I just played Journey for the first time... and it wasn’t what I expected.

What starts as a simple desert walk slowly transforms into something far more powerful. A game about companionship, silence, and the way even the briefest connections can stay with us. This video is part review, part retrospective, part overthinking.

If you’ve ever thought everyone else in the world is an NPC... this video’s for you.

Chapters:
00:00 – Any Way You Want It
00:45 – Open Arms
02:29 – Lights
03:00 – Wheel in the Sky
03:42 – Stone in Love
04:41 – Faithfully
05:38 – Don’t Stop Believin’
07:02 – Higher Place
08:02 – Message of Love
9:15 – After the Fall
10:52 – Separate Ways
