Journey vs The Room

Journey

Journey is literally a quintessential "artsy" adventure game. Why so? Well, the game puts you in the shoes of a mysterious robed figure who you will control throughout your adventure across beautiful, quiet and mostly desert landscapes. Each landscape provides players with a puzzle to solve that will allow them to move on to the next scene, though players can simply roam around the place and drink in the gorgeous visuals.

There isn't a lot of buttons in the game and that's fine enough since you really don't need much to solve the puzzles, but personally, I'm incredibly intrigued by the Sing function. Although it is used to solve certain puzzles, most of the time you'll probably be using it idly while your character is travelling. Depending on how long you press the button and how fast you do so, you can actually create amazing little tunes that you'd love to have it recorded down and turned into perhaps a ringtone or something.

That said, Journey is a game that's so much more than composing music and solving puzzles. It is a journey (like its namesake) to help the robed figure discover who he/she is and to help you figure out what's happened in the game world, resulting in the sprawling desert that spans most of the game.

The Room

The Room is an epic puzzle adventure game that will truly put your brain on the treadmill. Set in a world filled with bizarre inventions and gadgets, you'll follow a trail of clues as you try to "fix" various devices using the hints you've gathered - most of which are hidden in plain sight and yet can be incredibly difficult to spot. Although the graphics isn't top-notch, considering how far graphics has come, the soundtracks managed to redeem this little downside by providing players with the perfect mysterious atmosphere to be utterly immersed in as they solve the puzzles.

If you're up for a brain teasing game, The Room is one of the best games you can get. It's not only challenging enough to play, it also has nice feeling to it. Do check it out! Mystery Point and Click
