Journey is a simple game, that has fairly basic controls and very little setup to the story. Simplicity is what really makes Journey brilliant though, and that applies to the aesthetic as well. The first shot of the game has you stumbling up giant hills of sand as a lone Wanderer, with an imposing mountain constantly in the background.

The Wanderer is a cloaked figure with a scarf, but a memorable and striking design. Journey has no HUD, and this works to the games advantage as you really get to soak in the scenery. As you wander through the desert, your character shifts and slides through the constantly changing sand. Grand ruins and murals spring out of the desert with living flying carpets buzzing around.

Every piece of scenery in Journey is striking and evocative. It’s an incredible experience that has you wandering through scorching deserts and freezing peaks. The beautiful stylized graphics just help to give everything more impact as you move from area to area, with an especially memorable scene at the end of the game as you reach the top of the mountain. The final minutes of Journey are truly a sight to behold.
