A teacher in Japan is using thatgamecompany's recent PS3 title Journey in communication classes. Students and teacher alike are intrigued by the findings.
Shaz from GL: "The way Journey evokes emotions through its narrative without using traditional storytelling methods is something no game has been able to replicate."
BY JOHN: As winter approaches, I find myself searching out "cozy" games that I can play when I need a break from the high-octane action and intense competition found in most modern games. If you're feeling a little jaded by mini-maps covered in icons and a list of quests and side-quests a mile long, I have the perfect game for you. A serene masterpiece for those looking for a port in the storm.
That game is Journey.
The composer behind Journey, Austin Wintory, recently had a chance to revisit the classic game, just in time for its tenth anniversary.
My fav indie game ever, played this on ps4 and ps5. Too bad it does not have a plat trophy.
That's so cool. I love reading stories where games are used for education.
Best learning eva.
Journey is one of those rare games that pulls you in emotionally and gives you that long-lost feeling of the the world feeling large and endless. We've lost that long ago with the advent of the Internet and worldwide communication.
What exactly did you disagree with? LoL Journey is a very emotional game just like Flower. ThatGameCompany is one of my favorite game developers this generation. Looking forward to seeing them on the PS4 as well. :)
That's pretty freaking cool.
