With a gradual difficulty curve and beautiful visuals, The Sojourn is an impressive puzzle game which will challenge everyone. Despite it only utilising a few objects in order to create and solve the numerous puzzles placed before you, every level felt different and no two solutions were the same. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t hard, but as long as you have patience and a logical-thinking mind, you can work your way through all of the puzzles at your own pace and take on the optional challenges should you wish to push yourself.
For fans of intricate and challenging puzzle games, The Sojourn is a no brainer.
The Sojourn is a bizarre game. While not feeling like it pushes any kind of boundaries, it manages to put forward something new and interesting. Utilising simple graphics and an easy to grasp puzzling concept, it's incredibly easy to jump into, whether you're wanting to lose a few minutes or a few hours.
The Sojourn is a gorgeous first-person puzzler bursting with clever design and a rich atmosphere.
The Sojourn is a well-designed, thought-provoking first-person puzzle title, with colorful scenery and magical soundtrack.
The Sojourn is a well-designed, thought-provoking first-person puzzle title, with colorful scenery and magical soundtrack. The guiding narrative about self-reflection and discovery told through blindfolded statues, and the scrolls are subtle enough to get the point across and profound sufficient if you look inward upon yourself while playing. The slow pacing of the game is almost metaphoric to life, giving you a reason to slow things down, take it all in, and live in the moment.
The Sojourn is a peaceful yet thought-provoking puzzle game with beautiful visuals. The only bits of story are told through dioramas, so it isn't spelled out for you. With a sense of wonder and interesting puzzle mechanics, you'll have a great time seeing how clever you truly are.
The Sojourn is a clever puzzle game depicting a story of creation and growth. It's quite similar to The Talos Principle and The Witness, but slightly easier and straightforward, but extremely challenging every now and then.

The Sojourn is an excellent title, a wonderful surprise that came almost randomly. Many will see it as a simple puzzle-game, others a philosophical-metaphorical story, still others, in a more personal way, a journey into their own life... well, The Sojourn, as he himself teaches us, is all and nothing of this at the same time: but sure is a title that reminded me why I love this medium so much.

I was thoroughly impressed with what The Sojourn had to offer and so happy that the game was moved from 2020 to a September 20, 2019 release. The world needed you Sojourn, and through the darkness shone your light. I truly hope anyone and everyone out there who loves puzzle games picks this game up and tells a friend.
The Sojourn elevates simple mechanics and creative level design to create a thoroughly enjoyable puzzling experience and a game any fan of the genre should play.
The Sojourn is one of the best games of the year and one of the best puzzle games available, if not the best. Every single puzzle is meticulously designed and challenges you in satisfying ways, without ever feeling impossible. Carefully crafted, beautiful levels. An uplifting, philosophical story that asks you to reflect upon your actions and the world around you. All of these ingredients create an experience like no other and a game you will be thinking about even after the credits have rolled.
