The best adventure game I knew.

It's 2016. I just finished playing "The Longest Journey" for the first time. And this game is amazing. I played adventurers from time to time, over my gaming life, never was and avid fan of them still. But this game... it's like reading a good book, really. The characters ARE alive, sure, sometimes they're sketchy, but most of the time — quite interesting. Authors aren't afraid to give them lengthy dialogues, unlike short phrases, that seem to be the standart for today's adventurers. Sure, the graphics in movies are not aged well, and there is no widescreen support, but that aside from that game is still looking quite nice, and have some cool music and very well spoken dialogues. The length of the game was quite a nice surprise too, it took me 20+ hours to finish. Puzzles are okay-ish, there was a few hard cases, but overall they are logical, and nice. Still, the story is definitely strongest suit. It was a pleasure playing this jewel. I will remember it.

Here are some things you need to know...

Helpful Tips: (game Review follows below) ----------------- 1) SPEEDING UP GAME: April can move at a glacial pace sometimes: you can double click to have April Jog across the screen, this will work on any action she performs. At some point you may even want to take advantage of the ESCAPE button which skips alot of the tedious animations or repeat conversations. When you're solving puzzles you'll have to sometimes go between several locations several times, across several screens back and forth, skipping walking animations will reduce the tedium considerably. 2) CONTROL SCHEME: ESCAPE: Exit/Skip I: Inventory X: Toggle Exit Points P: Pause R-Click Cancel Action. A / S : Quick Select Enter/Arrows: Select conversation dialogue. 3) STEAM CONTROLLER PROFILE: steam://controllerconfig/413080/582144026 (Install as a Desktop Config, save your default one before doing so) 4) VISUALS: Personally, I got rid of full screen by editing preference.ini and setting bool_StartFullscreen=0 as the full screen resulted in a cropped image which was making some puzzles undoable. I also set my monitor res to 800x600 since the no FS window is going to be really tiny. I had characters that were basically missing half their textures and resolved that by unselecting hardware acceleration during launch. REVIEW: ------------- I've been putting off playing this game for years, every since Dreamfall chapters came out and I wanted to start the series at the very beginning. I'm very sensitive to visuals and wasn't sure if I could get through this game and yes, the visuals were heavily dated but the game more than made up for it with its beautifully imagined story/lore/universe with voice acting by far superior to anything that the triple-AH studios put out these days. If you can get passed the visuals there is a deeply rewarding experience waiting for you in a universe that has both a Cyberpunk distopia and a fantasy realm co-existing with conspiracies and intrigues that span across both.

An unearthed treasure

This was one of those games that I simply missed back when it was a new release. I never recalled hearing about it at the time, and it was only much later when it appeared here that some old friends started gushing about how great it was. When they realised I never played it, they didn't give me the option of leaving it unplayed, haha. Well, I'm glad they insisted. This must have been amazing to play at its release year, because even after all this time, it holds up. Yeah, maybe it starts a little slow, and those not more accustomed to older titles might find the hop backwards in graphical fidelity a little jarring, but this is a story that can really sneak up on you. If you're looking for something fresh but with a twist of nostalgia, I'd absolutely suggest putting this high on your list of things to check out.

Absolute must for Adventure fans!

Just finished this one on Windows 10. Ran great. Would crash perhaps every four hours, but a quick reboot and all is well. A lot of walking back and forth to the same enviro's, but the story is deep enough that you really don't notice. The same as in life. You keep going to work. Keep going home. Keep going out to the same places of entertainment, until, you discover you're not a normal person. The crow I found a bit aggravating. I don't like a serious game to have characters that appeal to children. But that aside, this was one of the best adventure games I've played. Not sure what the rest of the series is like but I'm planning on continuing. It almost seems, by the way this one starts and ends, that it was meant not to have a sequel. You really can't go wrong by purchasing this, if you're a fan of the genre. Even if you're not, you'll be grabbed by the story and find yourself enjoying the trip.
