OK on its own/dogs breakfast of a sequel

So, my story with series began with Dreamfall TLJ sometime in 2010 and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it so much that when Dreamfall: Chapters (DTLJ's sequel) came out, I bought the new game along with The Longest Journey (Dreamfall TLJ's predecessor from 1999). After a couple of years of procrastinating, played it, right before replaying Dreamfall TLJ a second time. Sadly, my second playthrough of this game was not a good one. The original Longest Journey (1999) visuals made my eyes bleed but man oh man was that story amazing & man were those characters lovable: especially April Ryan who was goofy and lovable but also clever & resourceful. Strong but still humble. They took April Ryan in Dreamfall: TLJ & made her a secondary character & sucked all the life out of her, making her unrecognizable. That would have been ok if the new protagonist had some depth to her and something new to contribute for the series but sadly, Zoe, has as much depth and charisma as a British accented puddle of water. TLJ's plotline was also way more thought out & developed than Dreamfall TLJ. It had many incomplete threads that could have easilly filled another 2 sequels. When we left TLJ, Mercuria was invaded by the Tyren - a beast race of barbarian controlled by the Vanguard, a conspiracy that spanned across two universes. Although thwarted, the Vanguard were still a strong and present danger in both Stark and Arcadia - far from defeated. Where are the vanguard in Dreamfall? Gone! Fight for the balance? Gone! The Sentinels? Gone! The Tyren? Gone! Apperently, a couple of weeks after they invaded they got wiped out by another invading and occupying force before we even get to see what they looked like. Hell, Dreamfall even casually mentions a collapse in Stark's civilization occuring after TLJ but insultingly glosses over it. Why did such an amazing and still viable plot-line/main character get buried under a rug only to be replace by one that are nowhere near as interesting?

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.

DON'T BOTHER!

I'd give this 'game' no stars if I could...there's hardly any 'game' to play...95% of it is advancing through a story with a clunky interface at best. NOTHING from its 'prequel' is left - it doesn't deserve to be associated with TLJ at all. The only thing it has in common is the name of the character April Ryan. At BEST, this is a graphic novel with a hint of puzzle in it, and that's pushing it.

Interesting story, horrible controls!

This game is a chore to play. The person is really difficult to control with a keyboard and mouse. I finally became fed up and just watched a play through. May be better on a different platform other than PC.
