The ending is actually even better if you run into another player. I ran into this other wanderer about a third into the game and we stuck together all the way to the end. I remember right before this part, both of us getting beaten down by the snow, exhausted, barely able to go on. And then he dropped. I chirped weakly at him to keep going, but he couldn't get up. Unable to go on, I fell too, and the screen whited out. Next thing I know, the white cloaks show up and we're flying through the air again, using each other's songs to propel higher towards our goal. We land and see our final destination in front of us, and chirping happily, we make our way into the light together. It sounds so cheesy when I think about it, but I don't think I would have remembered it as much if it had just been me. Even if I didn't know anything about this other person, we two strangers made it to the end side by side, and even if we could only communicate through the press of a button, it was all we needed to know that this game had delivered.

Journey was the most amazing 90 minutes of my gaming life. I bawled like a baby at the end and laughed at the same time. Its such a powerful game. But seeing it on here doesn't count for having seen the end of the game, you have to have walked from the beginning and climbed to the very summit of that elusive mountain, only then is the real power and majesty of this moment made manifest....so good.

That's why videogames ARE art.

Aidil Omar As I understand you, my friend. I did not know about the existence of this game until recently. Only recently I heard a song miraсleofsound and became interested in the game. He began listening to soundtracks and came across this passage. It is a pity that I do not have a PS3 or PS4

I imagine that Journey is simply about life. The mountain represents our drive to live and to be alive. We keep going because we must keep going. There's a reason to keep going and no matter how small or unnoticeable that reason is, from the scope of a loved one, all the way down to a gut feeling, we just go.

I believe it goes more profound than just life. From my point of view it's about the work of the soul, of the enlightenment. When the night/storms seems the darkest it is that we find we're about to pass the test. There are some remarkable Vajrayana concepts in Journey.

Matteo Latorre Seeing all those other robed figures, the moments you cherished for having someone there with you, and the possibility of making A New Journey... It becomes clear why some souls, after finally reaching enlightenment, decide to stay as a guide for other souls that are still moving through their goal and help them reach it too, help them with the knowledge of what they are about to face.

7 years later and this still brings me to tears every time.

I have the tendency to draw a heart in the snow for every player I end the game with xD

The first minute, when the ancestors in white help the player. Breathtaking start for a breathtaking finale.

I like how at 3:00 you slowed down so that you broke the clouds as the crescendo happened.. That's how it happened for me when I first played and it was perfectly emotional. So your video is really nostalgic and emotional as well~

I can't think of another game that has garnered such emotion from me in such a short amount of time.

Every so often I catch myself hoping that dying feels something like this. If only... I place my hope in that something as beautiful as this can be conceived.

8 years and this ending still makes me cry

The first time I played was recently - Around three years since the game came out so I wasn't expecting to find anyone. (I had been wanting to play it for ages) When I finally got around to it, I was surprised to find a person. I ended up playing most of the game with this person, and when I lost him a few times, I freaked. It's crazy how fast you bond with people.

i remember the first time i played through this level, it was so breathtaking i felt like i couldnt breathe while warm tears were streaming down my face

This is not a game....this is an experience....you just feel....everytime....thats the best way i can explain it

Is 2020, the people in the world is in quarantine. Im in my house, thinking about the future, then I downloaded this game for free. I played it, i finished it and enyoyed it. My partner in this aventure always are by my side and clear the game together. My emotions rise in tears, the bonds between us were strong. I made a new friend in real life. Actually im listening this masterpiece in my window, and i see a couple of birds flying together far away in the sky and I inmediately think: "those birds are my new friend and i playing JOURNEY".

2020...needed to see this, again

It is true, It doesn't matter where you begin or end. it's the journey itself that matters. That said, finishing this game is one of the most, if not THE most cathartic experience I've had the pleasure to feel.

i just relaized that the last level is a combination of all the other levels.

The opening to this video is one of the most epic, beautiful, dramatic and utterly amazing moments I have experienced in a game.

This game is a masterpiece. It really shows just how amazing of a platform a game can be to convey an story. Far more powerful than a movie, or song could by itself because you feel so intimately connect to the game. It makes you part of the story. That is so beautiful.

Such beauty in the eyes for those to see, by farthest I think this is the best game of all time to show how much emotion it can put you through without dialogue!

One of the few games I've ever played where the game felt like more than just a game. I'd be lying if I said I didn't tear up from the beauty at the end.

It is not exactly a game. It’s an experience meant to make you feel. Loneliness, joy, sadness, warmth, cold, accomplishment. And it’s amazingly beautiful to look at, and the music is so perfect.

This game is great but when I first came to this stage it straight smacked me in the face. It's so emotional and so dramatic. I loved surfing through the skies with the ribbon creatures.

Think of it this way: It's the moment you realize that, you do trascend to another plane into existence. The journey, is to enjoy all the moments, places and experiences you may encounter thru' your life. Notice he dies [i think], when he gets to the top, to come back to life by the white dudes [which might be the ones that were able to trascend]. Your soul, is the one that gets over to the mountain top, because you, there, have no need to fly enymore, your scarf was removed, your soul does not belong to this world, yet; this game also talks about reincarnation, and do the things you did not do when you wre alive [is like a second chance], and see, enjoy and look at all the things you did not in that first travel you had. This game, also talks about a paradox, there's a point in which, you see a star coming out from the mountain while you're still in the desert, which might be you [or not, i dont know]. This game is art, this game is the above and beyond of all games so far.

