will be continue?

This game, and its continuation of Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (I wonder the mere fact that I did not find the second part here) is one of the best games I've run across. Atmosphere of the game, its a wonderful, imaginative story surely draw many a player. Only when you go out the continuation of Dreamfall?

Hmm

First, this game is great. I liked the story and how atypical it was from the usual adventure genre fare. That said, I must say I was really disappointed in the ending. Without revealing any spoilers, I can simply say it left me feeling like all that was for not, and that the plot misled me only to let me down. I didn't feel like I got what I wanted from the plot. In retrospect, it did make sense for April, but I tend to connect with main characters. These are not the happiest or lightest of games in the genre. If you are looking for a happy ending or sense of great accomplishment, I would not recommend this or Dreamfall. If, however, you are prepared to be blown away by a great story that leaves you asking, "What? Why?" then these two games are well worth playing. The puzzles are not extremely challenging, but imo, many modern adventure games have puzzles that are far too challenging -- so it was nice. (I usually have to follow along with walkthroughs during the second half of adventure games [I play them for the plot]). For me, I just finished both TLJ and Dreamfall back to back and I now wait to see if Dreamfall Chapters makes these worlds less bleak -- and maybe end in a better place... but I won't count on it. The author seems pretty masterful at making everything seem utterly pointless. And that's probably the feeling he wanted to convey. In that way, these games and their stories are genius.

Dang Fine Game

This is most certainly The Longest Journey. If you're looking for a great Adventure Game that LASTS... holy crap, this one lasts. Great story, characters, you will give a crap from start to finish. My only gripe with the game was the Dialogue would many times feel like it just went on and on and on. I couldn't wait, sometimes, for the talking to just be over with so I could move on. This is the first game I've ever felt that way about. None the less, doesn't take away from the level of excellence this game is.

Lovely.. ah, but...

The minute this becomes available in the original Norwegian and for a mac I will buy this, even though I already own it - this game is *that* good. The long time ago I played it I enjoyed it immensely, still occasionally I am sad because I sadly cannot play this great game - no compatible computer.

Style Wins over substance

Good game overall , The problem i have with this game is the general pacing as others have mentioned in previous reviews . I played Dreamfall before coming to this and read many public reviews which recommend the longest journey strongly over dreamfall but both games suffer from the same issues and feel just like a continuation with better graphics . The game leaves you in many situations where you are just wondering back and forward talking to the same people multiple times sometimes requiring to say the same thing multiple times before proceeding , The problem is this slows the game down terribly because when it seems you have found the solution or you are certain there is something else you go wondering around looking to find another solution when the solution was right there in the first place , How are you supposed to know to say the same line multiple times for an answer ? It's just annoying in the end and wastes too much time. The game is definitely aiming at life from a female perspective , I enjoy some of the dialogue from the world characters however most of april and friends dialogue is straight out of a dysfunctional teenage female coming of age flick , April the main character is forever sarcastic and seemingly hopeless and complaining about the majority of things going on and it starts to become annoying and unnecessary after a while . Style wise the game achieves a perfect vision of a fantasy and future world , It has many great things to see , Interesting and colorful folks to meet and is always exciting to wonder into the new areas and explore however the game surprisingly isn't very interactive in terms of doing unique things and going into sub areas for a seemingly large world , The story and locations are mainly on a linear path . Overall i would say it's worth a play but the 5 star reviews are being won over by the world not the gameplay , Style over substance . 3 out of 5 .
