Your reaction is the closest one to my own that I've found. I completely agree with your interpretation of the struggle in the snow as old age, where your body slows down and stops listening to you, and you simply can't go on. But that's not the end; there's something else afterwards. A victory lap, almost - going back to a state of childlike wonder, losing yourself completely in the joy of life, companionship, and reveling in being part of the world and its beauty. And like everything, it must end, but all endings are beginnings. While I was flying through the final area I found myself choking up and ugly-crying, and at the time, I couldn't have explained for the life of me why I was having such a strong emotional reaction. I sob-cried much more freely than you did since I didn't have to worry about recording. For me, nothing else quite measures up to the simple, almost elemental beauty of Journey, and the doubletap of heart-numbing sadness coupled with uplifting hope. I fully believe I'm slightly more ready to face death now than I had been before I played. Absolute masterpiece, and a work of art that I'm in love with just as much as I was when I first played it. Thank you for playing and sharing, it made it easy for me to remember how beautiful this game is thanks to having found your video.
It's all fun and games until one lays in the grave and wakes up on another world, dimension, realm and realises that this life was just an illusion and a test for what is coming after it, depending on what way of life you've chosen ...
The part in the snow is 100% more emotional if you do it with other person, the game males you feel emotional for someone you don't even know his name or voice
@@yousefsh7949 you can't add and invite people to play Journey with you, it's just a luck of the draw if you meet another player and that's if they are playing the same time as you, and the reason why you've probably not met anyone yet is cause Journey has been out for many years now and not many people still play it as they've moved onto other new things, but don't give up, there are still people who play Journey and I am one of them, and who knows maybe one day you'll run into someone else... Hell it may just be me 🙂
@@AngryVikingBiker hey man whatsup, yeah the crazy thing about all this is I started playing the game again yesterday and I played it for the 4th time now and I’ve met a lot of amazing people online from it, it’s such a coincidence that I started playing again and to see my old comments from a year ago again.
@@AngryVikingBiker and who knows I may have played with you 😂 but yeah this game is truly a one in a lifetime experience of video games and I still remember when I first met a person online, I was super excited and happy cuz I was desperate to play with anybody, and then when we reached the snow area together I really got emotional because of the fear of losing my buddy and it felt like we went through a journey together.
It's awesome to see someone else appreciate video games for the fine art that they are. So many amazing stories to be had of all different types and scales. Hope that you're doing alright. Thanks for all of the great content. It really makes my days better, which means a lot lately. Much love and continued support.
Thank you!!! It's a game like Journey that makes you realize how powerful games can be. I still remember exactly where I was or what I was feeling at the moment that I beat certain games in my life. It's like unless you have experienced it, you can't understand or fully appreciate it. It's games like this that inspired me to create a UA-cam channel. Have a beautiful day!!! Lot's of love:-) XOXO
I wish you would enjoy the fly a little more and not rush to get to the destination....that's the whole point of journey, the mountain isn't as important as the journey. U went off course many times trying to just go up instead of letting the game take you where it wants. At the end part all you needed to do was follow the ribbons.
You look like me watching The Elephant Man for the first time in 1980. I was 10. At 49, I still can't make it through that movie without drowning in tears. You could have easily edited out your crying. It took guts to leave it in. You are beautiful on the inside as well as out.
Lol:-) I totally can relate, I can never watch the movie Watership Down (the old cartoon one w the rabbits) without completely losing it! Thanks for the nice comment and for watching. This game is amazing, and I still love it even if it makes me cry like a baby:-(
It's such a therapeutic piece of art. It is one of my favorite games and I've played it many times. It always grabs you in the core and shakes up emotions you didn't know were suppressed. Just beautiful through and through.
I really enjoyed your reactions, and the fact that you didn't talk too much during the ending. It shows that it has truely touched you. I even cried with you. This game is simply a MASTERPIECE.
April, thanks for the authentic and moving reaction to this beautiful game. You held up much better than me. After playing, I had to search for someone who reacted similarly to how I did because i needed the company. This is the second time I played the game and totally forgot how I reacted the first time, probably worse than today. The second player was there with me until the end and once more felt like a life experience. Thanks again for sharing.
I absolutely loved the experience from this game. I came into it knowing that the game existed and it had gotten praised. But holy crap did I go on an emotional ride.
I love this game. This journey represents all of our lives, and when we go beyond our limits we enjoy the whole journey from the top and then set off on another, perfect cycle! I loved your video, I identified, I was very moved every time I played and watching your video, it falls in tears. Thank you. It was a great video, especially your comments and your feelings. Advice for the next time you play: Click to fly, don't click several times, click once, and when you see you are losing altitude click again, so you get more time in the air. A hug from Brazil.
I played this game so long ago. I was absolutely amazed. It crossed my mind today and I found this video. You brought back memories and feelings I had playing this game. Brilliant and beautiful game!
I played this game way back when it first released around 2013-2014. Back when there was always a companion playing along with you. My first experience, first playthrough I was with just one anonymous player the whole way through. We'd wait for each other if we were behind. And in the end we went through that lit corridor together. My eyes were BALLING 🤣
It's so beautiful to see that, after you finished the game and start to think about it, beautiful thoughts came to the mind, like in 31:30 that means the game stays with you.
Hey April, I am just working on my next video: my personal TOP10 games that got me very emmotional. And I really enjoyed your reaction/video here. Have you tried Rime ? ;)
Hi, i realize that you're probably not gonna see this, but if you do, please play nier automata. It has a lot in common with Journey in the sence of the wholesomeness, amazing music, and unbelievably deep massages

