For fans of Journey: (Gaming)

For those of you that loved Journey, I would advise checking out GRIS. It's conceptually similar, and arguably even more gorgeous.

Sadly, it's not on Xbox or PS4, only PC, MAC, and Nintendo Switch. If you have one of those systems, though, go check it out. It's $16.99 on the Switch.

Skill Up's review pushed me to purchase it this evening, and it's lovely. I'm glad I bought it. I'm only forty or so minutes into it, and he says it's about three hours long, so it could safely be a single-evening game if that matters to you.

Man, I’m torn. I got to the very first line of Skill Up’s review, and derailed myself. “Yeah, I know you’ve seen this before, but that doesn’t make it any less beautiful”. Except it does. That clip he’s showing isn’t just a bit like Journey. It IS Journey. They aped it so hard that it’s a damn near perfect copy. So much so that I actually can’t let myself fully appreciate how pretty it is, because it just screams “ripoff” to me. But still, it’s undeniably gorgeous, and it’s like $20. So I’m tempted. If nothing else, it’ll give me an excuse to dust off my Switch, lol.
