I DIDN'T EXPECT TO CRY... | Journey Gameplay Part 4 (ENDING) 

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.

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

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.

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.

Wow, so beautiful, so hard not to cry as it ends

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.

In thses times of struggle you appreciare this game even more... keep fighting, stay strong...

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.

2020...Thank you for posting this...you made me feel as though I was experiencing it again for the first time.

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 🤣

Keep doing your thing April, someday very soon you'll get the recognition you deserve! A loyal fan x

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 thought i might have been the only one crying at the end. It was a magnificent journey.

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.

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.

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 just finished it and I cannot stop crying

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...

Im just here to watch the actual gameplay. And now.. im crying😭😭

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...

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.

Best game ever. Best ending ever. You really should play through it again with a companion. Makes it even better.

I was never the same after seeing such a ending.. So heartbreaking

Dang April i am going to watch the whole vid but I know you are gonna make me cry lol.

Thank you!

What a beautiful and touching reaction

So you get different robes? Ive been playing sky for a few years i didn’t realize this was the same concept of collecting!

thank you so much for this beautiful game !!!

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.

Just finished it on my channel also. Emotional times 😁

M late but wow..this is legit...😍

Beautiful reaction :')

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 ? ;)

I cried when I played this and I got white robe

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

Yeahh, beautiful game! BTW: you must play Nier: Automata sometime and get the "E" Ending... ; ))

I played this game today cuse it was my sisters birthday i had a friend with me that made it with me to the snow in the end i cryed cuse me and my friend wich i didint know died together i will never forget him. And we made it together to the end...😭😭😭😢😢😢

u should try sky children is make by same company it have similar story and graphics are a gift xd

FucCK playing it or just watching another person play it i cant avoid tears

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
