From Wikipedia:
Journey is a video game developed by Thatgamecompany exclusively for the PlayStation 3 and which is distributed on the PlayStation Network. The game features the player as a robed figure in a vast desert, journeying towards a mountain in the distance. Along the way the player can meet other players on the same journey; the two players can assist each other, but cannot communicate via speech or text and are not shown each others' names until after completion. The game was released on March 7, 2012 for PlayStation Plus subscribers, and was fully released on March 13. It has been met with significant critical acclaim. Journey is the last game made under a three game contract between Thatgamecompany and Sony, the first two being Flow and Flower.

The only multiplayer that makes you like the person on the other side.
@@sweeperchick lol i'm 4 years late, but that just happened ;)
@Mλtheus S you’re never late to experience the wonders of Journey.
@@mynameis6575 dude were desame I just bought this game last Friday XD it's Sooo stunning

Journey : The first walking simulator to make me cry
Rofl literaly. xD
Me too 😩 I only watched someone's let's play of this, but every time I feel like crying..
+Jesuchrist Von Piro Yes it does. Maybe pay attention next time, this isn't Call of Duty.
+Jesuchrist Von Piro well i hope it was just sarcasm.. if so.. this "piece of shit" as you call it have plot, it's about your life, so it means your life is "piece of shit then" :) if you can't understand message of this game then just get the fuck out and forget you ever saw this game.
+Jesuchrist Von Piro pay attention in class+life "next time"
My friend you have no idea how these words touched me. People have been consistently writing some moving words for the past year of JOURNEY's release and it never ceases to leave me speechless. You have deeply affected me today.
I must say I don't think I can lay claim to your experience. At best, I created a doorway, but ultimately you walked through it. You felt what you did because it was already inside, lying dormant. I am honored to have helped in some way, but you did it all yourself.
Thank you for creating this soundtrack, it makes my imagination fly far away, it really touches my soul, i cry everytime :)
I did felt something that transcended through me. I can’t explain it properly but your music helped me reach something great.
Thank you
I did!
It’s a masterpiece.
When I was a little red cloak, I met a stranger garbed in white. He showed me everything: the hidden places of all the glowing symbols, the most breathtaking views, how to ride the cloth fish ... and he was sooo positive the whole time. Every time I got a new glowing symbol he'd chime and run in circles around me like no one in the world could possibly be any prouder. And when we came to Apotheosis, spinning in flight around each other, finally reaching the top ... he drew a heart for me in the snow. And I chimed so excitedly, retraced his heart, ran around him as he chimed back and spun around me. Like I wanted to cry, he was the best stranger I've ever met ... I didn't want to walk through the light because I knew that would be the last time I saw the stranger. I swear, this game can end wars if it tried. I miss my companion, I don't remember his username exactly, it must've been something like M3TAL_HEAD, haha :) So wherever you are buddy, you're the best, luv ya.
Best love story this year, every year.
np
that was beautiful... ;^;
Twilight ain't got shit on this comment :p
i just cried so hard right now
I am not sure how to describe the feeling of playing through this game with someone that I will never know.
I had the same feeling but the more you play the more you get along with strangers.Even if you are older you can get along why not even invite them to your house
I believe it is wonder
I don't know how to describe it either
I pretty much played the game in its entirety with the same person.
Luckily I hit record when I first saw them and I will upload it to you tube and maybe just maybe the friend I and on this beautiful journey will find it
That moment when you see another player for the first time, and you are both jumping around each other without saying a word, and you can tell they are just as happy to see you as you are happy to see them. The connection you share, together fighting and traveling along trying to stay with each other till the very end. You don't even know their name, gender, creed, religion, etc. It's just you and another random person sharing an experience you will never forget. An adventure in cyberspace, the internet, with no stats, no scores, no leaderboards, no killing, just an adventure with your and another person making your way to the top of the world. What a feeling, as tears of joy, pour down your face and you feel like you have done something so special and enjoying the music and the scenery passing by in instants, evading dangers, and the sense of joy you feel as you experience this with another human being, without even seeing their face, you know they are feeling the same sort of joy. Masterpiece.
Perfect way to put it. I have beaten this game a dozen times and even made my Dad, who was 64 at the time, come watch me play and he stayed until I finished it. He never liked watching me play any games.
I am crying at 6 am right now reading these comments and about to replay this today.
It’s the perfect game, I always find myself listening to this soundtrack in hard times.
