* SpiritualSuccessor: The minimalist adventure style seems similar to ''VideoGame/{{Ico}}'' and ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus''. Then ''Journey'' got its own in ''VideoGame/{{Abzu}}''.

* NightmareFuel: For a game that up until that point is nothing but pleasant, [[spoiler:the war machines]] making their first appearance by ''[[JumpScare bursting out of the sand completely without any warning]]'' is responsible for ''quite'' a few pairs of [[BringMyBrownPants soiled pants]]. And the subsequent stealth-sections are almost ''worse''. It's even ''worse'' because their eyes look like the little symbols that make your scarf longer from a distance, and if you run towards them and don't realize what they are until it's too late there's no time for you to get away.

* ThatOneAchievement: The "Companion" achievement requires playing through most of the game with the same companion, "most" in this context meaning at least from the Underground Passage to the end. The game is short enough to pull this off easily if you get a companion that sticks around, but the co-op system leaves no way to coordinate this and you have no guarantee that the other player will be able to stick around.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Yes, it's good enough to stand on the same page as the band Journey. It plays on a recurring motif that can be heard in its simplest form in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLfj3pAlrs4 Nascence]]", the first song, and at its most awe-inspiring in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypNgvc6c6Cc Apotheosis]]", the very last song.
** While all the music you hear throughout is amazing, the ending credits song "I Was Born For This" just tops them all. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_wkJ377LzU You can listen to it here]].
** Now has the honour of being the very first videogame soundtrack ''ever'' [[http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/12/06/journeys-soundtrack-nominated-for-a-grammy to be nominated for a Grammy Award]]! And not just some small obscure award either, [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome it got nominated for Best Score]], placing Austin Wintory amongst heavyweights like Music/JohnWilliams, Music/HansZimmer, Music/HowardShore and [[Music/NineInchNails Trent Reznor]].

* [[Awesome/VideoGameLevels Awesome Video Game Levels]]: The Apotheosis stage and the level with the sandsurfing are the most likely to be brought up in conversation on forums, for nothing but the sheer levels of SceneryPorn and ShockingMoments they contain.
* BreatherLevel: The Temple is a perfectly safe location wedged in-between two patrolled by the War Machines. Not to mention that it is literally overflowing with energy.