And the in the credits when you see the other guys going on their journey is like old people seeing the new generation
Denethor's father?

Wow, so beautiful, so hard not to cry as it ends
I know:-) I just can't take it when we collapse on the mountain...lol. This game will always be a fav of mine. XOXO

This game is simply a MASTERPIECE.
FucCK playing it or just watching another person play it i cant avoid tears
Try playing sky children of light.. I swear it made me realize my sins and look back at the things i did, mistakes and evrthing

I just finished it and I cannot stop crying
2020...Thank you for posting this...you made me feel as though I was experiencing it again for the first time.
I thought i might have been the only one crying at the end. It was a magnificent journey.
I absolutely loved the experience from this game. I came into it knowing that the game existed and it had gotten praised. But holy crap did I go on an emotional ride.

cheers from china° i just finished it and wasnt sure i am the only person cried. so glad to find your video. what a life changing game...
Best game ever. Best ending ever. You really should play through it again with a companion. Makes it even better.
Im just here to watch the actual gameplay. And now.. im crying😭😭
Dang April i am going to watch the whole vid but I know you are gonna make me cry lol.
Good luck! Hopefully, you're tougher than me:-) I'm going to have to film w a box of tissues for the sad games from now on. I just can't take it!!!
I played this game so long ago. I was absolutely amazed. It crossed my mind today and I found this video. You brought back memories and feelings I had playing this game. Brilliant and beautiful game!
So you get different robes? Ive been playing sky for a few years i didn’t realize this was the same concept of collecting!

And in the end we went through that lit corridor together. My eyes were BALLING 🤣
In life, we might meet with one or some people, one might stay with us until the end of the journey, or might be not... so we walk alone...
It's so beautiful to see that, after you finished the game and start to think about it, beautiful thoughts came to the mind, like in 31:30 that means the game stays with you.
Hey April, I am just working on my next video: my personal TOP10 games that got me very emmotional. And I really enjoyed your reaction/video here. Have you tried Rime ? ;)
u should try sky children is make by same company it have similar story and graphics are a gift xd
I was never the same after seeing such a ending..
So heartbreaking
I cried when I played this and I got white robe
What a beautiful and touching reaction
M late but wow..this is legit...😍
This game is so beautiful. It's interactive art that manages to make you feel something so deep, without even a word spoken or written.
Hi, i realize that you're probably not gonna see this, but if you do, please play nier automata. It has a lot in common with Journey in the sence of the wholesomeness, amazing music, and unbelievably deep massages
Yeahh, beautiful game! BTW: you must play Nier: Automata sometime and get the "E" Ending... ; ))
Thank you!
Just finished it on my channel also. Emotional times 😁
thank you so much for this beautiful game !!!
Beautiful reaction :')
