20 Best PlayStation Exclusives Of The Decade

Games often get bandied about in the whole "games are art" debate, not as a negative, but a subjective discussion. Some good points are made, some aren't. But if games are art, then Journey needs framing in a museum, as metaphors go.

Journey itself is not a challenging game. It's not Soulsborne, it's not a competitive multiplayer. It's just what the title says it is: a journey, from point A to point B, with no real narrative. You play a robed, silent and nameless protagonist, who's sole purpose is their trek to the mountain seen in the far distance.

That is essentially it. It may not sound like much, but it doesn't need to be. The only multiplayer element is another mute mate joining you, but that's it. Otherwise, it's just a beautifully peaceful feast for the eyes as you traverse different biomes to reach the end of your journey.

One could argue that it offers no purpose as a game, but then they'd be missing the point. Journey defies convention by being just that: a peaceful, serene journey to take in.