I just realized this whole level mimics the structure and mechanics of the past levels :(((

Every time...everytime. This isn’t a game...this is an experience.

Damm this made me cry...IDK why

6:01: We have encountered many a beauty and surmounted many challenges. But unfortunately, we must part ways here. I fear I am not worthy to cross this veil. You must continue this journey alone. Safe travels, my friend.

Religion is not deception but it is truth of universe itself. Islam is what we are living. Journey uses themes and words that only Allah can create and rightfully own. We all have our own ways. Seek the truth you want to find. May you all be happy at the end.

It's like once you meet someone as a companion you both struggle through the hardship of everything and not leave each other behind at all costs, when I had a companion and walked into the light at the end slowly it made me feel like crying because of how beautiful it is. I may have never met the guy/girl but maybe some day I'll see them again, thank you companion.

Amazing track. Perfect for the scene.

These are the types of camera angle which I have searched for so long for this part! PERFECT & THOUGHTFUL! Congratulation!

This is like the final part in sky where u get reborn from eye of eden

Wowww the voyages matter not the destination^^

本当に感動したゲームでした。　音楽も映像も素晴らしかった

The music in this part of the game is unbelievable. The way is grows as you get closer to the source (or whatever it is) just lifts the entire emotion (the bells with the strings). The most unique and beautiful game I have ever played.

11 years later and i still didnt forget Propably i will never forget

Everytime I see this part of the game, tears fill my eyes

That's strange. You were probably very unlucky. I've done at least four playthroughs and everyone I met on my journeys were very graceful. Maybe we'll meet, someday.

This is not a game *this is art*

People who say video games are not art can suck it this game is proof that they can be something beautiful

Best video game sequence of all time.

This music give me a chill

I completed this game and i want to play this game forever

i cant get over it so i came again, dis is not just a game its the most beautiful experience in d world n yes EMOTIONALLY beautiful n u my frnd who r here again u also know its value.

gets me every goddamn time

Thank you for this video!

Yup, still brings a tear to my eyes

I imagine this as being sort of like what Dante's journey to the peak of the mountain of purgatory was like.

if everyone in the world played journey, there would be peace on earth!

Good job, man. Brings tears to my eyes :')

Beautiful game playing. My very favorite moment of the game.

I remember grinning a wide wet smile when I first walked through a anony-bro I played the entire game with.

Two people have no souls. The end of Journey is pure, sheer joy.

Still tears

masterpiece

3:10 - 3:40 is one of my strongest gaming memories! Blew my mind, and soul.

The times I played this it has emotionally broken me. This game is worth it.

This scene is truly the most magical scene in the game 🤩😍

This is more than a game. That is all that needs to be said.

The concept isn't the challenge you, as a player, but to show you the hardships that the wanderer has through his journey. It isn't about the difficulty, or the gameplay; it isn't even about the ending. It is, exactly as the name says, about the journey. It's an experience, not a game. It transcended the medium, because it wouldn't be half as powerful as it is, if it was a movie. Because you grow attached to your companions. Because you feel bad if you're forced to leave them behind.

JESUS! I relay shouldn't watch this after an exhausting night shift! The music made me weep like a little girl & I haven't shed a tear in years!

That's exactly how I explained it to a friend that doubted the magnificence of this experience.

If I could marry a game, it would surely be Journey.

this game is so beautiful

The title of the game "Journey" really means a journey through life from birth to death. You begin being "born" in the desert and the ultimate end of the journey is to get to the top of the mountain. The light at the top literally means stepping into the light. All of the things that happen in the game are the ups and downs that one experiences in life. Getting to the top of the mountain and going into the light means you have finished life and achieved greatness. Does that make any sense?

so absolutely beautiful

this work should have more attention the experience is nice and beautiful when (there may be some English errors in this comment)

For what it is one of the best "games" ever made, in my opinion.

I now realize there could be different ways to explain the story of the game. There's my explanation, there's yours, and many more people take something different away from playing Journey. You choose what you want the experience to be and any interpretation is perfectly valid.

i never seen something so awesome

So relaxing , I was near to fell asleep :3

this is a good game i love the launching

If cinema is the seventh art, this is the eight.

May you find peace in the mountain...

beautiful game

Oh goodness, the chills! I shave my arms, but if I had hair on them, the hair would be standing! n.n

I love this game!! I'm so glad i found it!! XD

There are some "advanced" kind of "secretive" flying moves that are pretty challenging that involve angling the camera in a specific way to fly extremely fast for long periods of time and to ascend to extreme heights. None of them displayed in this particular video, but they make the game 100 times more fun when you get the hang of them, especially when you have a skilled companion. I've completed well over 200 "journeys" into the light, and am still not bored with it. ...but, to each his own.

Highly recommend replaying several times to get your own interpretation of the "story". It's a dream to play control wise, sticking with a companion through out is an emotional and beautiful experience that never fails to make me both laugh and cry with joy.

4 people have no hearts

Anybody notice what looks like a snowy silhouette of a child's face on the bottom left around 4:30?

The end... its death... isn't it? I never played this game, but I cried whatching this.

...or stepping into the light could be the "birth", and the "journey" is you traveling as a sperm through the birth process. You're a two a dimensional being throughout the game, then when you step into the light, the game ends, and you ascend to the third dimension, aka, your "real life/self". Perhaps when we die irl, we'll ascend to the fourth dimension, and realize "this" life was all just a game as well.
