Journey
Journey’s concentrated, abstract landscapes are sufficient to call it a worthwhile visual vacation, but it’s the unexpected variable of contact with free will in concert with the environments that cuts me deep. As the canon of minimalism, the game draws its strength from the purity of its elements.