Love how this is the universally shared feeling that this game gave people. Masterpiece indeed
It's not all about the destination it's all about the journey
oh is that a pun
Yes very true but also WHAT THE HELL IS AT THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN
ExplodingJellyfish the end of the journey. The end of the cycle. The start of rebirth.
I didn't understand the old saying until I found this game.
Life before death,
Strength before weakness,
Journey before destination.
"What exactly do you do in Journey, like what's it about?"
"Well, your character starts out in a desert and tries to get to a mountain, and then you find God."
"So your character is just trying to find god?"
"No. Your character is trying to get to a mountain. The player is the one who finds god."
Aw, hello old friend. You have many good years ahead of you.
That's deep
This game has nothing to do with deities. It's about discovery of the self, not fantasy.
@@RenegadeShepTheSpacer DAYUM
@@RenegadeShepTheSpacer Journey is made with the intention of God ( perhaps not the God you know of )
Tho you do not know - You will some day ( I know )
"GAMES ARE ART!"
"No, they're not"
"Have you played Journey?"
"What's Journey?"
"Yeah, that's what I thought"
Sven Bätz Journey, Bioshock and Dark Souls are like the Prime Examples for why Videogames are an art form
Shadow of the Colossus too!
Or Ori And The Blind Forest
Journey ,bioshock, dark souls,ori
In my top 5 games
Like you guys read my mind....
@@lrgamer1224
Journey, Dark Souls, Ori & The Blind Forest, and Hollow Knight are the best examples of videogames as an art form imo.
To the first companion I've played with, we may never see each other again but know that you will always find me at the top of this mountain....
I hope I hear this music when I eventually see my Dad again. I miss him.
I'm sorry for your loss. I know he is looking down on you with pride and admiration. All you can do is keep moving forward until the day comes when you get to see him again
_Austin Wintory - Apotheosis:_ the background music of Heaven.
Keep moving, don't let yourself go man, when the time is right you'll see him again but he is watching you from above and he still loves you don't forget that bro.
You indeed will, friend. He will arrange your meeting, I'm sure. Have faith. Blessings.
What happened to your dad
Not religious, but if there is a heaven i would imagine this is what it sounds like.
leonthesleepy Same here
The universe is heavenly and i could imagine traveling through it with this song playing in the background.
+leonthesleepy Same thing
This music truly has in it heaven atmosphere( only if we knew what it really means) and it kind of make us feel like we are united with God and residing in Him. Something breathtaking along with Hans Zimmer's "Faith" and "In The Begining". What a miracle. May He save you, friends.
I want to buy the PS4 because of the remastered version.. iv never felt this way about a game, I haven't touched a console in years.
I wish I could forget this game just to experience it for the first time again.
If I could fly, this would be the song I would want playing in the background.
Ever since I was a little girl, the one thing I wanted most in the world was to be able to fly. And you couldn't be more right...if that was ever able to happen to me...this song is no less than perfect to be played in the background.
gabygirl1212 it's your spirit's necessary, but it's trapped in your body(
alucard0712 No. If you close your eyes. You drown out the world. Take a deep breath. You can feel the world move around you. As if flying through a vast unending cosmos, to move beyond time, to feel the flow of the universe all around you. No drugs necessary, just the right temperament, and a perfectly still mind. It is quite a feeling.
Savannah Kirk I always fly in lucid dreaming... I love it.. I have woken up to sleep paralysis from it though, the most dreadful moment of my life.
Me too.
It took 30 years but i finally played a game that made me cry.
I am so lucky the first time i played this i found someone who obviously also didn't play the game and wanted to explore. What a beautiful game.
It broke me too. It is nice to see that more people love this game. If you want another emotional game try That dragon, Cancer. Made me cry so hard.
It's kinda sad that this core feature from this game was only truly possible on PS3, I was lucky to have had it too, I own this game on PS4 and Steam just because it's awesome and I play it from time to time, but it's multiplayer experience is not magic like it used to be anymore
try mother 3
To me it was Titanfall 2... I was always so cold... Trying to avoid emotions... Trying not to get too attached to anyone... Now? I stopped... And all it took was a single companion who no matter how much i Tried not to... I got attached...
This is literally one of the most powerful games ever created, and one of, if not, THE best games ever made
Just curious.
Why?
@@Nalhy Play it, you wont't regret it
@@adane773 I play it.
