When Journey began and I was plopped down in the sand, briefly shown how to manipulate the camera, and then set free in the desert. Traditional tropes we associate with teaching us rules (complicated button layouts, explicit tutorials, wacky sidekicks demonstrating perplexing mechanics) seemed deliberately absent from Journey’s visage.
