Journey vs Touch
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.
Touch
Touch is an amazing dancing simulation game that's supplemented with some social elements from virtual world games. Touch is incredibly fun and addictive to play despite the lack of a dance pad. Players in this game will not only need to have really good reflexes but also tempo as they tap to the beat of the song, making their avatar strut their stuff on the dance floor be it alone or with a dance partner. There are plenty of game modes along with a huge repertoire of songs to keep the game interesting and engaging for days on end. You can customize your avatar, hang out with other players at public areas around the game, and even obtain cool mounts in this game.Touch is a game that gives players a nicely enhanced version of the usual tap-tap gameplay albeit in a free-to-play format. If you love dancing sims, you'll love Touch. Check it out!