But I see nothing more than epic music and pretty colors, I just wondering why people consider this art. I don't trying to be rude tho :)
@@Nalhy Art, just like beauty, is very subjective.
Sometimes, art is meant to talk about complicated stuff, new (or old) ideas explored from someone else's point of view.
Sometimes, art is meant to be history, and a way to remember.
Sometimes, art is meant to show our devotion to a cause, and to celebrate that cause.
And sometimes, it's only meant to be beautiful.
People consider this art, because, to them, it's just that beautiful. The music is independently beautiful. The visuals, too. And the use of interactivity in Journey is something very special. All of it combined in a single experience might be enough to consider it art.
There's no explaining why people consider something beautiful : it CAN NOT be explained, by definition.
@@Nalhy i see journey as art for Sharing a journey with some one you will probably never Meet,feel a deep relationship with someone you dont even know speaks your language,to me thats art
3:24 That bell makes me melt into a puddle every time
5:50 for me
That Bell, that piece of moment is the part of the Game is my motivation for to play Journey!
1:12 This was the moment where I wanted to turn to my partner, with tears in my eyes, say "We made it, man... f**k yeah!" And we go flying off screaming at the top of our lungs. To say this game and this soundtrack are perfect together is an understatement.
Id nut punch you if I was your partner. Sack up man!
Man up and suck it up, man.
One of the best momwnts in the music.
@@LTG22 @Random (haha, clever name) ... you guys can’t tell me you weren’t feeling these exact emotions yourselves.
@@theamericanyoutuber 6 years later...no, Im a functional stable adult.
The artists gave the game its beauty, but the soundtrack gave the game life.
I had the honor of hearing this be played live conducted by Austin Wintory himself. It was an indescribable experience. I sobbed through the whole song. This truly is one of my favorite music pieces I've ever heard.
Marissa Scalero gay
Flynn Lachendro You're right, it's very joyful.
(p.s. Get a life that doesn't include attempting to degrade people for having emotions.)
+CampingforCool41 Say that someone is gay is to degradate?
Juan Ramón Acién Martínez
It depends on the intent. People that randomly call people they don't know "gay" tend to do it with the intent of putting down that person or puffing themselves up.
Well, but say that someone is gay isn't bad. However, in Spain (my shitty country), "gay" is a bad expression (for some people). I prefer "homosexual".
I’m not even joking when I say this, I cry every single time I listen to this. This is easily my favorite track in any video game because the emotions that it brings are so powerful.
I cry every time also! It’s such a powerful song.
Same. 🥺❤️
The transition at 3:14 is just spectacular, oh man
resetreflectt Absolutely! It's one of the best moments in this masterpiece of a soundtrack!
Euphoric
I was going through a bad spell of depression when I decided to play Journey for the first time, desperate for some form of escape. It's impact on me was surreal, from the gorgeous visuals to the breath-taking music. I still remember connecting with some random player and feeling like we had some connection. Journey honestly made me fall in love with video games again.
Nunca nem joguei o jogo, mas essa música é inacreditável
to everyone leaving their stories in the comments: you remind me that people can be wonderful and beautiful and kind. Thank you.
to austin wintory: every time this track ends i cry. every time. thank you so much.
A short story.
I wasn't sure who I was, or where I had come from, but I knew the Mountain, and that was my goal.
My story began as every story does; at the beginning, taking baby steps to my goal. I didn't dare venture far but, frankly, I didn't need to. At that time, the path was well laid out for me.
The first time I met The Ancient, I learned what I suspected; that the Mountain was the goal of this, my Journey.
My scarf short for now, wafted gently against my back. The Fallen Bridge stood ahead, and beyond, the Mountain loomed.
Here, I think, I began to grow up. My path lay obvious in front of me, my goal beyond.
And yet, despite this, I could explore.
Scattered about the ravine, crossed by many bridges, were fragments of fallen Guardians. Old, dying Cloth fluttered from it in the gentle wind. The smaller ones, the Fish, waited inside, and helped me along when freed. They completed the bridge for me, aided me on my Journey.
But then came the Desert.
It was a time of joy and fun.
It was a time of fear and aprehension.
What came next? Over the next dune? In the next ruin? What do I do know?
The Mountain was always there, always the goal. I would skip happily with the Cloth I came across, as Dolphins now, but also the small Fish. My Scarf grew longer, and now fluttered a distance behind me. Sometimes I found my self joyful and playful. Other times, I was terrified and small. Ocasionally, I questioned the Ancestor, even the Mountain.
