Journey doesn't have any difficult mechanics, any explicit story, or even an interface. You simply run, jump, and glide through the desert, trying to reach a snowy mountain in the distance. Along the way you'll find items, enemies, and even companions, but there never are any interruptions. It all flows so nicely, it feels like you're going gently down the stream.

The soundtrack helps you feel the right emotions at the right moments, making Journey an unforgettable experience.
Cons
Con No tournament mode
Leagues and cups are not playable independently meaning one has to play career mode to get to play them, which will take much time.
Con Incredibly short
Journey is one of the shortest games ever made, clocking in just over two hours of gameplay. The ending credits will roll right as you're getting into it, leaving you unsatisfied. This may cause you to immediately replay it but it will never feel the same as your first playthrough.
