Well said

[@LydiaKrow]

The person who introduced me to this game did so without telling me what to expect, so when I met another person in the game I thought it was an NPC! We danced, hid from the monsters together, kept each other alive in the sandstorm, and they showed me things I wouldn't have found otherwise. I grew dependent on them, missed them when we were separated, danced in circles and chriped to each other when we reunited, and cried when we died together after such a long walk. It was a cathartic experience, and I gave a lot more of myself than I would have if I would have known it was another person, but when I found out it was a human I was with, I was so moved. I still think about it when things get really dark and I don't want to continue anymore. I think about that person and their amazing soul, and I can go on. Amazing that this can happen because of a game.

[@susannecoolkidsgerman7989]

So true! I love to read all the beautiful comments and yours is just as beautiful! Who would have thought that a game can do such things with us?! I would love to meet the people who created it! Have the same fun and feeling when you play it again! xoxo

I've never played it, but s a m e

[@NBvagabond]

i traveled almost the whole game with a stranger that, really, i became friends with. we would often stop and wait for each other, 'call out' to each other, and make sure we were both safe. at the end, just before we went into the light, we stopped, and drew hearts in the sand for each other. ive never spoken to them but i feel like they were a good friend

[@Pichi-lv6yx]

Wait a minute...! That's exactly what happened during one of my playthroughs...! It... can't be possibly you that I played with can it? It's ages ago, I know, but... still, I remember that one journey, that I have in my heart as my most favourite. if... if it's really you, I would laugh and cry... I hope you answer and maybe, maybe we are the people we once met. ^^

[@dwilt4rville]

Not that we drew hearts in the sand, but my companion and I had a similar experience. On my first run through the game, I had no clue what I was doing and they helped me along. If I rushed up ahead, I wanted to wait because I had really relied on them through the game. What was really special for me was that I didn't realize the game was online/multi-player until half way through the game. I thought an AI bot was helping me through the levels. When I finally did realize it was a human being, and not AI, my mind and heart was blown. I remember having this really strong emotional attachment to them and felt like I had actually made a friend in real life. When we got to the end, we took forever to walk through the final crevice because we didn't want to say goodbye. The game had created a bond between us. I had never experienced anything like that in a game before.

[@YoonchiYa]

That's the exact same thing to happened to me too! It was such a good experience T.T

[@wisdomhut3233]

There was this player that I will remember forever, so I wanted to revisit the game because I hadn’t played for a month. I was at the broken bridge and I saw a person sitting down alone so I came up to him and started to communicate with him, he communicated back. ( I had the white robe) So I decided to show him where the secrets were around the game and he would always be behind my back. But at the end when we were at the top of the mountain, he started to draw hearts on the snow, at first glance I didn’t recognise what he was doing but then later realised that he was saying a goodbye and thank you to me. So I decided to draw a heart on the snow, then he drew his heart and linked his to mine. After a few minutes saying goodbye, we walked into the light.

[@moogle9977]

Were they wearing a white robe also? You just described a wonderful playthrough that I had a month or so ago with an incredible companion! I was upset that no one wanted to play with me. It seemed like every time I found someone, they weren't interested in playing together. So, one day, I loaded up the broken bridge and sat there for almost 30 minutes waiting for someone to come, and then this white robe appeared. They chirped, I chirped. And they showed me every secret in the game! If it was you, thank you for the wonderful playthrough! If not, thank you to whoever my mysterious companion was. When we got to the final chapter, I drew hearts around them as my way of saying goodbye, but I do not know if they understood. I wanted to say thank you for taking me on the road less traveled. Journey is a wonderful game.

Downloaded this out of curiosity on the PS store in freaking 2020, I will forever thank myself for this, it’s the happiest accident i’ve had. I launched it, played all the way through and just sat there in silence for a good amount of time, I’ve never felt this way after playing a game

[@victors.372]

You just made me realize how Sony gave us a game about having a journey, with someone (if you're lucky) now that we can't get out of the house, or give hugs or kisses or even a handshake. Its extraordinary how you can meet and communicate and have a journey with someone that may not even speak your same language, or that may not even meet in person ever, but maybe if you're lucky you'll send a message and become friends on psn.

