From a purely audiovisual perspective, Journey is one of my all-time favourite video games. It's more of an experience rather than a story, even if there's are numerous vague hints and allusions to the history of the world and what exactly is going on in the game. From the start of the game you have a very clear goal, a huge mountain in the distance. However, as the name very clearly states the ultimate goal isn't really what matters in the end, rather it's everything that happens on the way there that is truly important.
There's really not much else to say about Journey, other than everyone should play it considering how short it is. It's something that everyone should experience for themselves, from the gorgeous sand dunes to the dark depths of the ancient city ruin and up the snowy mountains, it's a beautiful game that is unlike almost anything else in the medium.