I met someone in the Desert. Who it was I cannot say, but they stayed with me until the end. Until the Mountain.
Finally, across many miles of the Desert, we found the Sandstorm, a foundry for Guardians. The Ancestor met with both of us, and told more of the story of what came before.
The City lay immensely before me. This was the highlight of the Journey, the staging ground for beyond. Here the Dolphins and Fish dipped playfully into the sand. Journeying. Just as we were.
To the Mountain.
To the End.
Me and my companion had become good friends now, and we dared not stray too far from the other. Or Scarfs, longer now, flapped behind us in the rushing wind. This was the golden time of the Journey. The time when nothing was wrong, and we had everything we needed. Our path was clear. We knew what to do.
And then that ended, and all was unknown.
The Ancestor spoke more of the story, of the peace.
And of the War.
The Catacombs were always dark, and little light shone through. We found havens, and Cloth that hid. It hid from us.
It hid from Others.
Beyond was the Staging Grounds of the Guardians. They loomed, gathering dust and sand.
But not all.of them were dead.
These times were times of fear, of not knowing what would happen. The Journey might have failed, for we would be trapped.
But there was still hope.
The Temple saved us from the monsters behind. The Temple harbored our light, and protected it. We were safe there, with its aid.
The Temple filled, first with the Light, then with the Cloth. Fish, Dolphins, Jellyfish, a Whale, all there, safe in the Temple. Finally, we reached the top.
We learned that the future was already history.
And that our Journey wasn't done.
Great hardship was felt on the Mountain. The wind whipped, tearing our cloth, and the cold sapped our light. Many times, we had to huddle together to survive. Graves littered the slopes.
Many other creatures were there. On the way to end their Journey.
Too many never made it.
The Mountains cold was unrelenting, and many froze in the ascent.
Still others were cast down.
Guardians patrolled the slopes, tearing apart those they found.
The climb was hard. Many times, we were frozen, attacked, and had to hide in holes, or were simply blown away.
But the Summit, oh, the Summit, the Journeys End, was to important.
The storm blew everything away; Guardians, the Cloths. Only we were left going.
We kept going
And we kept going
And we kept going
Until we weren't.
We fell into the snow. We were frozen through. We could barely move. We expected to die.
The Ancestors stood about us, watching us. They lent us what light they had.
And we flew.
Past the storms, past the cold, past the machines that sought to consume us.
We flew for the Summit.
And then we were there.
What a glorious place it was! Shining with warmth and light, overflowing with energy and life. We continued up.
And we were there.
We were at the he Mountains peak.
We did not stop.
Our destination is beyond
Was beyond.
Is here.
We were here, at the End.
And then we weren't anywhere.
Rushing, rushing, rushing. Great wind all about.
The Mountain behind, behind, behind. Going away.
The Journey in reverse. Down the Mountain, the Temple, the City, the Desert, the Bridge. The sand littered with graves. Mine wasn't there. Mine was on the Mountain.
From the End to the Beginning. The reverse of all stories. Yours, mine, the worlds. Beginning to End, and back again.
Almost there, almost. No memory, only purpose, only will.
The Journey lay ahead.
I wasn't sure who I was, or where I had come from, but I knew the Mountain, and that was my goal.
Purest thing i've ever read ... Thanks for this.. I'm glad there's people like uu in this world ❤may you have a great journey ❤❤
"Short story" bro you could write a novel with this if you wanted
This is good! ^^’
chills man.
Dude, if you post it i the browser you'll get so many likes, which if they were money you will be richer than Bill Gates!
The night that I decided to commit suicide, I listened to this masterpiece for the first time. It changed me forever, now I'm actively involved in helping kids with social issues.. All that I have to say is thank you, for saving me.
If all human emotions just became one being this is what they'd become
I cry every time, and that's no exaggeration.
When I was just a red cloak, I met a figure clad in white. Graceful and elegant and through the sands, the mountains, and past the mechanical beasts, they were as my shield. When we descended below the surface into the depths of the unknown and long forgotten, they were my light in the darkness, keeping me safe.
And then they glitched me into a wall and chirp-laughed at me for 5 minutes and flew away.
This is kinda sad
RIP lol
“They had us in the first half not gonna lie”
There's something about that bell/gong at 3:24. It sounds like heaven.
