The Epic Games Store has secured another hit. The legendary PlayStation game Journey is coming to PC.
Epic Games is currently doing everything to provide Steam with as much competition as possible. They achieve this not only through many exclusive titles that are available for a while only in the Epic Games Store (such as Borderlands 3), but also with a current sale featuring numerous games on discount.
Now, Epic Games has revealed that they have secured another exclusive hit: the game “Journey,” which was previously available only on PS3 and PS4.
Why is Journey so popular? Journey is regarded by many fans not as a game, but rather as a work of art. You play a nameless character who embarks on a long journey through a desert, gradually uncovering memories and clues about an ancient civilization. As you traverse the “levels” ranging from crumbling ruins in the desert to icy cliffs on high mountains, there are no spoken words. The game thrives on the atmosphere it creates, unlike any other game. Nearly 92 out of 100 points on Metacritic underscores this impression.
Here is the original release trailer for the PlayStation 3:
No communication and yet multiplayer: One particularly cool feature of Journey was that you could meet other players on your journey. While there was no way to communicate (the names of the players were only revealed at the very end), Journey provided an immensely warm feeling when encountering a stranger and collaboratively solving the small puzzles.
How much will Journey cost? Journey is priced at €14.99 in the Epic Games Store for pre-order. Thanks to the current special sale, there is an additional €10 discount. Therefore, anyone looking to grab Journey for just €5, especially if they haven’t played it on PS3/4, can do so without hesitation. Here is Journey in the Epic Games Store.
In any case, the Epic Games Store has secured a grand game with “Journey,” which may encourage many gamers to start using the Epic Games Store. And why not – Journey is definitely worth it.
