DualShockersEthan KriegerMay 20259.5/10Not since my first time playing Journey has a title struck as strong an emotional chord with my very soul. The claymation world is absolutely beautiful yet terrifying, the soundtrack is hauntingly gorgeous, and the gameplay is full of wildly unique and creative ideas that I've never experienced before.

Nintendo LifeKen TalbotApr 20269/10The Midnight Walk is an intoxicating journey through a beautifully twisted nightmare world. The Burnt One's quest to Moon Mountain is an atmospheric, bleak, and surprisingly sweet story that's worth experiencing.

Slant MagazineMay 20253/5 starsIt’s a constraint of the ambitious graphical approach that makes the game a sumptuous but brief shot of bedtime-story vibes.
