But Journey... You're right, Journey doesn't have the grand mechanical depth of games like WoW or Quake. But for me, Journey evoked an indescribable, inexplicable emotional response. I think Journey somehow created a Hero's Journey effect, without words or even concrete symbols. For me, Journey was a defining experience in my life, and I'm not even a video game connoisseur. But I also enjoy the stories of "cinematic" games, so I imagine we're very different people."Art" games, especially if they have no mechanical depth. (Looking at you thatgamecompany)
I agree Flow and Flower aren't all they're hyped up to be. Original? yes. Fun? meh.
