Good pick! Journey is really a gem, not a hidden one, but surely a very competent game. Oddly enough I see Journey getting all the praise, while hardly anybody talks about the studios former outing "flower". It is fairly simmilar to Journey in how it employs emotional manipulation. But it hast a strong eco-criticism-angle to it.

I enjoy it more than Journey. You play as flower petals in the wind, trying to fly close by other flowers, making them bloom. Super relaxed, "zen-like" is an expression a lot of critics used at the time.

I cried through the last 20 Minutes. What a game.

The unfinished swan is a bit similar in scope and experimental character. I think those are the guys that did What Remains of Edith Finch afterwards. Both games I can totaly recommend aswell.

Yeah I picked that one up with Journey and I’ve been meaning to play it, good to know. What ur saying reminds me a lot of The Stanley Parable’s dev’s next game The Beginner’s Guide which also didnt get the same attention despite being even better in my opinion so I’ll def give Flower a chance soon

Oh yeah, if you are into Journey, chances are you will like flower.

I always wanted to play The Stanley Parable. I think I waited for the PS4 version and it never came out. Did not even know that they had a game afterwards. Will definitely check out The Beginner's Guide (and The Stanley Parable aswell hopefully). I recently played Superliminal which I heard was somewhat similar to those games. And I liked it a lot for this small, charming experiment it was. The things they do with perception is really cool.
