The Longest Journey

In my opinion, The Longest Journey easily has one of the best stories ever told in a video game. It just sucks in you and doesn't let go, you really want to know what happens next. The writing is wonderful and it truly has some of the most memorable adventure game characters. The voice acting is also incredibly good. This is probably my favorite point-and-click adventure game of all-time and I just can't recommend it enough!

This game has such an impact on me. I loved the story, the narration and the universe. I would recomand this game to all.

If you're on this store page and love adventure games, you know that this one is a must-play. However, on a new machine, you still might need to jump through multiple hoops to play it comfortably. Please, GOG, update your version to come packaged with ResidualVM, just like you do with Myst 3 - it'll be the necessary step in preservation of this incredible piece of art.

I just wanted to take a quick look at it for old times sake ... now I am playing fulltime again. Dammit! This game is one of the best adventures in long list of point and click adventures I have played (and of course also compared to modern direct control 3d adventures). The only bad thing about it is the time when it came out. The 3D models are crude, the framerate of the 2d ingame animations (subway train) way too low. Also running it natively can be a real challenge on a modern computer. Don't even try that, run in it ScummVM (ResidualVM and ScummVM have been merged into one program). Just don't change the resolution while a video is playing and stick to either fullscreen or window. Apart from some minor details (the interface could use a few tweaks) this can easily compare with the best adventures out there. If you can live with doing a few clicks more than in other games, this is a must have.

There aren't really any words to add. This is one of, if not the, best point-and-click games of the era. Voice acting, story, gameplay, all superb. Be sure to play on ScummVM though!
