Dreamfall: The Longest Journey

one of the best story's ever told! (and I hear lots of) its not a game you play for the gameplay. if you like a good movie, a good book or a good story and you like to game sometime: than this could be one of the best games/story's your ever have played/hear! ;D but really dont play it because you want a good gameplay because the gameplay is not that intresting! ;)

Dreamfall is drastically different than TLJ. In general, DF has more cinematic feeling. Feels much more like a movie. Its pace is faster. Many aspects, while good, feel inferior regarding TLJ:Characters aren't as appealing, puzzles aren't as original, dialogues aren't as clever, and April Ryan, the loved heroine from TLJ comes back in a rather gloomy version(although that's a part of the STORY and is understandable), in general it felt as if we've lost some of TLJ's depth. Don't get me wrong, these aspects are good in the game, but can be easily overshadowed by TLJ. Now I'll try reviewing DF on its own:Graphics are beautiful! Both Stark and Arcadia looks fantastic. I truly enjoyed exploring the environments in the game. Music of DF is amazing.Very cinematic as I said earlier, although at times it's poorly mixed into the game, it is very well done, the music is felt all the way throughout the game and adds a lot. Story is amazing. Starts weakly, as Zoe looks more dull and shallow than April in TLJ. Give her a chance, though. You'll learn to like her quickly enough. In general, the main characters would develop interestingly, wonderfully presented to you in DF's cinematic ways. And towards the end it all gets really emotional and touchy. Now let's talk about a weaker point of the game: Gameplay.DF It tries to use action sequences which are badly done. Aside from that, there are some inventory puzzles. Not many.What's left besides the aforementioned gameplay aspects? Dialogues. And running around. I simply couldn't ignore that big parts of the game you'll listening to conversations, or backtracking, which is not fun. Nice thing about the gameplay, though, your choices matters sometimes. Check it out. DF has some technical flaws as well, which are minor, and therefore I won't mention them all (chars limit) It's clear that Dreamfall isn't perfect, but whoever plays it should understand that the real thing is the story. The game gave me great joy and excitement.

One of the last great adventure games, with interesting characters and world to explore. Unfortunately the game is missing an ending which was promised in DLC episodes format, unfortunately they never came.

Yes, the game could have been with more complex puzzles; Yes, some of the not interactive scenes are quite long (~5 to 10 minutes) and yes, the game ends with a cliffhanger. But I enjoyed the game very much. It felt like a (very long) movie and it was worth every minute. Can´t wait for the upcoming (~2014) "Dreamfall Chapters" which will continue the story where "Dreamfall" ends!

One of the most satisfying, intriguing and fulfilling games of all time. Cons, if any, are not so visible once you immerse in the world and story. I still hope for a sequel !
