It’s not a big complaint, certainly not enough to detract from the game in my opinion.īoth worlds feel far more lived in and have more character. A couple of sequences require you to search your surroundings very carefully to find some needed objects, and I eventually had to consult a guide to find some of them. Puzzles in the game are generally straightforward, although there a few modern day equivalents of the classic pixel hunt.
But of course, this game is really all about the story and choices you make. Inventory management is also simpler than the previous game and still supports investigating and combining objects to solve puzzles.
Highlighting interactive objects in the game world is more intuitive, and the characters seem to move better in general and you’ll do a fair bit of walking and running during the course of the game. To begin, the controls felt a lot more fluid. Zoe and Kian from the previous title are still the main protagonists, but I think this game improves on D:TLJ in almost every way. Like its predecessors before it, Chapters takes place across the two worlds, Stark and Arcadia.
This brings us to Dreamfall: Chapters, which follows directly on from the second game. Overall though, it was great to have more adventures across Stark and Arcadia. Stealth sections were also a bit of a low point. This game also included some awkward combat, but luckily there isn’t much of it. Once again, I really enjoyed the story, dialogue and voice work. You get to play as Zoë Castillo, a young woman who seems to have lost her direction in the lift, and Kian Alvane, a zealous assassin. This game starred two new protagonists and follows on some time after the events of the first game. Seven years had passed since TLJ and D:TLJ had transitioned to a 3D adventure game. I thoroughly enjoyed this game and it was the reason I jumped at the chance to review Chapters.īefore starting Chapters, I decided I had to finally pull Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (D:TLJ)out of my “I’ll get to it” pile. Apart from classic adventure tropes you also get to make decisions about April’s personal life, and there are choices that affect the story in the game.
The dialogue between April, her friends and others she meets is a highlight. The game starts by navigating her ordinary life as an art student and continues as events become weirder (and more awesome). The Longest Journey tells the story of its heroine, April Ryan, a seemingly ordinary young woman who gets caught up in a magical adventure. If you’re short on patience, or like lots of guns and explosions, well, just keep that in mind while reading. I also need to admit that I am a big fan of the Longest Journey games and old style adventure games in general. Why? Well, if you plan on playing Chapters (spoiler alert: I think you should), then you really need to go back and play the games in order, or risk missing out on some great story and characters. However, dear reader, before we get to Chapters, we really need to briefly cover the game where it all started, namely, The Longest Journey (TLJ), and its sequel, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. This is a review about Dreamfall Chapters, an adventure game spanning two different universes, Stark a place of science and Arcadia, one of magic.
