God, how I absolutely adore this game. The game's visuals and story had me enraptured throughout its entire play-through and left me ruminating after it had ended. The game progressed unexpectedly quickly; it was over before I even knew it. Perhaps, this is because I was so engrossed in the gameplay. On a side note, I wonder how fares the other traveler that I spent those 1.5 hours with. While we did not have a chance to exchange words, I hope all is well with that person. Thank you for creating such a beautiful game. Journey will definitely be a favorite of mine for many years to come.

While streaming this game to friends for a good 2 hours and a half, I was very talkative. Like an enthusiastic fool, I rambled to myself and others about how I would spend my days as Talma.

By the end of the game, I was quiet with nothing to say.

P2W, desync, ERPers, blah blah blah. It's still a good game. The graphics are beautiful and the character customization is worth the hype. There's a reason why it's normal for people to have over 2k+ hours on this game and spend a percentage of their paychecks on pearl shop items. Some aspects of this game may not be for you, but others will find what they enjoy in this game because there's so much to do. There's a lot of PvE and PvP with social/community aspects to enjoy as well. I think anyone who likes looting or obtaining gains from the fruits of their labor will enjoy this game too.

Personally, I enjoyed the gear progression, PvP, and guild/community opportunities. Life-skilling was painful and boring for me, but a lot of people enjoy that and make a lot of silver off of it too. Anyway, just try the game and at least play until you get your awakening before you quit.