I wish I had finished the game because I could see the probe name and I'm so sorry

To all those who I may have played with in Journey: I don't know who you are. I don't know where you live, or what you do, or even what your names are. But I know that you shared this with me. You shared this beautiful experience with me, and together, we made it through. And for that, I love you. Even though we'll probably never meet, know that I love you for sharing this with me.

[@magnusm4]

Cause the lack of communication, simple controls of the characters and sounds, the main indie game feel, the focus on the journey and nothing too challenging or requiring and no chances to be a dick leaves the ignorant players with nothing to do to enjoy them selves and only leaves the game for the more open hearted players who look for a journey rather than a cheap laugh at others cost

Playing this game made me a better person. The last part of the game made me realize life was like that. No one knows when their time will come; who will still be with them the next morning. After playing I've left my room and tried actually getting a life. Since finishing this game, I've improved my relationship with my grandma, learnt to keep away from negative people, and made actual RL friends. This game is a piece of art.

I was bored, so I scrolled through KZbin, looking for songs to listen to. I found this. Next day I looked at Journey because I fell in love with the OST. Best. Decision. Ever.

[@XenobakaLP]

I remember having a Journey with a stranger and we always waited for each other. Everytime we somehow lost the other we spammed the "noise" button really fast to signal for the other to wait or look out. It was our way for communicating, truly amazing how we understood each other with only movement, noises and jumps. *SPOILER* However at the snowy area where those weird aggressive beings are I was almost spotted by a light, so my buddy ran into the light to sacrifice himself and got hit REALLY far away, I'ver never seen that before and I simply couldn't find him. To not make his sacrifice for nothing I simply ran forward until my character collapsed in the snow. I was so upset that I had to do the beautiful "Paradise" level part on my own and when I finally made it up the mountain I looked back a last time. But what was that? I saw a little noise bubble when I looked down, very very far away. I didn't even know you could see them from this distance. I had my hopes up, was it just my imagination and I've seen wrong? After a few minutes someone dropped right next to me into the snow and jumped, spammed the "noise" button and I replied back. To this day I am certain it had to be him, it was my own little happy ending and that's a moment in gaming I'll never forget. Walking into the light and both reaching the end.

[@makstheginger1315]

Those aggressive things are machines that the past civilization used for war and eventually killing themselves with them, how do i know? I played this game too many times.

My first playthrough: Met another traveller at the Cloth Bridge and played through almost the entire game with them, helping each other to find glyphs in hard to reach areas and finding the best ways to avoid the Guardians. We got all the way to the snowy mountain, but then I had to go. I tried to tell them by sitting down and refusing to get up, but they wouldn't go on. In the end I had to just turn off the console. It sounds ridiculous, but I genuinely felt sad having to leave them. Beautiful game; one of the best.

[@Uncle_Sunpuppy]

Oh ok lol. Yeah the fact there isn't dialogue leaves much more room for interpretation in the story, and allows for not only a much more mentally stimulating experience, but also says much more by using only visuals and contextual clues. It's like an orchestra compared to a pop song. Pop songs will spell it out and be catchy, but an orchestra tells a story written with feelings and flow as it's lyrics.

[@aaronh248]

Probably one of the most thought provoking experiences since Shadow of the Colossus for me. You start out so innocently, just taking in the world around you like a new born babe. You play through the world with innocence and wonder. Fly around like a bird. Then you begin to get a heightened since of discovery within the world, finding all those magical flying tomes which give you even more ability to fly around. Then, purpose enters into the process and with purpose comes the ability to be led and manipulated. That early childlike sense of discovery and joy is replaced by a drive to figure out what it all means and you now have the childlike innocence of trust without question. Then you see your purpose, to reach the top of the mountain and without question or worry of consequence you do whatever it takes and fight through whatever obstacle to reach this goal. And then the ending, and that painful realization that you have made a mistake. You desperately try to keep your voice, you begin to almost naturally and instinctively huddle together with your companion as if to find strength together to fight through it. And then the slow demise into death. Then, you are whisked away into the heavens and treated to perhaps one of the most unforgettable " endings " ever imagined. You forget the journey that led you here as you are put on sensory overload and pure joy reemerges from the darkness of what occured before. Only to become a beacon for the next child thrust into this world. Pretty freakin great stuff. Can't wait to experience it again on the PS4!

