Hi!! Thank you so much for the Journey! You two were a great companion, and so glad you enjoyed the game! ❤
You're awesome 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Thanks for making the game so wholesome
You were a super awesome companion. It was enjoyable to see you play
Omg you were so much fun to watch and sooo wholesome 💕 💖
You were so wonderful. I’m not crying. You’re crying! ⭐️❤️
Aww Peksa, you made my day. Thx for being you. 🤗❤
But how did you know they were streaming?
The more patterns you have on your outfit = the amount of times you've played through the game.
Up to a certain point....
@@horrorcide13 true.
The first time I played this, I was lucky enough to also get a player in my world and I got so emotional at the snowy mountain and just towards the end as I get to play with this stranger. I swear Journey players are the sweetest 😭
Playing journey brings out the best of people
I didn't get a player😢
I used to enjoy playing this game as a white robe sometimes to guide newer players. I imagine Peksa is also a white robe, but had the option turned off. When you unlock all the secrets in the game, you get the option to turn your robe and scarf white, and your scarf gets very long and slowly refills automatically when you are on the ground. Basically a great toolkit to help someone have a fun first run, and you can show them (some) of the secrets to help them have a good experience.
Some people don't like playing as a white robe, because it is sort of like easy mode, and the other player might rely on you too much to solve the puzzles, thus missing out on some of the fun of solving the game themselves. However, seeing the white robe is also pretty cool, and the other player can have a goal they might strive for at that point.
I kind of consider it rude to show a new player all of the secrets though.. best to leave some undiscovered so they can play again to discover some new things themselves. Peksa did this very well, showing you a few things you were missing, but not chirping and leading you to every secret.
It's funny how common this attitude - let the new player lead - is prevalent in this game where it's so consistently the opposite in every other game ever, co-op or not. It's always about "I know what to do, I lead, you follow" except here, where it's "I know where to go, so you lead and we'll see what happens" instead.
Hey y’all! I’ve never actually played Journey but I know that the company who made Journey made another game that’s very similar. It’s called Sky: Children of light and it has a similar flight mechanic and multiplayer interactions. There’s lots of player customization for your avatars and the community for the game is very active. You two can even play together if you want. It’s a very relaxing game. It is a mobile name though, but it’s on the Switch as well.
Also, might I add, the chirps and everything is exactly the same. There’s even little emotes you can do as well. There’s seasonal events where you can unlock new cosmetics and it adds more to the story as well. The community is honestly one of the best things. You start by lighting each other’s candles and progressing your friendship and then eventually you can unlock text chat with your friend.
@@GamingBros456 yes! I was about to say play sky!!! Beautiful game❤
I thought there was also a desktop version? At least, I recall seeing it on their website.
@@SilverAlaunt I do believe there was when they were beta testing the game. Not anymore.
@@GamingBros456 That makes sense.
Heeey what a nice surprise!! my final assignment in graphic design was all about this game! I love Journey! So nice to see you guys have a genuine first impression with this game!
it was such a joy to play!
Journey is my absolute favorite game of all time and every time I hear the music or watch someone play I just start sobbing. The story isn't straight-foward and there's a lot that's open to interpretation, which makes it incredibly unique. When you get the chance, I recommend you look up the story behind "Apotheosis," the second-to-last song in the game's soundtrack. Austin Wintory is an incredible composer. Thank you for playing this and sharing the uncut, I'm so glad I got to see you play (even if it wasn't in real time).
I have had some great companions on Journey but wow! You guys have no idea how phenomenally lucky you got with Peksa! Really just so pro.
I encourage you to play more. It has never lost the wonder for me. I wish I could see the looks on your faces the first time you see a player in WHITE robes.
So much thought was put into this game, design relationships, game design and how this was all presented to the player without HUDs... this game is a master piece! please guys, do look further into it when you get the time!
This was the most wholesome thing I saw in a little while. Peksa is such a goodhearted companion. Thanks to you ❤
And yes I cried a little 😅
Peksa was such a sweet companion! I definitely wasn't as lucky in my first playthrough ^^
Abzu was made by the same people and you play as a cat man underwater and it'd be amazing if you'd play it, it's like one of my favorite games
Abzu's protagonist is actually female, according to the devs.
