One of most immersive walking sims ever
Doing this from memory: Story: Enjoyable mystery unfolding, immersive, imaginative, with significant milestones. Characters as good as in a good book: you'll grow attached. Art direction kept pace with a good imagination. Voice acting stellar for its time, like its predecessor. Graphics dated, but work with chosen stylization. Music was powerful, epic to moody, relevant, and suiting what's transpiring. Controls had glitches, but only a few times would you curse them out loud. Gameplay had some unintuitive parts, and an annoying bunch of grinding. Sometimes you'll scream with the overly lengthy dialogues, so just put subtitles on and when it gets too annoying, hit space bar to speed through the dialogues as fast as you can read them, or you may lose important content. I did need to look up a cheat one or two times when I got stuck. The 'your choices will have consequences' reminders seemed ominous, but I don't know if they did. Parts of when I'd get stuck would have me puzzling over it in the real world until I could get back and try something else: most of the time that worked (testament to the design). Combat: combat was some of the worst ever encountered, like there was no rhyme or reason, just insane button mashing. I did find certain patterns, but at most they might work 60% of the time, and forget combos. I tried with controllers & keyboard/mouse, default & custom mappings. Overall: If you enjoyed The Longest Journey (predecessor), you'll enjoy revisiting some of the places here in 3D, and continuing with the characters/story. I definitely suggest continuing with the sequel to this one too (Dreamfall Chapters). For a few months afterwards, I kept final savegames and revisited some locales again. Anytime a game leaves you with such long-term memories and feelings, as with a book, it's worthwhile. I still haven't sold my copy.