[@dustfinger1210]

42:18 to 42:40 rips my heart out every time. This whole soundtrack is stunning, but that's the best part, no question. I've lost so many people this year, either unexpectedly or far before their due time. This game and this music reminds me that even though they're gone they still matter, that their own fights - life, cancer, anything - have defined them as something irreplaceable. Their own journeys may be over but they will not be forgotten, nor will they mean less to me in time. And then the movement at 47:33 onwards, and 50:00 just wrecks me. It's uplifting and heartwrenching at the same time and messes me up so bad. I think I game too much, it messes up my perception and acceptance of death. But damn I miss my people. Accidental diary entry whoops, just downvote and move on.

[@Azariachan]

Vickemz The Difference Yes, it DOES force you to play with others. You don't have to react to them, you can completely ignore them and just run ahead, but that's rude and I always feel obliged to wait for them and help them when they get attacked by an enemy. Maybe you can play offline and in that case it doesn't pair you up with anyone, I'm yet to test that.

[@chechensky]

Azariachan I think the multiplayer side of the game is more enhancing to the emotional experience, having some one with you in the game, helping them out or them helping you when you're stuck somewhere, felt like Sam and Frodo's journey to reach to the top of the mountain. Of course that is if you're not paired with some one who's a dick.

Around 53:45 someone starts singing. This part of the soundtract is its own song, called "I was born for this."

I played this game only once at a young age when it first came out. It affected me emotionally in a way I didn't understand, and still can't put to words. 7 years later after studying music for about the same length of time as it has been since I have played this game I come to appreciate this music even more. I am so glad this game came out, and I'm glad I have gained the knowledge to appreciate this music even more

I so wish I knew about this game when I was writing my music dissertation forever ago... There’s so much going on in the soundtrack; motif, counterpoint, instrumentation. Everything about it is deliberate and planned

[@alicehodges483]

We met underwater. I’d just escape the monsters and I was so cold and so so lonely. I saw you. You weren’t my first companion, but your scarf was so small and I know I had to look out for you. We travelled together for the rest of the game. On the mountain, we kept to the outskirts and tried to stay out is reach. My scarf was cut, twice, but I stayed and traveled along the outskirts with you anyway, even though there was nowhere to hide, because I know I had to stay with you. Because I needed to say with you. You reached the top of the mountain and fell just before I did. I called and called, even as I died, hoping you would wake up. You did not. I hoped that I would find you once again, after Rebirth, but you weren’t there to experience the pure elation with me, and I missed you. I hope you are safe and well now, and that you found the stars just as beautiful as I did. Thank you for staying with me, even when I was weak and frozen on that mountain. Thank you

[@cyancalibur7828]

Up until now I realized the meaning of Journey (or what I think is the meaning). Rather long read sorry xD If you want to skip to the jist, just read the very end and ignore the observations. In the deserts- You fly and most likely will spam the 'sing' button. The player is literally full of energy and joy exploring the beginning of the game. The dolphins (or ribbon octopuses, however you like) guide you up to the sand slides like parents and adults guiding a child through life. The tunnels- You feel alone and intimidated by the Guardians hunting for you with their spotlights. They represent the negative people you will encounter in life. More often than not, you may feel helpless as they prey on you. When you have a companion, you won't feel alone, just intimidated. Just like facing bullies and cruel people. The temple/golden-sand-ocean~ This part of the game is the most beautiful, in my opinion. It's like marriage and having a good stage in life; everything is great and beautiful. It's hard to explain, really, but the ribbon creatures are like friends and family guiding and helping you enjoy life, in a way. The mountain- Your ribbon "disappears" and the wind will knock you over repeatedly with more Guardians searching near the end. The ribbon creatures slowly freeze and don't respond; as though they barely have life anymore. It represents how, as you grow older, you will loose friends and the ones who guide you. In general, it is a brutal march to death. The summit/end level- Pretty much the afterlife; self explanitory. The ribbon represented your life; beginning- short ribbon= young, End- long ribbon/disappeared= old and/or experienced. The companions you meet online are like your signifigant other, you help eachother through life and may or may not leave the game unexpectedly Journey. Is. About. Life. Or at least that's what i believe.

