Journey Review

Not Recommended

I expected more from such an acclaimed title. Very frustrating - I assume because of a blocking bug and losing progress.

+ Good atmosphere
* [Somewhat] Interesting gameplay and world and world exploration
* Get paired with random players (coordination or not? random)
- Atmosphere regularly feels forced rather than natural (simply missed the mark for me; maybe because of feeling impeded, dismantled, or view-locked)
- Slow, disabling, impeding,
- I assume bug; I was able to walk faster/stronger with keyboard than gamepad; I was not able to progress with gamepad in the ice area; only after I switched to keyboard it immediately worked and I passed the bottle-neck
- Losing all of the collected scarf through repeated unevadeable attacks (another bug?) felt awful (and then ice are was even harder and I first assumed that's why I was stuck there)
