2. Journey (2 hours)

Journey offered one of the most haunting and enjoyable experiences of 2012, even if it was over a bit too soon…

Many reviewers considered Journey a work of art back in 2012, and it’s clear that this game was a beautiful experience from beginning to end, even if it all was over a bit too soon. The game featured atmospheric environments like underground caves and golden deserts, with players controlling a robed figure that was attempting to reach a massive mountain on the horizon…

And even if the gameplay was simplistic as it involved little more than gliding and jumping, this was still a great experience, and a remastered edition of the game was released in 2015 featuring improving visuals and audio, making the game’s great but short journey and even more enjoyable experience.