[@theoldfarter]

[@cyancalibur7828]

Trevor Adair Oh thank you ^__^

[@mindovermindfuck]

I like this theory ^^ Do you have your own take on the white people's rise and fall?

[@cyancalibur7828]

Mind over Mindfuck Well, I suppose I can try ^-^ The mountain that all players journey to -punintendeda'kgibreubg- gave birth to the ancient glyphs. The glyphs created life (hence the cutscene's birds & plants) and eventually created the white-robed people. Eventually, they discovered the ancient glyph's magic in the ribbons and took advantage of them to start their civilization. With the ancient ribbons, the white robes built pillars, buildings, and used the magic to power their temples. But like humans, their architecture took over the natural land. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough ribbons to empower their society- this caused the "rip" between the white robes (irl example: the schism between Islam's Sunnis & Shia). Like all prosperous dynasties/empires, this began their downfall. The split mentioned most likely sparked hatred between the white robes. Eventually, they used the last of their ribbons to create the Guardians & use them as weapons against one another. Over time, the war took over the majority of the white robes & caused many casualties. After (I believe centuries?) the sand buried most of the remains of the once-powerful civilization & the whites. But, there was one survivor: The player. Or just some orange runt you have to play as. *Fun Fact: You can unlock your own white robe in the game* Anyway, that was what I could come up with, & well, the white robed people are actually quite similar to some of our ancestors' early empires.

[@theoldfarter]

Cyan Calibur How do you unlock the white robe?

[@Baider808]

This is one of my favorite games. My favorite run was honestly one of the first I had. We both had red robes and were exploring and finding secrets together, chittering and walking side by side. Even when it was the end, I could see their head move showing they were still trying to talk. In the end we drew our hearts in the sand and walked into the light together. It was beautiful and I hope that person is well after all this time

It is graphically beautiful and it's music and environment incredibly immersive. It makes you feel joy, grief, relief, sadness, hope, desperation, solitude, everything just with this amazing music and body expressions of the character. This huge accomplishment is achieved with no dialogue lines, texts and with characters that don't even have a face or gender.

[@tysej4]

I remember visiting my friend during a summer weekend and he almost forced me to play this game... And I must say, the experience, while short was nothing short of astounding! The feeling you get during this game is one of wonder.. You explore the world finding hints as to what happened and your desire to experience everything just gives the game better feeling. I stumbled into my first other player a short while into it, and the whole.. Following and experiencing things together without actually being able to communicate our thoughts was exhilarating. I also felt generaly alone when my partner went missing.. I'd seach far and wide before moving or.. Or finding him. This is probably the best game I've ever played... Despite the fact that it's not very long 3-4.. maybe 5 hours if you really go into explorer mode. it had provided me with an experience unlike any other... I'm glad it was made the way it was, and I'm glad that I got to experience it. Sad that I've completed it, but after playing it, I would've payed 5 times the sum that they were asking. The experience is worth it! 10/10... Or rather seeing as generic number fails to apply (Since CoD get's like 9/10 on every gaming-jounalism site) I'll say, that it's something one should play atleast ONCE in their lifetime.

[@Lunaeluu]

So much this, it's so replayable because it's just a joy to play! Even if you know the journey it's the taking of the journey. Even a year on I still remember the most perfect run where me and another player started and finished all the way through and it was so beautiful because we both somehow magically cooperated perfectly, somewhat like a dance staying in the air indefinitely by crossing the tails. And right at the end you have a little patch of sand before the last few steps into whiteness and we both wrote our appreciation in the sand. It's not describable, if you haven't played it you must :) (ps sorry for the cheesiness! ;) )

[@tysej4]

Lunaelu I must admit.. The first time I played it I got heartbroken near the end... My friend had already fallen in the dark wintery mist, so instead of moving on I just stayed until I too succumbed... It was poetic gameplay.

