A game I will never forget. Epic.

It's been 6 years since I played this and I still remember the experience vividly. Haunting, poignant, beautiful yet sad. Excellent storyline. The setting of a charming, futuristic yet old Casablanca in which the beginning of the game is set in makes me want to visit it one day. The female protagonist Zoe makes for a very interesting character, not to mention her oh so sexy British accent. The combat system is a bit shoddy though, and frankly the game can do well without combat at all. The sneaking parts are also boring. But overall, it is a fantastic experience one would never forget. Also, great soundtrack! One of the songs " To Be With You" by Magnet, who is a Norwegian musician is still being played in my playlist till this day. So, play this game, you won't regret it.

Eyecandy, hold the controls

While everyone and their grandmother have weighed in on the graphical splendour (Too pretty for words - you really have to see it to believe it, even if it has some obvious imposed technical limitations. Fantastic atmosphere!), it goes without saying that the control scheme is NOT optimal for the PC. It's probably nice with a gamepad, but not in the slightest for keyboard-only adventurers. (Mouse makes it bearable.) But seeing as I have nothing new to add there, I'll just limit myself to pointing this little gem out: Voice acting. Yes, voice acting in pretty much any game that doesn't have Bioware's or LucasArts (RIP) logo on it has a disturbing tendency to be all kinds of awful - and Dreamfall is no exception. Or is it? Just for fun, I changed voices to Norwegian - and was instantly blown away. Pick any subtitle you like, but you owe it to yourself to experience the norwegian voices! Also noteworthy is that there are often more than one way to progress through tricky spots. For example, you can either walk right up to a not-very-nice-guy and bluff your way through, or lure him away with a pizza oven and sneak past him instead. (There's even a third option in that case: fail stealth/bluff and kick him inna nads.) Refreshing.

Great game, but could do without combat

TLDR: If you can get past the controls/combat and enjoy a good story, play it. Dreamfall: the Longest Journey is not a direct sequel to the original Longest Journey (apparently that is planned for later release after Dreamfall Chapters) but is set in the same world(s) ten years after the events in Longest Journey and involves some of the same characters. It's also a departure from the original in that it's not a point-and-click - it's 3rd-person over the shoulder. The conversation system displays a series of one-word dialogue choices which when moused-over, often indicate a direction that the conversation should follow (aggressive, friendly, tell the truth, etc.) rather than a specific sentence or phrase. I recommend always mousing over the options before selecting to make sure that you don't miss a branch. The story itself is fantastic and will send you on several twists and turns through the game world, and getting to see the game from different perspectives. At some points there are mini-games to hack or unlock things. They are fairly simple but fun and do not interrupt the story much if at all. The same cannot be said, sadly, for the combat and stealth sections, but again there thankfully aren't very many of them - or at least not many of them that will be hard/annoying. Hint: characters always block after you hit them, and you happen to have an attack that always passes through a block... you're welcome! Overall, I think the Metacritic score (75%) is almost spot-on, but for me personally I absolutely loved this game despite its flaws. If you enjoyed the first game and want more of the same style of story, or if you enjoy great story-telling in general, definitely play this game. If you haven't played the first game and enjoy point-and-click adventure games though, I'd really recommend playing the original Longest Journey first. It isn't required to play Dreamfall strictly speaking, but you will enjoy Dreamfall a lot more if you do.

Old favourite..

Owned it on disc way back when and played through it several times without ever getting bored.

A mixed bag

Not as good as its predecessor, The Longest Journey, and only worth playing if you want to continue the story before playing Dreamfall: Chapters. The game was made in an era when everyone was moving away from classic point and click mechanics to characters in a 3D world. Unfortunately, the controls and camera are both terrible, and the puzzles are mostly non-existent and easy when you do encounter them. There are also frustrating stealth and combat sections which don't really fit in with the ethos of a story-driven adventure.
