What touched you about Journey? I finished the games about 3 times and honestly can’t recall that much about it but the art/graphic design being top notch.
Regarding OP’s question I also don’t recall a game that has made me cry yet, but I wouldn’t say I am a senseless being lol, some anime scenes get me from time to time… Is just that with games it feels different.
There were a few things, I think. Stylistically I thought it was gorgeous and made well, coupled with the absolutely beautiful soundtrack by Austin Wintory. But I also got lucky my first time though, and ended up sticking with the same partner pretty much from the very beginning all the way through the end.
The argument that games are art is something that was pretty widely discussed around the release of Journey, but what I think made that game in particular so impactful is the way that it took a basic mechanic like multiplayer support and wove it so perfectly in with the narrative it was trying to tell. Walking into the light with the same person who was with me from so early on, after everything we went through, and then saying our goodbyes before that beautiful OST played through the credits, it was pretty moving.
