A terrible addition to TLJ franchise

I played this as every episode, except five, came out. I never bothered with chapter 5. This game is a dull mess of bad writing, characters you loathe and when possible you make the game get rid of them, and boring maps that you have to constantly wander back and forth the entirety of to do meandering puzzles that feel hollow and meaningless. It's bizarre this was headed by the same guy that made TLJ and Dreamfall. it doesn't feel like either of those games, and Dreamfall isn't even that great. But it's better than this. There is two characters in this that I like. The robot named "shit-bot" I think it was, and the cursey lady who named it. I wish this game was about them instead. It would be infinitely more enjoyable. Give this a pass and play the original "The Longest Journey" and pine with me for the days when adventure games didn't need to get Kickstarted only to come out feeling half baked, lifeless, and hollow shells of what they used to be (Except Book Of Unwritten Tales- that is a great, more modern, adventure series people should check out). The original game still holds up if you don't mind the art style of the early 2000s. The story is infinitely better with tons of characters you'll actually enjoy being around and a storyline that feels epic. Unlike this. You don't need to play this. You don't really need to play Dreamfall either. It doesn't have an ending, which this was supposed to be. Just skip them at this point. I couldn't wait for this game to end. So much so after the million years it took for episode 5 to come out I didn't even bother checking it out. Because I am certain it didn't make this better. And I didn't even bother with this "remaster" which I am also sure doesn't make this game better.

Those dialogues... horrible!

At first I have to say, I really liked The Longest Journey. Dreamfall Chapters however drove me nuts because of the dialogue style. Especially Zoe is talking like most people would do to small children or puppy-dogs. All the time! It was bothersome right from the start, but drove me more an more crazy the longer I played. There comes a longer part where Zoe is talking with a little robot and that was so extremely annoying that I quit the game and uninstalled it. Even my girlfriend hated the dialogues. I think the overall story is good, but I was so concentrated on the dialogues that I couldn't manage to enjoy the game anymore.

A Labor of Love, though underwhelming.

Completely unsuitable for anyone not familiar with the first two games. For the rest, it's a mixed bag. Fans will probably get something out of it, a conclusion of sorts, if nothing else. Others may find the game lasts too long and offers too little. Mechanically it's barren and inconsistent; gameplay rules change, the puzzles feel like busywork instead of an integral part of gameplay and a lot of them rely on walking around a lot or retrying several solutions until one sticks, sometimes with no hints or information. Visually it can be glitchy and the texture-work is shoddy, to say the least, but it's a kickstarter-funded project, it was never going to look good. The sound is alright, the voice cast is solid, even if Mark Healy plays 80% of the characters and you can't help but see Vernon Roche all over the world. The story is subjective. As I said, fans will get something out of it. For me, it was a disappointing slog of too many threads that barely tied to one another, characters that barely broke away from their archetypes and a resolution that made me stick to my stomach. Script editors exist for a reason, incidentally. It's better than "Dreamfall: The Longest Journey", but the original game in the series remains the only really good game that's easy to recommend to everyone. Tread carefully with your curiousity.

Story is okay. Gameplay is not.

So the world and its lore is cool and all, but the gameplay is very slowly paced. The puzzles are uninteresting or archaic (which I guess some point-and-click-adventurers might find great, I dunno), and the animations are slow, clunky, and outdated. I find it hard to be invested at all in this game, unless you are already such a fan of the series that you *must* know what happens in your own version of the story. I am simply gonna watch a playthrough instead of playing this, because I cannot be bothered with the game anymore.

A bittersweet missed opportunity

I got the occasion to get the game free in 2016 during a gog sale and since i always remember with pleasure the series, i grab the occasion. At the time, only 4 books were released, i wasn't aware of kickstarter situation (let's be honest, RTG has done the same marketing and development mistakes with the previous games) and i didn't have the hardware to play it and "close the circle" started in 1999 with TLJ, a milestone born in the swansong age of adventure games. On late 2020 DC comes out from backlog Don't do my mistake, play or watch the first two games, expecially if you played a long time ago like me. Even if you got a prologue with summarize at big lines where we left and despite the presence of different sections aimed at introducing characters and situations to newcomers to the series, the feeling is that the new work by Ragnar Tørnquist is nothing more than a continue quotation from past adventures based on a complex narrative background (expecially in the big rush at book 5) DC is more an interactive film, where at some point there'll be some important decision wich affects the first 3 books and partially the last 2. Those decision should be the core of replaybility, but i wasn't caught for a second run. Puzzles and interaction are simplistic and during first 3 books it'll be go from A to B and do the task. The game music is absolutely valuable and inspired, even if only in a few decisive cases they manage to affect and rise from a simple appreciable accompaniment Graphic wise is pleasant, focusing more on dialogues animation (even if sync lip is not always perfect), but after book 3, i got bored during book 4 (a comprehensive compendium of clichés), get caught again at the end and became bittersweet with the big rush of book 5, wich let me unsatified under some aspect wich looks fundamental until book 3/4 but they don't have any explaination at the end (the midiclorian effect) and they were maybe saved for the nevercome The Longest Journey Home