Wait… I remember watching my dad play that when I was 3 or so… wow… thanks
After Journey, one of the core developers from Journey split from thatgamecompany to start his own development studio and make Abzu. The rest of the team worked on Sky: Children of the Light (a free mobile game which is apparently getting a PC port... here's hoping it doesn't end up Steam exclusive). Doesn't take away from the game - at all - and it had the same composer who made the music for Journey as well, but "the same people as Journey" is a bit of a misrepresentation of who made Abzu.
One of the best nights of my life was seeing a live play through of this game with the actual composer and a live orchestra 🤩 it was so interesting to see how they shifted between soundtracks between various scenes as students played the game. Honestly such an incredible experience
I've made several non-gamer friends play through Journey - it's so approachable, short enough to play in one sitting, and just absolutely beautiful! On my and my husband's third playthrough we were matched with a wonderful white-robe, who showed us to areas we had completely missed. What a beautiful community. I also used to come back to the color changing level on Flower many times, another gorgeous game by the same devs, and the first game I ever let my daughter play because it was so easy to get into - when she was 2 or so. ThatGameCompany has a place in my heart forever. ❤ What a wholesome ending to a great stream!
This was so uplifting to watch, partly because of how much E+K were into it, and partly the stunning soundtrack, which affected me even more than the graphics and even more than the 'companion' (although that was pretty great, and I'll be asking Santa for a Peksa of my own this Christmas). End of a chill weekend, normally Sunday nights are a little sad for no particular reason, but tonight they're happy tears. Thank you E+K and Peksa 💞
Not for nothing - if the soundtrack resonated, you may enjoy knowing that the composer (Austin Wintory, link on YT is: th-cam.com/users/awintory ) has re-released the an anniversary edition of the score (10 years, I think?) and is also an all around cool guy. There is a wealth of stuff on his channel from interesting discussions and explorations of music to complete OST's and more. No, I'm not sponsored, just a fan, lol. Anyway, if you liked it, you might find more that you enjoy. Have fun!
I love the fact that the guardians that went with you into the light, then turned into carpet creatures 1:31:35
I absolutely love this game, glad you two enjoyed it. Peksa was an amazing journey companion, making sure to keep up with you, letting you explore where you wanted to but still helping to nudge you here and there to help you find a few of the glowy bits and storyboards. I think it would be awesome to see you play again sometime!
Another cute game by these people is Flower that not a lot of people talk about. Where you're the wind and you carry a flower petal though really pretty landscapes. There are a few puzzles and a wordless story like this one.
Flower is such a nice chill game, mostly. I think it's one of my top favourites (as is journey)
this reminds me of sky: children of the light! both are amazing games
Same creators
makes sense actually
Sky is my favorite game (:
Such a perfect playthrough, you got a good pairing with the random player, a good understanding of game mechanics, a good understanding of the story, such a satisfying vod. (I know people making mistakes and not finishing a game perfectly the way we want it is perfectly normal, but Can you blame me if I like the way someone plays too 😅)
Journey is a game everyone should play. it's so peaceful
0:37 it’s giving grounded vibes
There's nothing quite as sad as going through the game alone while all the pictures you uncover show you traveling with a friend.
Never felt so rejected 😿
Bah, story of my life. Builds character, and self-reliance.
If you saw another character in the pictures, then you were connected to another player in that level. Sometimes you're just not in the same spot to see each other, OR you were playing on Epic games where there are serious issues with seeing other players. They were there in spirit for you :)
I really needed this today. Thank you. Much love⭐️❤️
This uncut is my favorite to watch whenever I want something fun and relaxing at the same time. Beautiful game and wholesome streamers ❤
Imagine hopping into a game and finding out you're playing with Evan and Katelyn!
i love this game, I never managed to find somebody during my runs on PC sadly but these interactions and playing together vs alone gives it a very different and wholesome feeling!
Journey!!!! I remember my brother-in-law showing it to me almost 3 or 4 years ago and I just played it the whole day. So beautiful, so simple yet intricate, so calming and just great! I'm so happy you finally played it!
I loved this game. Very beautiful, it's about life and death🧡💛
journey is one of my absolute favorite games, the ost still gives me chills :) especially the resurrection portion and the ending song
Before watching a single minute, I can say... Journey is FANTASTIC, and you will have a wonderful experience.
Okay but what about the follow up game? Similar but underwater. ABZU I believe.
