I feel like that game literally changed my life in the 2 hours or whatever it took me to play it.

That game is so beautiful. It made me a better person.

I was absolutely entranced.

    I played it back when it first came out, and I still pick it up at least once or twice a year just to play it again. It is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played.

    Did you get to encounter any other players on your journey? Also, if you collect all of the glyphs (the ones that extend your scarf) you get the white robe. It makes it so that your scarf recharges just from standing on a surface! (And it’s pretty!)

      I didn’t, and I had no idea about collecting all the glyphs. I collected all the ones I saw until I got to the penultimate tower, and then I was so caught up in the game that I just left them and kept gliding forward.

      Maybe I’ll do that next time I play.

      I can’t imagine not playing it again at some point.

      I would recommend this game to anyone, it is truly unique.

        Oh, hey. I completely forgot… They have another game called Flower that’s available on Steam. It came out before Journey. You play as the wind, collecting flower petals by waking up flowers. It may sound weird, but it’s super peaceful and relaxing.

        The one before that, their first game, is called Flow, but it never got ported to PC, so you’ll need a PS4/5 to play it. You play as a microscopic organism that floats around eating other organisms, growing larger and more elaborate as you do, trying to get to the dark depths.

        I love thatgamecompany. Their stuff is always so chill.
