Dreamfall Chapters

I can't remember why I picked this up as it's a bit off my normal RPG preferences. However, I really enjoyed revealing Zoe's story despite the fact that I totally failed to figure out Saga's part in the overall plot. Ooops. Not that it was critical or anything... The end result was that I went back to the second one in the series and enjoyed that too, then went hunting for the original one. Unfortunately I never finished April's origin story because of a bug in the emulator.

It's very rare for me to go back to original games that are decades old, so AFAIAC that says a lot for the entire trilogy.

Haven't seen it before but I like that when you hover over choices you get an inner commentary of the characters thoughts which I feel like really help you understanding the implications of meaning behind a choice.

have played TLJ then played again before dreamfall then having about ten years until chapters, then currently finished TLJ last week, then immediately dreamfall . now finally the final cut /WHAT A STORY. WHAT A DREAM. i will absolutely forever worship ragnar tornquist the ursula k leguin of visual storytelling. Just in the start of the second chapter. it s very different with the baby reborn stuff in a(hopefully still) very different place. I love this world to bits. cheesy d& d steampunk meets cyberpunk in a brilliant surrealist philosophy. it might not have much gameplay but who cares. it is so insanely good. and the replay in a short amount of time, made me realise how deeply everything is so much more connected than my playing this 6 16 and 26 years ago. what a journey. what a story and what a dream 10/10 . only paralleled with myst. but really you cannot not play the first game

Fun story to make it all the way through all 3 games finally. Sucks there will probably not be another one but at the same time, meh. Once you introduce a character like 'Saga' who just knows everything in life; It must be pretty hard to write yourself out of a narrative corner like that one.
The adventures of Euro trash girl (protagonists favorite tv show) and eunuch assassin man, now with no combat or assassinations. Unless you count a rat I dropped in a pipe once, that rat for sure dead. The game picks up more in the second half. The first half had a lot of back and forth down this one street in Stark(science dimension) over and over and I really don't think (minor spoiler) That watti corp plot with the corrupt government and the militarized police lockdown kind of fizzled out to a meh conclusion. It's minor since the plot ended up being pretty minor. Watti corp has no main villains or anything in this game. Is just faceless evil corporate backdrop for the Stark sections.
The game has a few loose ends and I'm only going to talk about one.
I fed fake Rezza the sausages he was allergic to knowingly, and I'd do it again!
Second game Dreamfall: The longest journey end game spoilers ahead:
Seriously, what is the deal with this guys plot. The whole entire second game was literally about looking for this guy. The main villain literally gives you this dialogue along the lines of "he only connected for a moment, but was all I needed. I sucked out all of his being until there was nothing left but a empty husk" You in a coma in the end and he walks in and your dream self is like "I don't know who he is, be careful dad" but in this game I guess they retcon'd the whole having your entire being sucked out until nothing was left to just a little brain scrambly tumbly. In the most Terry Pratchet voiced way, "he got better".

Great game, just don't expect the wonders that you experienced playing the first two. If you're looking at this series for the first time, then GET THOSE GAMES INSTEAD (The Longest Journey 1 and 2).

It's very nice having a modern and pretty Dreamfall/TLJ game. Is it worse than its predecessors? Probably. It's not quite as charming and brilliantly narrated, although still very good. The world building of the whole series is just so amazing. In my book, it's one of the greatest fantasy worlds ever created. And Dreamfall Chapters really lets you soak that in.

Played this straight after the first 2 ones. It holds up to his predecessors, its main selling points are an inspiring story with great visuals and locations, that sadly has many plot holes and inconsistencies scattered around, some of which the game will address in a very inadequate way. The story shines when seen in its full great scope and very upclose from the chartacters point of view, but fails to gracefully connect in the middle. This leads to many loose threads and some useless and forgettable NPCs,
Puzzles are better than in the second entry, but still weak. The choice system is as disappointing as any other choice system, a complete waste of development resources and it doesn't affect the final outcome.
Not a masterpiece, still a worthy final chapter. I hoped better
