Skyward Journey

A wonderful, serene game. The gameplay is great, as long as you don't expect some grand story arc. Four stars because I felt the zen mode was a little lackluster, I would have preferred more little people instead of bubbles. That and there's not much of a reward for collecting all the bubbles from the elders. Other than those things I loved the game. Just... have the right mindset. The goal isn't to complete anything. The goal is to make little people happy and think a little. <3

It's an art-game, with all the pros and cons that entails. Overall, it's very relaxing. I played it at night and quickly fell asleep. It's visually pleasing and the music is delightful. The soundtracks in Vogt's games always impress. You draw wind currents to guide birds into people on islands. The people release more birds representing regrets. The direction that you draw changes the music notes that play. At the end of each level, regrets submitted anonymously online are displayed.

I've read the reviews and I think people are misunderstanding why this was made. First of all, it is not meant to be depressing, the quotes are mistakes that others made in life so you don't have to. Second of all, if you want to play a normal game with a intricate plot, this game isn't for you, if u want that, just play data wing (good game), it's just meant to be a relaxing and sometimes boring experience. This game achieves this perfectly.
