games similar to Journey and Flower?

Just got Journey and Flower and I am absolutely floored. Never have I been more enchanted by any video game. Gayness aside, I'm hungry for more and would like to ask if anyone could suggest similar games? I'm looking for games that are thoroughly unique with their stunning overral presentation (great visuals, story, music, etc) and creative and interesting gameplay.

Several similar games come to mind such as Braid and Limbo but I'm unsure about how emotionally satisfying they really are. Haven't played Braid yet, but the Limbo demo seemed pretty good. I might get it someday, but it didn't wow me like the other games. I also really want to play Dear Esther but I don't have a gaming PC. (SOMEBODY PLEASE PORT THE GAME!) I've also played some other games that are somewhat similar such as Heavy Rain and Alan Wake. These two games were my top favorite before I played thatgamecompany's games. They were the most emotionally gratifying games I've ever played, up until then. Speaking of thatgamecompany, how does Flow compare to the other two? I've only played the original flash game, and it seems pretty good, but it does not seem to be at all similar to the other two games. It doesn't seem to have the heart and sould that the others have. Still, I might be interested in getting it. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Nobi Nobi Boy. Don't question just do it. The game is a sand box of awesomeness.Swift_Boss_A

that is an amazing game

i think limbo is one of the best games this generation and braid is very good too, but they arent similar to journey and flower in any way. theyre 2D puzzle platformers and braid is more about piecing together the thematic importance of each puzzle while limbo is more about the overall design.

both journey and flower are pretty unique games, but you might find some common ground in everyday shooter. like flower, its something you could pick up any day, play for a few minutes, and still get a whole thematic experience (although i think everyday shooter is better in this regard). thatgamecompany compares flower to an interactive poem and everyday shooter (made by jonathan mak) is like an interactive album.

It's just me but I found the Limbo demo boring , no colours and 2D with limiting gameplay. Braid looks cool but something about the character really puts me off. He looks full of himself... yeah I have stupid reasons for not liking certain games :P

I recomend Twisted Metal if you are looking for a emotional satisfying game.

I second this and also recommend God of War...especially the third one.

God of war is real sweet.

god of war 3 is great in all its one of the graphical kings on the ps3 but i found the story to b weaker than the first game;( my favorite in the series would b god of war 2 it still looks fantastic, interesting plot, its long first playthrough could take you up to 15 to 20 hr long for action adventure games! good music. the only god of war game that look at all bad is chains of olympus n its still a good game. god of war 1 still looks sharp in hd it does show its age some a lot more so with the cut sceneslocus-solus

You do realize the story is lacking in GoW3 because its the game that concludes the trilogy right? Why would Santa Monica add more story the last few hours of the trilogy? It would just be dragging out the story. Not trying to sound snobby but from a film minor in college, adding story to the near of an ending is bad story telling...it makes those last segments into a rush of crap.

flOw is the obvious choice seeing as it's anothet title in their portfolio. Like mentioned above, it does lack the motional output seen in Journey and Flower, though makes up for it with a beautiful art direction and relaxing gameplay.

If you want an emotional investment you can't go wrong with Ico and Shadow of the Colossus collection. 2 of the greatest games of all time in my opinion

There arent many games like those, thats why they're so great, but Unfinished Swan is close-ish. I didn't love like the other two, but it was pretty cool. Limbo is awesome
