On Leo's Latest Blog Post About "Flower"

[Erick]

I just saw Leo's latest blog post about Thatgamecompany's "Flower" and the crazy thing is I just finished playing one of their games a few days ago!
I just finished "Journey" and to say it was great is an understatment, it truly is a stage green/turquoise game the same as "Flower" (which I also played) and what's good about it is that its story is basically the Hero's journey.
Here's the trailer for anybody interested: 

And this is the composer of the game, who managed to make in my opinion the best soundtrack for a video game (especially for the last stages of the game) talking about the process of making the soundtrack and how Joseph Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" inspired his soundtrack with possible spoilers to the game, so if you're really interested in it, proceed with caution:

Finally, "Journey" is a truly beautiful game that without a single line of dialogue, managed to deeply move me and bring me to tears by the time it ended, it's available on IOS too so I highly, highly recommend it, it's a must play for any video game fan out there.

Yup, incredible game, I made it a point to replay it a couple times a year back when I had a Playstation and it was almost a religious experience every time. Still got the soundtrack.

If you want another high conscious game check out The Talos Principle that I also mentioned in the other game thread.

Thanks for linking that soundtrack behind the scenes. Amazing stuff. Apotheosis is perfect.

Edit: oh shit its on IOS now?? sigh, well I know what Im doing tomorrow.

Exactly, when i finished it I legit had a gathartic release of emotional baggage I've been carrying with me for awhile, I think I just needed something to trigger it and it so happened to be availale for IOS so I downloaded it for my iPhone (which is definetly not the optimal way to play this game, but with a decent pare of headphones it was really worth it)
Thank you for the recommendation, I'm not sure if I heard about this game but the name really sounds familiar, I'll check it out.

No problem, the video was really insightful and I really liked how he explained the process behing Apotheosis, which is as you said, perfect. My new favorite video game soundtrack without a doubt, Life Is Strange is the second on my list even though it's more of like a playlist of different songs but it's still perfect.
Yes it's on iPhone and iPad and it's so cheap for the value it offers!