Absolutely stunning. Granted I do love water so I may be biased.😂
6:51 No, it definitely wasn't that. You just ran through it without exploring it.
One of the rare cases where a streamer plays this game and gets that the 4th abd 5th murals showed a war. Most I've seen interpreted it as the dragon things appearing and killing off the white robes. But we can clearly see them riding on the dragons and snapping apart their scarf (maybe out of a struggle for resources). So what I understand from this game is they overused their energy resources and had a scarcity problem, causing the white robes to go to war over resources and creating large machines for fighting each other. They all died out from the collapse of their society and thus their war machines went rogue.
You as the traveller may be an outsider, or a reincarnation of the white robes remnants which now travels and releases the trapped robe animals and spirits, seeking to right the wrongs of the past.
The white robe spirit guardians all serve to retell their story and warn the red robed traveller with one unified message: Look at what we were, and what we became, do NOT repeat our mistakes.
Can you please do the forest again I loved that series
AMAZING!!! This was an amazing game! So wholesome! You ROCK Peksa!
Heyyyyy I love your guys channel summary I've been watching for like 3 year and ESPECIALLY LOVE your guys gaming channel you guys always help me through the hard times and overall I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH
So muchhhh*
I got SO excited when I heard you all were going to play this game. I watched a Let's Play several years ago and have loved it ever since. It also makes me want to try to figure out how to play online so I can hang out with other people.
You need to make a sand water fall!
You guys should play sky: children of the light! It’s made by the same creators and it’s really cool!
I love you guys so much and I’m so glad you guys are playing a game I use to play all the time keep up the great content
This game is like a good therapy sesh for me! One of the few games I have played more than once and I think I’ve gone through 4 times? Glad you took tha journey!
Oh hey, if anyone is wondering about that weird listing shape when they got the Ancestors achievement: that's from an earlier game they made called Flow.
this is one of my favorite games. The music and visuals are just stunning.
Well that was a beautiful experience I cried at the end ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This reminds me so much of Sky:Children of Light
Same company
omg! I love this game. I played it with my kids and we snuggled on the couch and enjoyed it so much. definitely a cozy fun game.
I don’t really understand but that was beautiful
If you loved this, you guys would love Abzu!! Made by the same people and it’s so peaceful and beautiful
Katelyn: Who needs legs when you can fly?
Me: Birbs.
this was so wholesome ! this game is so good that even playing solo is quite the experience
I remember Stampy playing this when I was little😢
When you're sitting here watching them play and you're like.. "YOU MISSED SO MUCH STORYYY IN LIKE THE FIRST 10 MINUTES" and flail and cry because you can't help XD
Wow! You unlocked the cilantro secret ending!!
If you like Journey and want the same kind of beautiful, serene exploration gameplay with no spoken word only music and ambient sound, you should definitely try ABZU, it has a similar kind of premise but underwater, exploring from the shallows to the depths of the ocean and beyond. :D
I’ll definitely have to watch this again. I had a stressful doctor’s appt and then ate dinner with my mom. I kept dozing off for long periods of time. But I definitely enjoyed it and was happy and in awe when I found out Peksa subscribed before chatting with you. I hope someday the three of you collab again.
OMG ITS AMAZING THAT THAY FOUND THER FRIEND
PLEASE play RIME! It's my favorite game and a very similar vibe to Journey. Gorgeous soundtrack, more puzzles, so intuitive (like Journey) that there's no spoken or written instructions, and an amazing storyline (which I feel Journey kinda lacks). Chat better not spoil it for ya'll though.
This is one of my top 5 games of all time. I play and beat this game at least once a year.
This is my absolute favorite game! I’m so glad y’all played it!!!🥰🤩ps the more times you play the more bands you get on your outfit
sky's also a good game that you should play
and you can both play it toghether
AWWWWw so heartwarmingggg!!!