Guilherme Eddino That's the moment where you break through the fog and turn the corner and see the final ascent to the peak....It's my favorite moment in the whole game (except maybe for the amazing music cue in the tower section where you raise the "water" level and the little fish cloths combine to form short bridges as you move along them).
+CampingforCool41 Also when you slide down the sand and you have that amazing golden view. but when they walk into the light is the saddest of all moments
+Guilherme Eddino That's a lot of what I think of this game, it's like leaving everything behind to ascend to heaven. This music is so uplifting and full of hope, makes me want to start my own journey to find heaven. :) It also somewhat saddens me, since I still have so much of my life to live and I can't see heaven yet. :( This music makes me want to go right now! XD
Also the strum at 0:27 with ear buds on high volume sends chills down my spine
I get chills every time!!!
Cried so hard at this part that I had to stop the video twice and all I could think was, "You did it little guy! You made it!" :,)
Actually, [Spoiler alert]... He is dead. That's the thematic of the game. He leans toward death and the ending of is life. The whole journey is a allegory of life. First he can't move freely, like a baby, then first friends and freedom of movement (youth), then the first danger appears (adulthood), then, he is restrained in is movement and habilities (elderhood), then death. The ending can be considered as life after death or a post mortem dream.
Ryo Hazuki dont force your own interpretation of the game onto others. Not saying its a bad interpretation, but above all this game is an intensily personal experience that leaves a unique feeling for every player.
I'll hear this song when I die...
i never asked for this...
Kinda do in the game.
you wont hear anything when you die
I heard this song when i'm leaving someone...
I have just played Journey for my first time. I have gone through my first journey.
When this song played, I was left speechless by the immense beauty. Everything was just so breathtaking, no words could justify describing anything... just... _reaching your destination_ after all hope is lost... being able to fly again... to enjoy the light... to fly with dragons... to soar majestically into the light...
We were complete strangers, and we may end up being complete strangers, but I do have to thank the stranger online who helped me through my first experience with Journey. We never spoke, and we probably never will, but thank you for being a great companion through my travels. It meant much more to me that we have traveled together. I'm sorry I was such a troublesome beginner traveler, but you and I have made it. We've done it. Thank you, friend.
4:45 Its at this point where me and a red cloak that I have been guiding end our journey. He shall become a white cloak after this journey, guided by me and others to the hidden symbols, to guide other red cloaks just as I have. This is the unwritten rule of white cloaks, to guide all red cloaks and to pass along secrets that we have uncovered.
*****
If you are fortunate to find one of us, we will guide you.
thank you white cloak ! MWAH'!
It is also an unwritten rule that red cloaks die first
Donavon Ho We never allow harm to come to red cloaks. If we allow harm to come to them, we will have failed our mission. If need be, we can make an exception for red cloaks who like to test fate with the guardians. One of the best ways to learn is by error.
RULERULTAMIS I became a white cloak today. And a red cloak came to me for guidence. Man the feeling was awesome! He was afraid of the machines and i told him that everything was fine, he was hiding. And i went a little forward so he can come and see that by himself.
I strongly believe that this is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.
The build-up from 3:10 - 3:14 and then I just loose it at 3:15. If I don't get goosebumps, I get teary eyes. No matter how much I listen to it over and over, I can see my red-caped avatar fly in joy towards the mountain. I am buying a PS3 so I can replay this again. Thank you Austin Wintory for making the world beautiful!
Same. Fav part. 🥺
The ending sequence of this game is so amazing.
I bought Journey when it came out for the PS4, as I had heard about it being incredible. As I played it, the music, the atmosphere, the subtle cutscenes that allowed you to interpret what was happening for yourself, and the anonymous multiplayer all came together to make one of the greatest experiences of my life. It is unlike any other game, very literally, as it is hardly a game. But, it wouldn't be able to be done in a movie. That feeling of going on a Journey with someone who you will never see or speak to was incredible. And every time you got off of each others' screens, you tried so hard to find each other again; it was magical. And, if worst comes to worst, when they sit down and then disappear and log off, it's one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever experienced. Thank you to the person that made it to the end with me. I will never know you, but I will never forget you.
I bought it on PS3 because I have played a couple games by that company, and they are all beautiful games. Flower was honestly one of the weakest, only because of the controls, sixaxis on the ps3 controller. Though even then it was by far the most functional sixaxis I have ever used in any game. Though I think Imma buy it again on the PS4 anyway even though I 100% the PS3 version.
