Like Watching Paint Dry

I got sucked into this because of the premise: two worlds, one ruled by magic, one by science. I've always been fascinated by that idea. Unfortunately, the pace of the game was glacial. Game play consisted of tests of endurance and eyesight. You'd need a certain key, for example. Run across town, discover it is not there, and have to run, literally miles, back to where you started. To get a clue. Run back across town. Get sent, AGAIN, back to exactly where you started. This is where the key is. After an hour of randomly bashing around the room, you uncover it beneath a magazine sitting on a table, which previously couldn't be moved. Yes, the graphics were pretty, but this game was like getting slowly beaten to death. CRUSHINGLY boring. Game designers just don't get it: frustration does not equal fun. Clever puzzles can be interesting, but a lot of this was just brute-force "try everything until something works". Negative five stars.

Dissappointing

I want to warn those who, like me, were taken in by the pretty images and fascinating concept. The concept *is* fascinating... and the terrible writing utterly ruined it. Don't get me wrong, it's playable, certainly. And if you're good at looking past horrible writing and delivery, the concept still *is* very good. But the writing makes me cringe and the foreshadowing is useless. So far there is only a single major development I did not see coming at least two chapters before it was 'revealed', though I'm also still a few chapters from finishing. The one I didn't see coming was only because it had been said outright at the beginning, but in such a way that made it seem figurative when it was actually literal. Especially if you're a writer like me, pass this by. The way such a wonderful and fascinating story has been taken and so thoroughly made mediocre, boring and painfully written will just leave you bitter and disillusioned a mere few chapters in.

I love this game

It has a storyline and characters that have stayed with me more than a decade after I completed it. I can still hear April Ryan's voice (the main character that you play) as I journeyed through this amazing adventure, hearing her thoughts on everything, and experiencing everything. I love it.

The best adventure game I knew.

It's 2016. I just finished playing "The Longest Journey" for the first time. And this game is amazing. I played adventurers from time to time, over my gaming life, never was and avid fan of them still. But this game... it's like reading a good book, really. The characters ARE alive, sure, sometimes they're sketchy, but most of the time — quite interesting. Authors aren't afraid to give them lengthy dialogues, unlike short phrases, that seem to be the standart for today's adventurers. Sure, the graphics in movies are not aged well, and there is no widescreen support, but that aside from that game is still looking quite nice, and have some cool music and very well spoken dialogues. The length of the game was quite a nice surprise too, it took me 20+ hours to finish. Puzzles are okay-ish, there was a few hard cases, but overall they are logical, and nice. Still, the story is definitely strongest suit. It was a pleasure playing this jewel. I will remember it.

So, So good.

There are so many things wrong with this game. It's super buggy. Many of the "puzzles" in this game relate to, "how can I get past this scene without the game crashing on me?" The game doesn't have a very friendly start, where you have to invest a few hours before you really start caring about characters, and understand what is going on. Many of the puzzles aren't the greatest, including a handful of, "Figure something out without any explanation because hey, its here!" And I still have to give this game 5 stars. It's just that good. I took a few days after completing the game to review it, to see how my opinion would change. It only got better. I guess there's two kinds of adventure gamers in the world: "The plot should drive the puzzles" folks and "The puzzles should drive the plot." If you're a puzzle person, you might find this game a bit overrated. If you're a story person, you'll fall in love with this game. I sure did.
