Aw, that's kinda sad- I absolutely adore Journey. Your experience is the reason that I typically try to ignore all of that sort of stuff unless I've already played something and want it to get that praise. It's also why I try not to overhype things to my friends.Aegidia wrote:On doctor's orders, I'm taking a few days of rest, which means I got a chance to play Journey. This is a typical example of a game that has been over-hyped. If a friend had recommended this to me, I would have LOVED it. It's beautiful and original. However, after all the 'Game of the Year', 'Games you must have played', 'Essential games' and the raving reviews etc, my overwhelming response was: "... that's it?" Such a pity.
I'm planning on replaying it a few weeks from now. I think now that I know what to expect, I will be able to appreciate it better. Like I said, it is beautiful and it has tremendous atmosphere and I'd like to spend some more time in that world.TigerLily wrote:Aw, that's kinda sad- I absolutely adore Journey.

Regarding your second post- I also love Flower. It's great to pop on every now and then to relax now that I've completed it.
I definitely understand that. The second time I played through I was able to look around more at the surroundings and take in just how pretty the scenery is. Also, did you play it online or offline? If you haven't tried it online yet, I recommend trying it. I played it online the first time I played through it and it really made a big impact on me.Aegidia wrote:I'm planning on replaying it a few weeks from now.
