TWW is a touching and beautifully put together story about a boy who... well, you'll find out. Gorgeous art and a vibrant, imaginative world really drew me in, so that I still think back to the game years after playing it. I enjoyed the voice acting, even Sadwick's voice, which many lament as annoying; I found it to be hilarious! I will concede that the puzzles are difficult and often illogical, but I suppose I expect a degree of that in point-and-click adventure games, and using a walkthrough, as a consequence, doesn't bother me much. It was the story and the characters, the incredible world they inhabit, and the haunting music (the music!) that kept me playing. Truly beautiful!
While a beautiful game visually, Dreamfall lacks the depth and gameplay of The Longest Journey. Not only this, but the story seems to invalidate all that April worked for, distort her as a character, and then stop. Meaning, just as I thought we were ramping up for the 2nd half of the game, the credits rolled. The death of a dream!
