This game doesn't have much to it in terms of gameplay, you're mostly walking or flying about. But that doesn't stop it from being an amazing experience. There isn't a story shoved down your throat, it's just there for you if you want it. The music and the visuals are great, the areas you encounter are stunning and the way multiplayer works is such a great idea. I had no idea that I was playing with other people until I beat the game and saw the names of those who I encountered along the way. This is a game to put on at the end of a long day to just unwind to.

Journey has you playing as a robed figure attempting to reach a destination by traveling through a desert. You have the ability to leap and float that is represented by the appearance of your scarf. Much of the joy gotten from playing Journey comes in not knowing what to expect, the beauty of the environments, the often relaxing atmosphere, and the traveling companions that you can run into from the game's seamless multiplayer component. As long as you are online there is the chance to run into another player who is in the same area as you, there is no competitive mechanics and no major benefit to having a companion save for your ability to jump and float charging when you are near each other. There isn't even a way to communicate with other players save from a button that has your character letting out a simple sound. The Collector?s Edition also includes the games flOw and Flower, both enjoyable but not on the level of Journey, their inclusion is great if you are interested in them as well but will otherwise just end up adding to the price of the game.
