Journey

Date played: October 16th
Platform: PS3

Following the 2 or 3 rounds of Pac-Man Championship Edition DX with my daughter, I quit out of the PS3's menu. My daughter saw the icon for Journey, a game she watched me play on PS4 recently. She seemed very interested in playing it now. She's starting to have more experience with gaming, thanks to her interest in Pokemon, so she is more confident in trying new, more complex games.

Thankfully, Journey isn't too hard to play. She picked it up pretty quickly, since it's a relatively simple game. She continued from where I last left off years ago, about midway through the short game. She loved it so much, she actually completed the story! She needed help a few times for some of the trickier jumps, but for the most part, she handled it really well.

At one point, she was joined by another player. It's so weird seeing a child in this situation... She immediately formed a bond with this other person and wouldn't leave their side. They journeyed together to the peak of the mountain. It was a lot of fun to watch.