For me, I really didn't realize what pleasures and advantages of having a companion can bring till I really lost my partner. Just that happy feeling and whosh, gone. Didn't expect the turn of events.

I remember that day. Not vividly, but just that session. We were poor back then. We had just gotten a PS4 for the whole family, and I had to go to my parents room to play, as we didnt really have a couch for the living room. My mom left me at home that day, as she had to go to the doctors to give birth. We had bought this game pack with Flow, Flower, and this beautiful game. The first time, i ran through it fast, not appreciating the true beauty. But on the second play through, i went through it with someone i had never seen. They seemed like a new player, like they just installed it and booted it up. Just like me. We walked. We always stayed together. We admired the barren landscape. We messed around. We played tag, we tumbled in the sand. We hid from monsters, we made it to the very end. It was beautiful. Just to have a random person do all that. Just having someone run with you. I couldnt read their mind, yet after only a few minutes, we developed a system of talking. It felt like i knew everything about them, yet nothing at the same time. I dont know who that person was but. I miss them. Whoever that person is, i hold them dear. And (platonically) i love em. If you somehow find this, and figure out who i am. Send me a comment.

[@MedievalWaffle365]

God, I cried the first time I played this beautiful piece of visual art. No, I wasn't ugly crying before you ask to meme me, it was just me sitting there, staring at the soul of my character float past every scene that I had just journeyed through. It took so much effort to get to the distant mountain, and it was so remarkably beautiful to see, remember, and re-live every moment that made up my journey. I remember the ending so vividly. It's so compelling and impactful, I've said so little about this game yet I'm replaying the entirety of it in my head as I sit here at my dimly-lit computer desk. I haven't played this game in at least a year or two, and the first time I played it was at least in middle school because I remember procrastinating my science project just to play. Wow, I was sitting there crying and didn't even know why, but now it makes sense. I'm not usually a person who cries over something just over it's sheer beauty, but this game moved me. The interaction with your friend and the mashing of your white symbol and theirs being used as a way of communication.. I remember spamming it when they were in danger, and I remember one time I had jumped in the way of the flying monster's light to protect my friend, but I'm pretty sure we both ended up getting hit haha. There's just so many little moments from this game that I miss, it had me smiling the whole time I was playing and I didn't even realize it at first. I've played Journey so many times, I've gotten all the collectible white symbols, I've added a few friends online after meeting them in-game. I'll never forget Journey. After I finished the game, I would even still continue to listen to the OST for a week after on my old MP3. Hell, I used to look up at the sky, and for every plane that would pass by leaving a trail of clouds behind, I would imagine it being another journeying soul flying by because it looked so similar. Thank you if you're still reading this, it was fun taking some time just to look back on my memories with this game. Journey is forever in my memory.

And I remember meeting another person, with a white dress, who looked so cool. And now I am the white perso, with a dress full of runes, I played this like, 20 times ? It's always different. I remember meeting someone who stayed until the end, waiting for eachother, calling for eachother, vanishing in light, together. And that was so powerful. And thanks to this game. (Not very class, but once I was with someone, we did all the beginning together but I had to go to the toilet and I was like "uuuuh the person is probably gone" but... no. This person litteraly waited for me when he had no idea why I stopped moving,,,,,,, this game is so beautiful, the fact that we can't talk is pure genius)

I played the game last night for the very first time, and oh boy, I was in a mess of tears after the game. I met someone while playing the game, they would guide me on where I needed to go. We would often chirp to one another to make sure that we're okay, or that we're still there. In that one room where it involved water, we just swam around with each other, chirping nonstop, and I felt as if I made a close friend by just playing this game. I witnessed my friend getting attacked by that machine-like monster, and I felt as if I nearly lost a close friend of mine. They were okay, though. We made it to the trials after so long, we'd just cuddle each other to make sure that our scarves would have enough energy to keep going in the harsh snowstorm. But then after nearly facing death in the eyes, we were brought back to life, blooming with energy and able to finally reach our destination. We drew hearts at the end of the portal, chirping to each other, and we walked side by side to the end of the tunnel, chirping as we went. Then, it was the end -- an end of a wonderful journey that I don't think I'll ever forget. This game impacted me so much, I don't know how to put it in words. I was sad. Upset, even. Just typing this out made me emotional. I'm just at a loss of words right now for this game, it's breathtaking and I'd honestly love to play the game again without any knowledge of it.

