That said, I really did enjoy the surreal…

The Journey Back is such a vibrant and good looking game, with a nice soundtrack and some decent puzzles that'll make you question why society puts the door key right under the doormat.

Meh walking sim (I facetiously qualify this as a walking sim as the puzzles are too easy). The story doesn't pull me in and the physics can sometimes be uncanny. If you have time to spare and don't necessary want to play a quality game to pass the time, you might like this. Not me though.
