The Longest Journey

Common GOG! need this game now ported to OSX, played it like 5 years ago, and coudn't finish it, now i work in film production and have a MAC, and want to play this game!

Just replayed this game after 6 or 7 years, and must say that it is still one of the best, if not the best, adventure games ever released. The story is fascinating with a few twists and turns that will surprise you. The world is filled with loads of characters that you grow to love and care about. The graphics have aged, but some scenery remains beautiful to this day. Some puzzles are ridiculously absurd and a guide will come in handy, although you will find some brilliant ones as well. Overall fully recommended.

I'm giving 1 star just because the game simply doesn't launch. I was very excited to check this classic title out, but unfortunately I have to make a refund.

I never thought any adventure game that wasn't published by Lucasarts would ever live up to my expectations but I could not have been more wrong about the Longest Journey. The only other video game that has ever had as much of an impact on me is Silent Hill 2. The visuals are stunning, the dialogue is brilliantly written and the puzzles are perfectly balanced. This game is simply a must-have.

I really can't understand the glowing reviews (both here and elsewhere) of this game. It has many memorable qualities such as the artwork and some good ideas, but they are stretched way too thinly with the result that the game is simply boring. I really did try to push on with it but after several returns to it I decided to stop banging my head against the wall. It just isn't worth the investment in time. Like some Swedish films - terribly worthy but would you really spend your time watching it. Just not enjoyable, sorry (and I am an adventure game fan).
