Journey crosses barriers of taste, of genre preference, of gamer denominations, on account of being completely unlike anything else you'll play on modern gaming platforms. Some might look at what they've seen (but not felt) and determine that it's boring, a walking simulator, incompatible with their adrenaline-streaming action affairs, but I'd urge all 20 million and more PS4 owners to download this short game. It doesn't cost a lot, and it won't take up a great deal of your time (or space on your hard drive). To adopt a parlance I'm wholly uncomfortable with, it can be "beaten" in less time than it takes to navigate the prologue of your average triple-A release. But once completed, it's a game never forgotten. I know I'll always be happy to play it, when the night's set in and my head's crowded with the day's static, accumulated into a suffocating fog. Journey clears the mind and fills the heart like few (I hesitate to say no, as I've not played them all) other games can. Assuming you even call it a game, as like that album you'll never tire of listening to, it transcends its medium to mean so much more to those who hold it dear.But this is something you've likely read before. The internet isn't short on personal testimonies of Journey's lasting power, and this is but one piece of many (which handily makes me feel less like I've just accidentally written free advertorial). I'll play it again, when it's available for the PS4. But if you have only read about Journey until now, because you had an Xbox before, or a Wii, or you're simply coming to the game for the first time for some other reason, play it. A neat, complete 90 minutes: it's enough, if you weren't already au fait, to convince you that video games are capable of being deeper, more moving creations than the shooters, sports sims and competitive multiplayers that dominate the commercial space, and that they can mean so much more without actually saying anything. You might not cry, but you'll be sure to want to tell someone about your first Journey. And the second. And the fifth.Follow Mike Diver and VICE Gaming on Twitter.On Motherboard: What to Read if You Want to Study Video Games
