it to people, especially since the controls are so minimalist so it's easy for people who may not have much gaming experience. Truly a beautiful game.

[@SecretNinjaPounce]

My best friend and I cosplay as travellers from this game at conventions sometimes, we love seeing people getting excited about it.

I’ve played Sky for three years now, and although I’ve always known about Journey I’ve never seen it until now. It is incredible for it’s time. Seeing how Journey paved the way for Sky makes me filled with all sorts of happiness and wonder. Sky is far from a perfect game, but I don’t mind that. I’ve seen people theorize that Sky and Journey take place in the same world, and I can totally see that now! There’s a special kind of joy I feel seeing a game that is so similar to one I love so dearly.

This game meant so much to me in middle school. Those were probably some of the hardest years of my life and Journey is just… comforting. It’s beautiful and simple yet endlessly complex. The art style and universe it built has always been something I’ve been fascinated by since experiencing it. It brings to mind monument valley (like Sean said) and some other puzzle game on mobile that I can’t remember the name of - but when there is this lost civilization with beautiful architecture and art and music… it makes something in my soul sing, something ancient and nostalgic that has seen the fall of humanity and watched it rise again. Oh, to be human. To be alive and part of something so miraculous.

[@kannraorhara]

You'll probably like Sky: Children of the Light, then. It has quite a few of the same themes, and is the spiritual successor to this game. If you buy the starter pack on Playstation, then you'll get some Journey cosmetics. Not a requirement in the slightest as the game itself is free, and the pack won't give you any special access. Just fun cosmetics.

I think what makes it even more special is that you can't actually talk to them, and if you meet several while playing, you can never really be sure who you were with at any one time, so you get to share a wonderful experience with someone you may never meet again, and that's a wonderful analogy of life as well.

My husband and I met in college as performing arts scholarship folks. I actually have a counseling degree, but I have and always will love reading and theatre and music as well. My husband loved theatre too, but he also has a degree in computer science. I loved written story, he loved voice acting and the way video games involved the “listener” in their story. I didn’t entirely understand so years ago this (and abzu) were the first games he shared with me. The score, the story, the art - it all moved me. I still remember it so fondly. Fast forward to 2022, and In January of this year I lost my dad. I’m in my 20s so I never imagined I would lose him so soon but it hit me hard and has shaped a lot of this year. I finished my masters degree, we found new jobs, we bought our first home. I spent so much of my year feeling twisted inside because I couldn’t share these things with my dad. Last week I tested positive with Covid and as a result we spent our holiday alone and in quarantine, which compounded the feelings of loss that was experiencing this time of year without my dad. Today was my first day back to work and I got home from working my twelve hour shift, absolutely exhausted, saw you posted a video, and popped it on without really paying attention to what it was… Thank you for helping me to mourn and find closure this holiday season lol. The story of this game is emotional anyway but this year especially it’s hitting me. Whether we’re salmon or not (lol), seeing this today brought me a lot of peace.
