On Journey . . . (Gaming)

I'm finally going to pick up a PS4 this week. I've always wanted to play Journey--I assume it's still worth playing? I don't know any of the story or anything, so I haven't been spoiled in any significant manner I don't think. But I feel like it's been built up so much that maybe I've missed that boat. Undertale suffered in that way for me. It just couldn't live up to all the praise heaped upon it.

The entire point of Journey is just that, the journey. Don't go in expecting a huge twist or epic payoff at the end. The experience is small and personal. What you get out of it emotionally depends on what you experience during your journey. That's what resonates with folks. You'll likely only play through once or twice, but that is enough to get what you're going to get (I only played through it once, and didn't have the heart to go through it again).
The game is loved because of that small scale and the intimate experience. Expect to get through it in one sitting, and enjoy the views.

PS, welcome to the club. ;)
