Dreamfall: The Longest Journey

Yes you read correctly, FunCom managed to create a game that not only has the perfect story but even the perfect controls.That game deserves 10(ten) stars not five. It might be a little annoying at the beggining,but trust me ,after a little while,he will dominate your life.Forever!

Very poor mouse control. Too much combat. I got bored with it in chapter 5 and gave up.

This purpose of this review is to warn any potential buyers that this game does NOT have "full controller support" as it states on both GOG and Steam. If you search the web for controller issues with this game you'll find many discussions where players either cannot get any controller to work (my experience) or limited controller support at best. I have found some references where players using an original Xbox controller (not 360 or One) were able to get the controller to work as expected. Unfortunately my original Xbox controller also has the original proprietary Microsoft plug for the Xbox console, and therefore it can't plug into any port on my PC. The game does provide "support" for keyboard and mouse, BUT it's VERY poor. The mouse camera control is atrocious. This game has action sequences and none of the actions can be mapped to the mouse. They can only be mapped to keys which is very awkward. So this game has the deadly combination of terrible camera with clunky controls. Not good. If you can tolerate the horrible camera and the awkward keyboard controls, then this probably is a game worth playing.

I wont mention this again as not sure if it achieves anything, but for commercial games older than 2 years GOG shouldn't go beyond $7.99-$9.99. Brand-new games on the other hand could be between $15-25, and indie titles maybe somewhere below $7.99. This game is great don't get me wrong but for all its greatness you can pick it up for 4-5 pounds at amazon, and I don't think it has DRM either.

This sequel has little to do with the first game. And the story was clearly made with another sequel in mind... that doesn't exist. So there are a lot of things left over in this episode. The characters you encounter from the previous game are not what they were - all of them ! And the sneak parts are really boring... So, no, it is clearly not a good sequel.
