Journey

I’ve always wanted to play Journey for the longest time. It’s been on my radar for years and, thanks to the iOS port, I have been able to FINALLY experience it myself. And boy, what a journey it was! The music, the atmosphere, the tension, the flying, i can go on and on! Reaching the end made my cry (it’s rare when games do that) and it’s stuck with me long after I completed it for the first time. Everything, and I truly mean EVERYTHING about this game has tugged on my heartstrings and hasn’t let it go since. Absolutely phenomenal experience, (one i highly recommend you go into blind like I did) and one that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

It’s emotional throughout, evoking depths of reflection that expands beyond gaming but an experience far greater. One of few titles PS3 left looking more powerful than Xbox 360 back when, each grain of sand, lively, active & enormous environments finely detailed. My iOS devices do, appropriately translate a more than viable version with every note as PS3, tho may not represent this port on more premium hardware, some visuals may be reduced in fidelity but made the cut fine. On iPad Mini 4, iPhone SE 3, 12 & itty bitty iPod Touch 7 all objectively convey THE “Journey” experiences in totality. With noticeable scaling between chips/resolution, an A8 the weakest SoC here still ended up being my primary play through due to a still incredible display on iPad Mini 4 & obviously this game cannot be recommended enough. Love it, by it, feel it & yea good day y’all.
