But art connects the artist with the audience. Knowing that something you put your life into -- something you cared about, dreamed about, something you thought about every single day -- was able to reach to a lot of people and they heard your voice and appreciated your children... loving your children is like an extension of me loving you. And I feel loved. I feel not alone. And that's a wonderful experience. This feeling of gratitude is also what gives me the inspiration to make future games." Best Overall Game". IGN. Ziff Davis.

First and only time I played it, I think it was two sittings, but the finish I was virtually in tears. Such an experience from such a simple concept. The connection with a stranger you couldn't fully communicate with sharing the same world and together trying to reach the end... just breathtaking at times. I totally get that its not everyones cup of tea mind... On the other hand, video games are farther away from being respected as an art form by the mainstream," he says. "From 2014 until now, is what I call the 'Great Dilution' for the game industry. Thanks to the social and mobile game expansion, we see a 10x growth in the total population of people who have access to gaming content. But the majority of the new games came out on mobile and social platforms focused on pure growth rather than respect. While more high quality artistic games are made year after year, this dilution drastically shifted the public impression on the gaming industry.

If anything, Journey is nothing more than an interactive visual tech demo in a sort of storybook-ish format. Ohannessian, Kevin (March 12, 2012). "Game Designer Jenova Chen On The Art Behind His "Journey" ". Fast Company. Archived from the original on June 18, 2022 . Retrieved May 1, 2020. When I played this it was really boring, I think I walked for 45 minutes, was 45 minutes enough to play through this I don't remember if I beat it. I liked the graphics and the mood in the first 15 minutes but after that I kept playing because I was curious until it abruptly ended!Since the very start, the game had a very strong community, people that fell in love with the game and playing it all over again. Over the years, they discovered many interesting things and are still playing it. Journey is a very special game, it's best enjoyed "blind", with no knowledge about it before playing it for the first time. Travel and explore this ancient, mysterious world alone, or with a stranger you meet along the way. Soar above ruins and glide across sands as you discover the secrets of a forgotten civilization.

When we ask about whether that question of games as art hasn't been settled long ago, Chen says things have changed considerably over the decades, and games are already seen as art by the people who grew up playing games. PSN Game of the Year". GameSpot. CBS Interactive. December 17, 2012. Archived from the original on January 1, 2013 . Retrieved December 27, 2012. A very shallow game, in my opinion. All pretty music and environments with nothing underneath to really make the experience memorable. No interesting characters or storytelling. The gameplay is about as basic and rudimentary as you can get. Environments aren't very interactive. A glitzy surface only goes so far for me. Even remembering Journey just makes me happy. Playing it was a one of a kind experience, even on repeat playthroughs.Journey stands as a prime example of the truly remarkable things that can be done via this medium.”

What really dawned on me was that TGC's games are meant to be played by a much broader range of players due to its emotional accessibility," Chen says. "And I felt the destiny of TGC is to make games for everyone rather than hardcore console players. And we decided to help TGC reach its destiny, our next game needs to be on platforms where everyone has access to hence cross platform between mobile, console and PC. We started with mobile since it was the most difficult platform to develop on. The rest is history." After ten years, I feel very grateful for what happened," Chen says. "It's also strange because we're growing the company and I interview people and they tell me, 'I played Journey when I was 13 years old!'EDIT: I've played the game at least once a year since launch and never had a problem with finding players. That's not to say you will always be playing with someone else but over the course of a playthrough you will cross with others.
