A worth sequel which now has a finale
Dreamfall is a sequel to The Longest Journey and both of these games were highly regarded at launch while still being excellent almost 20 years since. The game can be played without experiencing the first one since it mostly features new characters and many of the key events from the first one are vaguely referenced, but to truly make the most of it, playing the first one is still a must. This is because the game presents the low resolution visuals of the first game in beautiful full 3D and the returning characters are a joy to interact with when you meet them again. The changes to the world and locations are fascinating to experience as well. This sequel is set a decade after the first game and follows three characters, one being from the first game and two new ones. The main character in this game is clearly Zoë and she has the majority of the screen-time. She ends up getting involved in an epic plot affecting the twin worlds but this time involving the world of dreams and hidden machinations of characters from the first game. This game is extremely beautiful in everything from the art to the music, including varied locations, character designs and the ability to finally walk around them. The gameplay evolves the adventure game aspects of the first game and adds some mechanics like the ability to listen in on conversations from a distance using focus mode. It adds some clunky combat and stealth mechanics that have been widely derided and does feature occasional back-tracking but the strengths of its gameplay, expansive story and world far outweigh these issues. The music, voice acting and overall flow of the game are also excellent. Some actions can change some interactions in usually minor ways in this game, similar to TLJ. The outstanding story is much more serious and darker than in TLJ but it maintains the dreamy quality of the first game. It ends on massive cliffhangers but as Dreamfall Chapters is released, you can get the answers without worry.
