Dreamfall: The Longest Journey

When I first laid eyes on this game, I knew I was destined to play it. And oh, was I right. It’s surely a game that won’t be for everyone, but I loved every minute of it. There was funny dialogue, a real sense of fantasy, and so many memorable characters. I loved interacting with every NPC and exploring everything to the fullest. Zoe was also a fantastic protagonist, and I really loved following her story. I’m honestly sad games like this aren’t being made anymore. But let’s face it, there are way too many things left unanswered, probably the most I’ve ever seen in a game. I really hope the next game clears some things up, because I wasn’t too fond of the way certain things were left, although I do wonder if it had something to do with budget issues or limitations. All in all, definitely a game that will stick with me for a long time.

My favorite series, you have to play all three though! The story and the characters are so dear to my heart, I wish everyone could play it. Don`t be to scared of the old graphics, the story is worth it. And it is fun to play anyhow!

The creator of the series loves feminism a bit too much to the detriment of the story being "believable". Let me explain. So, there's an oppressive force in the game that occupied the city of Arcadia, and rules with iron fist: mass incarcerations, executions, suppression, segregation, all the classics. It's a typical dictatorship, with islamic flavor added to it, and you know what kind of people rule over countries like that. But can you guess who governs over this regime in this game? If you didn't guess "a council of young girls", you're not progressive enough. I can't play a narrative focused game where the narrative itself doesn't work.

NUTS this game was ahead of its time, I got the cd as a present when I was around 13? I was brainless to proceed. Never played it , decided I should now. I'm flabbergasted, Very good plot I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS. I will need to dig in those extras soon and figure it out. WHAT A PLOT BRUH, It would be a great movie too, Someone fund it ;D (People complain the gameplay was too easy, yes okay, enjoyed the story more. If it wasn't for that a dork like me would never manage to finish it, For once i enjoyed without stressing over, not every game needs to torture you) Anyway buy it.

Suspenseful story; beautiful visuals that allow the player to engage. Great exotic settings that make you want to stick around and explore. Well-crafted, interesting riddles; good voice acting. However, the story is hard to interpret as a coherent line of events, as the point of the story is inconspicuous, as is the role of some characters in it. Still trying to fugure out exactly what is at stake in the world and why it is important to have two dimensions or shifters.

Overall, I enjoyed this game. The best part for me is the story just like in the first game (The Longest Journey). Although, the story didn't feel resolved so I have many questions still. But the third game (Dreamfall Chapters) is available to play anyway.
