Journey

самое красивое пока что во что я играл, впечатления замечательны, я вахуе че еще сказать

This game is a cinematic experience of colors and shapes. There is no clear objective, other than to keep moving forward. The designers did a wonderful job of drawing the eye in the right directions within the spaces, with the help of lighting and veils, which are the living creatures of this universe. There were moments in the middle of the game when I felt that there was not much here in terms of gameplay. The objective was not clear, and the exploration was not really exploration, but walking in some direction. Like a journey. During the game, a character identical to the player character appeared. It did not feel like game artificial intelligence, but like an active and living character. It took me a while to realize that the game had a mechanic, if you can call it that, to be joined by another random player during different stages of the game, or even for the entire game. You communicate with each other through simple sounds - soft coos, sighs, and calls - rather than words. There was something special about playing with another person in a game whose point is to experience something, and not necessarily to achieve objectives, compete, or attack enemies. I felt a little sad when my co-op character suddenly disappeared. There could have been various technical reasons for this, or simply a player who left the game. I continued playing alone, and the loneliness became more noticeable within the large and strange spaces. There was a feeling of uneasiness. There is a stage where dormant war machines are visible, along with a snake-like robot that scans the area and can harm the player. This stage has a very different feeling from the others. Suddenly, there are stakes, and something to be careful of. You start thinking about how to move through the area, when to take cover, and how to avoid being detected. At some point, another player joined me again. I felt a lightness in my heart. We played together throughout the last stages and fought a storm of winds in an effort to reach the other side of a structure. After that, we paddled through the snow until we were weak and each step became so slow. These were very powerful and meaningful moments. The end of the game is the same as the entire game. There is no clear objective or achievement. You reach a certain point, and that is where it ends. This game is short. You can finish it in one evening. It took me two evenings. This length feels accurate within the framework of the experience. If it were longer, it would probably start to become boring, since there are no conventional goals or challenges, and the landscapes can become monotonous at some point. So, this is a short, focused experience, and the mechanic of playing with completely random strangers, who communicate with each other through soft vocalizations and calls, raises the emotional impact of what the developers have created. There is something remarkably human about being unable to speak, yet gradually learning to communicate with another player through these simple sounds. Playing time: 2.5 hours Verdict: Journey is a beautiful and unusual experience that is at its best when you share the journey with another stranger. Its lack of traditional objectives and gameplay can sometimes make the experience feel empty, but that same simplicity leaves room for atmosphere, loneliness, and connection to become the focus. The moments spent traveling alongside another player, especially toward the end, were far more meaningful to me than any conventional game objective could have been.
