About as far from a God of War game as you can get, Journey is a meditative title that offered a unique experience, unlike anything that has been released before or since. The basic premise entails the player travelling towards a distant mountain across a vast desert, with only the ability to move, jump, and briefly float. Along the way, the player also encounters other characters that similarly jump and float around, with the only communication being a series of chimes. Without spoiling anything, Journey's inimitable adventure explores a wide range of emotions, and its bittersweet end will leave you in a flurry of elation and sadness. Journey might only take around two hours to complete from start to finish, but every single moment of it is an absolute joy to play through. A strong argument for video games being art, Journey is a masterpiece that will stick in your mind for years after playing.
