* StopHelpingMe: An interesting example, in that it's not only perpetrated by other players but is almost certainly done without malice: the second chapter features a bridge which, if crossed without repairing it completely, will reward a trophy. Unfortunately some nice person will often see you 'struggling' and take pity on you by fixing the bridge section you obviously didn't see, undermining the whole endeavour.

''Journey'' is a video game for the PlayStation3 created by [[http://thatgamecompany.com/ thatgamecompany]], best known as the creators of ''[=flOw=]'' and ''{{Flower}}''. You play as a robed figure who is crossing the desert to reach a mountain in the distance. As the game progresses, you will pass through several unique environments and ruins, uncovering more of the game's story as you go.
Your character has only two real abilities: singing, which radiates out a sound wave whose size is proportional to how long you hold down the button - this is used to activate various objects; and jumping, which allows you to go sailing through the air - this ability uses energy, which can be replenished by touching the floating bits of cloth you encounter throughout the game; the amount of energy, indicated by the length of your character's scarf, can be increased by collecting glowing symbols.
One of the game's main selling points is its unique form of multiplayer: during the game, you may encounter another player, whom you may travel with if you wish. However, unlike most multiplayer games, you can't see the other player's name or other information except for a unique icon that appears above their head when they sing, which is the only real way to communicate - there is no text or voice chat in the game, so you must rely entirely on your in-game abilities to work with your partner. [[spoiler:However, when you beat the game, it reveals the user names of all the other players you encountered on your journey.]]
Note that the game's story is ''very much'' meant to be experienced firsthand rather than read about, so check out the tropes below at your own risk.