I discovered this game pretty late (last winter) and revisiting it with you both was a real joy. If you truly enjoyed it, I definitely recommend Abzû, which gives a similar feeling (whether you stream it or not). Definitely worth a try! Now I'm off to play Journey again, hehe. Thanks for the stream! ❤
Hey you guys, if you like these kind of games, you should totally play AER memories of old. Nice puzzle adventure, not to long, same genre.
this game reminds me a lot of sky: children of the light, and now im wondering if sky is a fan game of journey or the other way around
edit: OMG JUST FOUND OUT THAT IT IS THE SAME GAME DEVELOPER BUT JOURNEY HAS MORE DEVELOPED AND ORGINAL STORY AND DOESNT HAVE A BUNCH OF PLOT HOLES
I flinched my phone right out of my hands when that first leviathan popped up 😎
SO glad you two get recharged by doing these gaming streams! Y'all are always so much fun to watch live along with so many other Kevins!! *chirp chirp*
PS on your next In-N-Out run, you might enjoy animal style fries. ;)
They have said they used to but now just get the grilled onions because that is their favorite part. Chat talks about food every stream lol!
@@frankiemillcarek6976 hehe us Kevins may be just a little food obsessed, and that is quite alright. ;) Animal style burgers is one thing, but animal style fries is quite another. Must be tried at least once in life. :)
looks like Hershey's Kisses flying around
Oh MY gosh this has Sky Children of the Light vibes, only Journey is more immersive. Definitely check out sky if you get time yall!
this is by the same devs as Sky, and it came out first, so Sky is sort of the spiritual sequel. :>
@@hellsingmongrel Oh wow! Thanks for the info! I was wondering how they were connected
Yayy! I cought the end of the stream so I'm exited to see what I missed! ❤️
evan looks just like I did on my first journey play through XD so focused! I love this game so much it's so awesome to see it through someone else's "pov" as well.
every time katelyn plays a game evan immediately steals the controller. i know it is hard evan but LET HER PLAY!! 🤓
My son just watched this with me and then drew a picture for you
I guess the twist was the friends we made along the way
Stopped video at 0:23 as I haven't played it, and I don't want to be spoiled. Guess it's time to finally play that lol
Watching your videos is always so entertaining, no matter what it is your filming
;3; The most wholesome time
I played this game when i was 5 the god dam nostalga right now lol
the same company made another game callled Sky: Children of Light. You guys would enjoy it a lot if you enjoyed journey!
Its f2p and absolutely stunning in graphics, gameplay and soundtrack.
You should play unravelled together, I think that would be really fun to watch as you have to work together.
10:38 L chatter for trying to spoil the online twist
That pissed me off so much. People just gotta spoil shit for other people. 🙄
This was so wholesome 🥺
This just goes to show that some good wholesome people in the world exist but me p,aging this wouldn’t have nearly as much luck to get that awesome of a guide
That cool little swimmy creature in the secret room down in the second-to-last level was a throwback to FlOw -- the first game in this trio from ThatGameCompany. 💛
I have always found this game to be similar to Sky: Children of the light, another fantastic game y’all should check out
Same company
one of the first times i hung out with my now boyfriend we played this... that was almost 10 years ago now! love this game! 💜
For a moment I thought you meant you actually met him in-game, that would be pretty special!
@@bobblebardsley Couples have met through Journey, even moved countries to be together. Beautiful.
You guys should do a collab with Jackie since she also has a gaming channel
I would love to see Kaitlyn play Shadow of the Colossus!!!
Such a good game. It’s beautiful.
Yes!! I was just thinking the other week that I'd like to see you play this.
Count how many comments feature the word 'wholesome.'
Wow. F the guy who just spoiled the damn surprise at the beginning. Jesus people are jerks. One of the best things is finding out you were playing with actual people at the end. Hate people like that.
Hey guys love this game, one of my favorite so far I enjoyed your gameplay so wholesome, also you should try ABZU , same concept different scenario of a game.. love you guys 💚💚
You should play ABZU- you would love it
32:22 My favorite part. lolz
im a massive fan of Sky, so watching you play this made me very happy
edit: now that ive seen the playthrough im confused why this game costs $5 dollars and sky is free, considering that their basically the same game, i would even go as far as saying that sky is better as it has a longer play time and more content.
Journey was made 10 years ago, different platform at that time (PS3). And Sky is "free" if you chose not to buy IAP's...no IAP's in Journey which cost $35 at release in 2012 (physical edition bundled with Flower and flOw) P.S. I have over 1200 hours in Journey...there is more to the game than you see here :)
I'm so glad you got to play this!
Shadow of the colossus would be a great game to play on stream.
The remake from Bluepoint is beautiful.
If you liked Journey you should also play Abzu!
Now you should really play The Unfinished Swan. It is a game from the same company as What remains of Edith Finch and it is so good.
