Journey
Journey proves that games don’t need dialogue or complex mechanics to leave a lasting impression. Players traverse a vast desert landscape, guided only by visual cues and a haunting musical score.

Every element works in harmony to deliver a short but unforgettable experience, and puts forth a strong argument for video games as a form of art.