I know what you felt. I did too. I added so many People after each run.

This is one of the most calming OST I know. I'm in love with it.

Every level represents the beauty and hardships of life. To experience such moments with an unknown stranger, where our only form of communication was through musical notes Didn't matter his race, religion, cultural or ethnic background, his values, nor his history he became my companion then my brother This game is nothing short of spiritual and understands life

My friend took two hits from those beasts, tearing his scarf. The cold did not take either of us that day.

Edit : I come back a year later with 28 likes and my post at the top (at least for me it is). A silly post now that I think about it. Regardless, the Journey I had that day is still a very memorable one, along with the newer ones after that. To see another game like this would make me feel wonderful inside. Now, back to my old story : Original Post ______________________ It was here at 42:00 when my first journey took a turn for the worst. I had an amazing time with the one I traveled with. As we began climbing up the frozen cloth, he suddenly stood there. I kept calling to him to move, but he kept standing. Shortly after, he sat down, so I did the same. 10 minutes passed, I got my trophy. 20 minutes passed, I began feeling neglected. 25 minutes in, I gave up and went out on my own. From then on, I struggled against the freezing, cold winds that froze me to the core. I didn't have anyone to keep me warm or regrow my scarf, it was all just me alone trying to reach the mountain. My character fell down. I was going to die alone. 52:00 Regaining my scarf and flying to the mountain, I felt rejoice. As I reached near the end, I looked back in hope of seeing that same person who left me. No one was behind me, and I decided that I would end my journey there. Whoever it was that couldn't continue their journey with me, i'm sorry I left you behind. I wanted to travel and finish my journey with you. I hope we meet again, somehow, someway, and we finish a journey together. Thank you for helping me through my journey. I'm not mad at you. I'm just sad we couldn't finish our journey together.

I so understand you and you did so much more than anyone could have expected. Just think about it ... you wait for someone for 30 minutes... in an online game! Who does that? Players of this game do - at least so many more than I would have ever thought! Wow

[@tessawhitaker8562]

This music made the game a very spiritual experience for me. It soothed my mind and soul and it continues to do so. It inspires my imagination and has brought me to the point of tears many times. Thank you Austin Wintory!

[@joseluisleal5471]

In 2023 I've played this Game again and I've been running around enjoying all the scenarios and the music. Soo GOOD 😊

[@Margoldy89]

This is the most wholesome comment section on youtube. It warms my heart.

[@thibaultl1956]

So many years later and I haven’t forgotten what it was like.

[@Caranraug]

Whenever I draw or sew or do something similar I always listen to this soundtrack. It's so inspiring and Journey is a beautiful game. Right now I'm making a Journey cosplay so this is the perfect background music for that! Thanks for uploading this :3

I'm making a journey comic...SO it is even better! =D

***** no it wasn't. Sadly I'e never gone to any convention in my life...

[@LuisTorres-bp5kt]

I remember traveling through the snow with another player and we were desperately trying to keep one another warm as we neared the top. It was intense. Love this game.

[@luvdarkri]

I will never forget the most heartwrenching playthrough I had where the person I was with was attentive and communicative with me, but got disconnected. This game DID SO MUCH SAD WITH HOW THEY DISPLAY SOMEONE DISCONNECTING!! They literally go to meditate for a bit before dusting out of existence, I was crying over pixels on a screen for hours. But this game has so many great times, it sucks not many people play on PS3 anymore but I'm so excited to play on PC when I get a better one. The PS3 servers are a barren wasteland and I was sobbing while playing alone, desperately pinging to see if anyone would ping back.
