There simply is no game that gets closer to perfect than this. All they could have done was give us more of the same (and for that see Dreamfall and Dreamfall Chapters). The characters are realistic, deep and engaging offering consistency and surprise in the measure we would expect from a great novel rather than a computer game. The setting is immersive and comprehensive, with the feeling that there is more around every corner and that the developers have given thought to areas of the world considerably beyond the borders of the story. The plot is epic and appropriately so to the genre, characters and story. Often with such epic plots, character gets lost or trivialised but not so here. In TLJ - the plot is epic as much because of the characters rather than despite them and they soar with it without losing any of their believability or subtle vulnerability. The puzzles are, almost exclusively, logical and well thought out. And thus we avoid the all-too-often problem with the genre's addiction to challenging you through gaps of logic in the chain of a puzzle's solution. The voice acting is second to none, full of depth and emotion but devoid of melodrama. And the animation, for a game of its time, is fantastic. The vistas of the worlds you explore draw you in with curiosity and fascination, making you want to explore every nook and corner. I just wish all games were like this...