I hate it that I can't get enough of this game. The part where this song plays is probably the most beautiful and sad part of the whole game. It's when you finish. You say goodbye to your companion. So emotional.
Probably the best designed game ever. Simple yet deep, short yet fulfilling, beautiful yet deceiving. This game is truly one of the 7 wonders of gaming. :)
3:42 - 4:00 the viola part makes me want to cry
A purer definition of triumph there has never been.
For me, 6:18 is the best part of the whole game. The moment you step into the light leaves me in awe every single time.
+Finn C LITERALLY SAME I CRY EVERY TIME
This game changed how I think about life
Is 2020, the people in the world is in quarantine. Im in my house, thinking about the future, then I downloaded this game for free. I played it, i finished it and enyoyed it. My partner in this aventure always are by my side and we clear the game together. My emotions rise in tears, the bonds between us were strong. I made a new friend in real life. Actually im listening this masterpiece in my window, and i see a couple of birds flying together far away in the sky and I inmediately think: "those birds are my new friend and i playing JOURNEY".
One of the best games I've ever played. Truly magical beyond words.
No other game has made me feel the way Journey does, even after all these years.
If ever I'm granted the gift of flight, this song will play in my head during the discovery of my newly found power.
Its free now on PS+. Absolutly worth the subscribtion. The random stranger who played with me the last half together. I never will see him, never speak to him, but the experience we had together felt like that of a lifetime. When i got hit by a bigmonster in the snowy mountains and my scarf was deminished, he waited for me, he didn't gave up on me. I have never seen or experienced that in any other game. Or when he got hit the first time, i literally yelled: "Oh shit buddy, you okay?!?!" instead of in any other multiplayer game to redicule him.
This game is pure magic
Most beauty comment i ever see. This game is just pure gold
Its amazing how you and I both had the same experience. This game is literally a staple and a heartful memory. I, who has played Games from Zelda, to The last of us, Mortal Kombat, etc. And that has EXTREME love for a the game series of Zelda Fell in love with this game in literal seconds of entering the world. My feelings sinked in, seeing fellow companions raised my emotions and seeing them go felt like a train wreck.. This game is more than just a game.. Its a feeling, its a memory.. Its beautiful.. and no one.. Not a single human being, can deny that.
I might as well say you were the one I shared my Journey with, because we both experienced the same kind of bond. Actually, we all did, and I think what it really does is make ALL of us that one person we had the chance to play with--we're ALL connected now by that memory of friendship.
+Hunter Koontz Preach
my first run through this game... i was fortunate enough to have the same type of player from cloud bridge repair till the end of the game... i ended up adding him... fucking awesome dude.
still gives me shivers whenever I play this song
I completed the game for the first time last night. After the hardship endured in the later parts of the game, the euphoria I felt at 3:16 was unlike anything I've ever experienced in a game before. What a beautiful and emotional game.
This game is the only game that can bring me to tears still after so many years. It means so much to me and I don’t know why.
Every time. 🥺🥺
It’s a life lesson, it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever experienced from a game.. I always bring myself to listen to the soundtrack. It’s perfect
Gorgeous piece of music, and it belongs to a great game. Anyone who thinks video games can't be art needs to play Journey.
Okami and Journey is what I point to when some mouth breather claims video games can't be art.
***** Let's not forget about Bastion.
Abigail Rizzy
In my opinion, Okami is one of the most beautiful games ever made, and not just aesthetically.
SoraIsMyHomeboy I agree. Okami excels in visuals, writing and music. All of these are individually seen as art so it seems foolish that some people would deny that video games can be art.
Abigail Rizzy And Flower its also from the guys who made Journey (easter egg in the game look for it if you havent found it)
This is not music, it's a masterpiece
I can not stop crying.
Hey everyone! Scrolling through the recent comments is, as ever, deeply emotional for me. I will simply never get used to these amazing things you say. Thank you again ... and again ... and again ...
I'll be posting some updates on my newest game THE BANNER SAGA on my channel this coming week. Really excited about this game :)
... and again ... and again ...
The chord change at 4:14 gives me fucking goosebumps. I played this game all the way through after a couple hits of acid once and when that part of the song hit when I was climbing up the mountain at the end of the game I literally shed a tear
This. This is what I believe you hear when you pass away and reach eternity.
Mabye man, just mabye
I'm pretty sure I've listened to this song more than 1000 times, by now. Still get goosebumps.
