Playing Journey

Allow me to introduce you to my latest obssession:

It's Journey, and it's a 2-hour length indie-developed video game by ThatGameCompany. Also, it is the most perfect game that has ever been made to date in the history of video games--notice the lack of the word "arguably" here. There are two different groups that react to that statement, one being those who disagree with me, and the other being those who have played the game.

But of course, dear reader, there may actually be a handful of people in this universe who played Journey and didn't enjoy the experience. As mentally incapacitated as these people may be, they are of course entitled to their opinion--after all, Journey is not my favorite game though I love it so; I have another favorite for personal reasons, so the same must go for these banana peels. However, I don't actually think that Journey is reserved, as it so often is, for the artistically inclined gamer--oh no, I think anyone who has the slightest interest in games should try it. Regardless of whether or not you enjoy Journey, it's easily one of the more accessible games out there that sit comfortably outside the lines of what a "typical game" feels like. In short, I'm a fan.
