12 Stunning Video Game Locations You Must Visit Before You Die
5. The City - Journey
Traversing the rolling dunes and sand-blasted ruins of this mesmerising puzzle game, you feel like you're exploring an ancient empire that you'll never quite gain a full understanding of. It's a place of mythical beauty that you merely skim along the surface of, and yet feel profoundly affected by. As you head deeper and deeper into the city ruins, you become increasingly absorbed in the experience, activating inscrutable runes that grant you further access into its sprawl. By the time you reach the centre, you're gliding through spectacular temples and across sky-high walkways. What's profound about the place is that it's designed to only be experienced fleetingly. Your mission is to ascend the mountain in the distance, and beautiful though the city may be, it's ultimately dead and beyond understanding. Despite that, your brief time spent in it will go down as one of your finest gaming experiences.
