Just finished Book 5, and felt this sadness that this is it. The end of a story that for me started 17 years ago. No more Stark. No more Marcuria. No more April Ryan. I loved the original The Longest Journey. And I also loved its sequel, Dreamfall. I remember tearing up at the end of Dreamfall and felt the cliffhanger was unfair to my feels. :( But Dreamfall Chapters finally continues the storyline and there is a sense of closure at the end. This is a story that makes you think. Gameplay wise it's similar to Dreamfall, not the original The Longest Journey. Plus they completely got rid of the terrible action sequences found in the previous game. Puzzles are very simple, but there are times where you're just pixel hunting for the right hotspot. I did have to rely on a walkthough at one occasion just to figure out where the hotspot was. I also want to add that I used a gamepad (a Logitech Rumblepad 2 in X-Input mode). The pad was recognized and worked perfectly. I don't usually use gamepads for PC games, but being that this is practically an interactive movie (but an amazing one at that), I just had to sit back on a couch in the dark and immerse myself in the game world. Yes, there are some unanswered questions, but it is to be expected as the world the game is set on is very complex. But I won't spoil anything. But just want to put out there that personally I felt closure. Overall, the game is truly meant for mature audiences, there is lots swearing, violence, sex, and all that good stuff. I appreciate Red Thread Games not skimping on this, because they fit perfectly in the dark setting of the game events. Overall, I absolutely recommend this game if you've played the previous game in the series. And if you haven't that, I highly recommend that game as well (followed by this one of course).
