8 Games That Radically Changed How You See The World

2. Journey

Life can be so hectic and stressful at times that it becomes tough to step back, take a huge breath, and just appreciate the adventure in its entirety.

Journey is a wordless two-hour experience in which players traverse a beautiful landscape while heading towards a mysterious mountain in the distance. 

Throughout the adventure, players may come across others also playing through the game, but with no ability to communicate and no need to co-operate in order to make progress, there's a poignant ephemeral quality to these interactions.

In its entirety Journey feels like a simple but brilliantly effective metaphor for life, which is also a short thing filled with beauty and fleeting interactions with other human beings doing the very same thing as you.

Journey is a serene reminder to drink in the gorgeous moments, be open to others, and enjoy yourself, because it's probably later than you think.
