Love, love, love this game. Did I mention that I love this game?

I usually go for survival/exploration games but a friend recommended I try Journey and I'm so glad I did. On my first play through I met several fellow travelers and while I'm late to gaming (I'm 59 and just really started playing games last year) I can say with 100% certainty that I've never felt such a connection to players that I've just met.

I struggled with learning how to fly and they waited patiently while I plowed into walls and ceilings. They would chirp what I think was encouragement since they didn't leave me behind. And when I got to the stairs in the snow level and couldn't figure it out they wouldn't leave me behind. I finally had to quit the game so that my fellow travelers could finish their journey.

Last night I finally made it to the end of the game. Wow was it amazing.

This is the only game I've played where I felt deep emotions, met players who were selfless, and immediately knew it was a game I could come to to be uplifted.