To the people who helped me a couple of hours ago with my first experience... you have my deepest thanks. Thank you for keeping up with me, thank you for showing me all the stuff that were hidden, but more importantly thank you for being there. Thanks to you, this experience was more special. I also hope that I wasn't annoying with my constant pushing
forward, and sometimes ignoring you - I only wanted to know more, experience more.
yeah... this game is fucking intense
whats this game about?
Zamilovanej Blázen hard to explain. the story is very esoteric but basically its about a main character trying to take a journey to the top of a mountain to step into the light. there is no dialogue in the game... not a single word is spoken. I personally think the game is either about transcendence or about death and the process of crossing over. That's my opinion though; there are many theories out there about what the game means and im not sure that there is an official interpretation released by the game's creators. its up to your interpretation. make no mistake, this game is a work of pure art. with any great work of art, the true meaning is usually up to the interpreter.
Zamilovanej Blázen, you can't really put the game into words. There is no verbal text whatsoever in the game. The more you play, the more you get the storyline. It really is unique in my opinion.
Zamilovanej Blázen Life and death
I'm never going to forget how I felt when I collapsed on the mountain, fired up to the summit, and finally reaching the peak of the mountain, not looming in the distance miles away, but just within reach. Unbelievable theming.
Never in my life will I find a more beautiful piece of music. And, never in my life will I find a more beautiful game. Journey is a masterpiece.
The end of this song always chokes me up
This Is Not Music..... This Is Art....
Music is art.
Roge Garcia agree
This is what art looks like when it's almost perfect - made with heart and soul, in the careful hands of a master artist. Glorious, isn't it? This is an example of why art needs to be taken more seriously, and why artists must strive to the utmost to produce the most high-quality, glorious works they can muster :)
I just played this game a few days ago, It was the most enjoyable/emotional game experience i have ever had. So far anyway.
Gozuto33 I hope you are saying "me too" and not the horrible Mass Erect 2.
I can approve to that. I almost cried.
Welcome to the world post-journey. It's a beautiful place :)
me too
The soundtrack to the best moment in gaming history.
When I die, I want this to be played at my funeral. Because even though I'm dead, my journey has not ended.
I don't consider this as a game, i consider this as a spiritual journey that changes our lifes and how we live
Played this at the beginning of the worst depression of my life that left me wanting to be dead. However the ending of this game kept reminding me that in the end it's all going to be okay.
After all this time, this song never ceases to bring a tear to my eye.
Oh my gosh, i'm crying....
+Mai Nguyen kim Congratulations. You possess the gift of understanding music. never forget; the chords
BinaryExistence COOL
We really need this game on the Switch.
Is it sad how it makes me happier to find someone in Journey than in real life
Completely normal. In journey we don't know anything about the other person. In real life, we at least know what they look like and based on that we can sometimes get to know what kind of person they are. Plus, we see people everday so it's just a different feeling😁
I had listened to this track prior to playing the game and it was amazing, but after playing it... my goodness. The scene where this track plays is one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed in my life. All the hairs of my body spiked like a porcupine.
Being the emotionally unstable person that I am....At the very start of the game when we saw the first glipse of the blistering sands and the high and mighty mountain top with celestial light...All of a sudden I associated myself with the character...I saw its journey as my own...imagined a warm dustry air pushing my scarf...I thought to myself "If I reach the top of the mountain I will meet my Dida (Grandma) again...She will be waiting for me at the top of the mountain with the same love and warmth she once bestowed upon me..."... Once the Apotheosis started I felt a surge of emotion that I cant describe with words...an existential punch to the gut...Without any shiny realistic graphics...those 7 minutes felt more real than anything I have every experienced in media...I wept like a baby...overcomed with joy, sorrow, wonder and resolution...Music is the closest thing to magic and I felt that for 7 minutes streight...I cant thank Austin Wintory enought for crafting such a soul-touching music...
Journey seems to represent a persons life. They are born, they journey through their life, they die, their spirit ascends...and then, they walk into the light and are born as a new person, ready to journey through a new life.
that bell gives me chills every time
Last night a random guy on my steam friend's list gifted me this game along with a very weird note. He wrote "No clue - Enjoy da gif - Best wishes, George Flyod". Obviously I was pretty put off by this note. I hadn't talked to the guy in months, as I only ever added him to queue for a couple of csgo games. I may have been super confused, but I was also not about to refuse a free game. I opened the game and streamed it to a friend of mine on discord. Both of us were super confused with what you were supposed to do in the game, and I was planning to do one of the "levels" and just go to bed. I started the game at 11:30 pm, and told myself "one more area" atleast 3 times while playing. By about 1:00 am this song came on and made me teary-eyed. Even if this was a very short game, it may be the most moving experience I've ever had and all from a gift I was given that was so strange I nearly turned it down.
