One of the few remaining console exclusives left to make me want I had a PlayBox, Thatgamecompany’s beautiful Journey, launched on PC at this time. It is, as I perceive it, a playful and considerate game about wandering by way of a desert of ruins in direction of a distant mountain. And you run and bounce and slide and glide and remedy mild puzzles and typically meet a random co-op pal you possibly can solely talk with by way of motion and a single vocal chime. It’s a kind of games I’m instructed I’ve to see for myself, so now I’ll, okay?
Thatgamecompany first launched Journey as a PlayStation three unique in 2012, and now it’s an Epic Games Store scloosie on PC. Epic often get a 12 months of exclusivity when shopping for up games to bootstrap their substandard retailer and PC publishers Annapurna Interactive have launched games on different shops earlier than, so it’ll seemingly arrive elsewhere finally.
If you need an opinion that’s extra knowledgeable than my “Oh that does look nice yes I hear it is,” the podcrew had some Journey chat last week fittingly whereas discussing game journeys.
Journey is out now on the Epic Games Store for £5/€5/$5. While the same old value is £15/€15/$15 (boo to these alternate charges), Epic are at present subsidising reductions in a storewide sale. See you on the dunes, duuudes.
Oh, and in case you missed it, Thatgamecompany’s Flower recently arrived on PC too.
