You play as a small character with an ever expanding fly ability that has to rebuild a once-mighty civilisation. I see that thatgamecompany likes to stay on its comfort zone.

Weird overall. Nice artstyle and sounds but I don't love the MMO aspects. I've already played and loved Journey and Flower and not once I thought that what they needed …

Weird overall. Nice artstyle and sounds but I don't love the MMO aspects. I've already played and loved Journey and Flower and not once I thought that what they needed were a bunch of other people running around ruining the immersion.

I've been playing this on the Switch and i can't really say im super happy with it so far.

I love Journey, i've played it several times and bought it 3 times and would buy it once more for Switch if that was possible.

Flow and Flower were also really nice experiences.

I've been playing this on the Switch and i can't really say im super happy with it so far.

I love Journey, i've played it several times and bought it 3 times and would buy it once more for Switch if that was possible.

Flow and Flower were also really nice experiences.

Sky on the other hand... it's jus too close to Journey not to compare it to Journey, and so far it just feels like a step down from what Journey is.

Journey is much older now, but so much more polished. Sky feels clunkier in movement (annoyed everytime it keeps me from walking off a ledge) the multiplayer feels much more disconnected than in Journey, and for some reason they've decided to include a textboxes and icons and menus to this one. There's also a lot more locked camera stuff in this which also makes me feel less free than Journey made me feel.

Im not against them trying new things, but this is just too close to Journey for these changes to the formula.

I hope my feelings changes as i go along, but this message telling me to buy season pass and me having to wait for someone to help me open a door until suddenly 2 people pop into existance and opens the door for me, has me not feeling hopeful.

The Android beta finally opened up the other day, so I'm finally able to play this! It's definitely still in beta - lots of kinks and bugs to work out - and I don't personally like playing games like this on my phone, so I'm hoping the Switch release comes before the end of the year. So far, though, it's …

It's definitely still in beta - lots of kinks and bugs to work out - and I don't personally like playing games like this on my phone, so I'm hoping the Switch release comes before the end of the year. So far, though, it's been everything I was hoping it would be.

This looks gorgeous, and reminds me a bit of AER, which itself was bit like Journey with flight. It looks like a very pretty and relaxing game. Looking forward to it.