"I'M NOT CRYING! I JUST... CAUGHT SOMETHING IN MY EYE!"
"what did you catch?"
"TEARS!!!"
+Dirty Potter OK Papyrus
Including Journey, two of the greatest video games of the current generation. =,] Absolutely love 'em both.
"I have met God, and he is other people."
2023 and this track is still beautiful, just like the game by the way. Forever in my heart :)
Peace and love to all.
and that's when you realize why you were on the journey in the first place. when everybody's jaw drops. when you just let beauty fill you in. what a game, what an experience.
I wan't this to be to end credits of my life or the end credits of this decade.
my only playthrough of this game, i met my first and only stranger in the room that slowly fills up as you ascend. we played through the rest of the game together, up until the staircase at the end where you have to beat the wind and they just couldnt figure it out. i wish they had kep trying. we were so close. i made it the rest of the way, but it was with a bittersweet taste in my mouth.
havent played since.
I started my journey about a year ago.. my first play through it hurt. It made me confront every single thing happening in my head. It forced me to process everything that has happened up to that point. To this day; My journey still calls me when I need to process situations and people, my own emotions, ideals, it shines a light on everything I have done and yet to still do. That I find myself mentally plying journey when I listen to “Apotheosis” or “Nascence”
It reminds me where I’ve come from; where I’ve been and still all that lies ahead.
We played it around the same time for the first time. I completely agree with what you’ve said, it’s an utterly unmatchable emotional experience and I envy anyone playing it for the first time.
Played it for the first time today. When my companion sat down, I jokingly sat in front of him, like we were having a conversation. My giggle turned into a frown in a second when I saw him disappear.
You know why this game is beautiful? The purity of the comments here. Just pure love, joy and appreciation. And connection. All the beautiful vibes
3 years later, it still makes me tear up and sends chills down my spine. The same rush of dopamine, doesn't get old.
another 3 years later... it still does
Even now, it’s giving me chills
@@cubetiger6460another 4 years later, it still does.
@@BG03_ so real
Apotheosis, Greek: to become divine, to reach divinity, to have divinity ascribed upon you.
multiplayer of this game perfectly sums up what is interaction between souls - your soul is unable to find the way to communicate with another soul, and speech isnt the way. all you can do, is to wonder together and show your soul's intentions by actions.
Who’s here in 2019? I finally bought ps4 and left XBOX . For this game and last of us. I’ve wanted to play this game for a really really long time and I’ve finally in played it in 2019. And I hope every single one of you guys can play this masterpiece. Much Love For Y’all❤️❤️
Right here. It's sad because no one plays anymore.
I really want to meet someone on journey, I’m sad
It may be your server or something. I met five different people today in journey.
I love that moment at 1:08 in the game where it feels the entire experience just takes one big breath before leading into the beautiful finale.
No words can describe the beauty of this game by merely saying "it is the most beautiful game in the world"... The words haven't even been invented to describe the words that haven't been invented... This is the best of the best, and with the PS4 adding more vibrant detail... There will be nothing better.
XxMinka This makes me wish i could favorite comments. Did you get that from something?
So powerful and moving
"If you follow where the paths lead, you're only going where others have gone before you."
Never play the game. But my brother, he showed me this song. I love it so much. I can hardly breathe when I hear this song.
Same...same feeling
you should definitely play it. it's unlike anything i've ever seen.
This part of the game is the most amazing moment, in all my years of gaming, that i have ever experienced. You and your pal, floating around in this incredible heaven, each moment more amazing than the last. This music just makes this ending even more amazing. Beautiful game.
+magerr98 I know, I could stay on that mountain forever. :)
Spine tingling
Journey has tons of calming songs.
I think this is the most epic music ever made
I played this Game the first time in march while the corona thing was there. And Sony gave us this awesome Game for free. I wasnt sure if i could like a Game like this but the Soundtrack, the World and this Soundtrack Alone makes me to love this Game
I just finished it and I regret not having taken it into account before.
