At Least It Lives Up to the Title...

Yes, the graphics are good and the plot line is engaging. Game play though? A great disappointment considering all the positive reviews. The Longest Journey is certainly just that. Long. The puzzles aren't quirky nor fun. The game isn't drawn out because of difficulty, it's drawn out with fetch object quests that involves over five minutes of watching your character walk from one side of the screen to the other. A couple of the puzzles are also so obscure that short of clicking all over the screen, take forever. (Luckily, there are walk throughs to save you from that fate.) The dialogue (not the cut scenes, the cut scenes are amazing) can also be so tedious I wondered why I was clicking on the options in the first place instead of going off to explore elsewhere. It looks stunning. It's immersive. Yada yada yada. None of that matters if the game itself is a boring mess. I'd rather go read a book or watch a movie then play this game. If you're looking for a point and click game to try instead, Sanitarium has both an amazing storyline and intriguing puzzles. Real Myst gives the gamer an amazing world experience and intense brain benders. The Longest Journey? At least it's long...

Terrific game made nearly unplayable

Game's just great, but game dialog boxes (e.g. save or exit game) rendered all in white make it almost unplayable (there are key combinations, but you still have to guess what are you getting asked about), game start window opening under other already opened windows is iritating too.

Feels like the journey of your life

It has the feeling of an old point-and-click adventure, but topped with great graphics. Every scene, every character and every step of the journey has its own personality. After traveling across all those places, you come to the end realising the marvelous places you have visited, the good friends you have made and the things you have learned from this universe.

Incredible and frustrating

Every so often, you'll read a book, watch a movie, listen to a song, or play a game that sticks with you long after the initial experience is over. This is my experience with The Longest Journey. I first heard about TLJ from an old IGN article listing the best PC games of all time. While I wasn't really interested in adventure games at the time, the screenshots intrigued me. Years later, I rediscovered the game here on GOG and picked it up. This game is beautiful. Not necessarily in a technical way, but artistically. The pre-rendered cutscenes and backgrounds evoke living, breathing worlds. You can imagine just how much more there is just off of the edge of your screen. Couple that with a brilliant soundtrack, and you've got a game that is rich in atmosphere I played this game when I was working on a failed second college degree in my early twenties. I really related to April Ryan's struggles as a young adult trying to find my place in the world. It certainly didn't hurt that she's a charming, well-acted character. Playing this at that time in my life really made it stick with me. There are definite downsides to TLJ. Primarily, the puzzles. Good gravy are they convoluted. I would highly recommend not playing this game blind, but instead using a walkthrough. I personally used the Universal Hint System guide, which drip feeds you only basic information at first, with the option to spell it out for you as well. Try it yourself first, but once you get stuck, don't give up. It's worth it to finish. Another aspect that has aged pretty poorly is the voice acting and writing. April herself is acted well enough, but there are far too many characters whose stilted performances and cheesey nineties writing make it a little hard to stomach. From a technical aspect, this game needs a remaster. It doesn't work particularly well on modern systems. Take a look at the PC Gaming Wiki before you play. I adore this game and hope that April will finish the journey home one day.

Jednak z najlepszych przygodówek

Najdłuższa podróż to jednak z najlepszych point'n'n'clickowych przygodówek w całej historii gier. Niesamowicie kreatywna wizja dwóch światów (futurystycznego Stark i magicznej Arcadii), genialny klimat przygodowo-awanturniczy i dziesiątki fantastycznych postaci. Jedna z największych przygód mojego życia!
