Life's Journey

Great games like this only come along once and awhile.

I can't remember the last time I was emotionally moved to the extent that Journey has made me.

This game has simple controls, beautiful HD graphics (which are simple), and a musical score that is on par with Mozart's The Magic Flute.

What is it that makes this game so great and revolutionary?

Quite simply... life. I won't go into too much detail, because to do so would spoil the game and ruin the emotional aspect of the game. However, if you finish this game with dry eyes, then you have no soul.

Author's note: I would like to thank Austin Wintory (@awintory), Journey's composer, for being incredibly accessible to fans of this game and just a great guy!
