I didn't play this on PS3 but I'm aware that it's generally labelled as some sort of masterpiece by those who did. It looks very nice but I've heard it takes about an hour and a half to finish - not value for money in my book, even at a tenner. I'm still considering a purchase though, and since I hold the opinions of you buggers in such high esteem, want some feedback. I get the impression that if you watch a playthrough, you may as well have played the game. Am I right?

It's more of an interactive experience, it’s not hard and skill isn’t required just a bit of logic, and yes it is short but it’s meant to be played multiple times.
As you go about your Journey you meet other people that travel along with you only one at a time mind, you’ve no idea who they are as there are no tags or chat the only way of communicating is by a single random musical note. If you didn’t know better these other figures could be Ai, sometimes their helpful sometimes you only see them in the distance rushing through, when I first played it on PS3 I was late to the party so it was a lonely experience, but thankfully it’s a cross buy so on my first PS4 play through I thought I had Journeyed with two companions but no, once the credits had finished it informed me I had actually gone through with 8 different people, I honestly couldn’t tell they were all helpful.
That’s about it, nothing to demanding just something to relax and chill with, it might not be your cup of T but someone once recommended Journey to me saying if you don’t like it then you’re dead to me. lol I couldn’t have cared less but I happened to like it.

I thought journey was awesome. As Retro days though, it is an experience rather than a game. There are puzzles to solve, but none are particularly tricky.
I would put it in a similar game type as Unfinished Swan. It is not like Unfinished Swan, but I think if you like one, you will like the other. Since we got Unfinished Swan recently with PSN+, give that a go first.

It's a great interactive experience that feels like you are on an epic journey. It's a game I'll play just to take some timeout I think.
