Not polished enough

All around fun to play alone or with friends.

And so a new genre was born.

It is a lot of fun with friends, but only because I somewhat know what I have to do. Otherwise Don't Starve is just really unforgiving and frustrating. There is always a new Giant we didn't know that destroys the whole base and has way to much health to kill. It's not challenging. Either you know how to nuke them out of this dimension or you loose all your progress which is pretty bad design but on the other hand it never gets boring I guess if the frustration does not eat you up.

I played this game three times during early access and finally the full release and I have to say I am a bit confused.
Is the game released? Yes, but the content that got added since I last played it is not much that I was very confused to find out the map stayed so small. There are a lot of places where I thought during EA: well they'll add something here I guess or why bother. Nope.
The whole part on land is just aweful. The snowfox drives terrible that it constantly damages itself while driving to the point where it is much better to just use the prawn suit on land as it kills nasty predators and the leviathan isn't bothering anymore.
The base building is really picky and does not work that well on land. There are no stairs or ladders outside that could be really useful.
Spoilers:
I have no problem with changing the story through the process but the way it turned out is very unsatisfying. The parts of the story aren't connected anymore or rely on each other, just help AL-AN. Marguerit is just "bonus" and for the last person living not very interesting because you interact with her as much as you interact with dead people's PDA. And what happened to them isn't resolved for most of them. The random sunken ship is more interesting then them. From playing the last few times I knew to bring the materials for Alan beforehand I went to the crystal caves and get the last blueprint of random organs lying around in a cave conveniently because that is exactly what we need to go further down and build him his body. Luckily as I don't remember the parts for the organs, I had them already with me, otherwise I would have to get back to my mainbase, just to return and get Alan his stupid body while the shadowleviathan is outside eating my prawn suit even though I hid it inside crystals and then leaving this whole place forever. The sister does not matter at all. I don't care for random PDAs to get a vague idea what happened to her just to hear at one point: Well, she blew up, there is nothing for you to do except Alan, because you know, Alan is so cool and all inside your mind, just leave with him this place all together so you don't have the problem of explaining his existence to someone else. Sorry, I'm getting of track like the seatruck but this game lacks content, gameplay and interesting aliens in all accounts compared to the first game.
Normally I don't really write negative reviews, but after playing this game three times in different states and cumulatively twice as long as Subnautica I feel like I wasted my time.

Great as the first game. Inspired a lot by hollow knight

One of my all time favorite games and it is finally not console or epic exclusive. Amazing.
Bought the OST in so many ways.

/edit: As much as I love this game the port from Annapurna is just bad. The music loops poorly in all possible ways. The most obvious it becomes if you reach the end when the music is supposed to fade out but it still blasts the first part of "Apotheosis" from the beginning of the level. In my opinion not the beautiful graphics are important to Journey. It's the sound design and music interlinked with the sound of other players and it's not acceptable that after one year there is still no patch for this.

Often there are soundeffects audible, that are not in range or just too loud. It feels like they mixed up the music volume and soundeffect volume, as the music often is way too quite, still the soundeffects blast the same no matter the distance to its source.

Sehr schöne Grafik und Animationen, viele nette Funktionen die nun standardmäßig vorhanden sind die früher einen Mod benötigt hätten.
Musik wurde remastered, kommt aber nicht ganz an das Original heran finde ich.

Perfect Coop Game. Nice art style.

Better than the first game which was already pretty great.
