Dreamfall: The Longest Journey reviews

Translated by

Falling in the unusual game universe and colorful characters of the original The Longest Journey I wanted to continue the banquet. But, I will say at once, for the game in Dreamfall not necessarily play in the first part, as there is a completely new story, brewing a new conflict, new characters. Of Course, without old acquaintances and locations from the previous game was not. Also, if You decide to buy, you will necessarily have to buy and Dreamfall Chapters, because it is essentially one big story, divided into 2 games. I am Very sorry for those who have been waiting for the continuation since 2006). As for me, the controversial work came out. Kind of added a lot of new pages of local history, new characters, location, there were some brainwave twists, and the game is now not point & click, and Adventura from the third person. For some Reason, added elements of Boevki and Stelsa, which here only spoil the impression of the game. Instead of complicated puzzles appeared mini-games with burglary. Items in the inventory more than 4 I did not wear, in contrast to the original, where there were 2 pages scored by all sorts of trinkets to solve problems. Like, in general, the game liked and I would even recommend it. This is still the same amazing universe, the same atmosphere, cool characters and voice. In This adventure we are given to play for three characters. One of them is the main heroine of the last part of April Ryan. The Plot is already built not to preserve the balance between the world of Science (Stark) and the World of Magic (Arcadia), and around several conflicts. In Arcadia: Confrontation of technologically advanced people from Azadir, who occupied Mercury, in order to impose his faith and build in the city of a huge tower (whose purpose we know exactly only in Dreamfall Chapters) and local Population in the face of the rebels, led by April Ryan. In Stark, things are a little more complicated: Zoe Castillo is trying to find a missing guy who collected dirt to publish about a certain VATI corporation. Just the central character of this and the next game is Zoe. She and the visionary, who can through a dream to project themselves into other worlds, she and the person who is able to dig to the truth about VATI, about the missing guy, about the big project Aingan, about a girl who is in the form of interference on the monitors, O.... Yes in short a lot of things, because we have such a good boy and expose there is someone. It also turns out that the worlds are woven from dreams and some Sleepless can destroy everything, and only Zoe can solve everything. But The main motive of the game is faith. Each of the three characters of the faith that fades, then grows, and by the end of the game we can observe the contrast between what they were and what they were. In Short, the script writers, and the story was added just a lot of holes. The Story is not holistic and the finale is open. The Plot has been gaining momentum for too long, at first it is possible to tout several times. It is Very difficult to perceive Dreamfall TLJ as a separate game. There is an Intrigue, interesting characters are, the plot is multifaceted, but everything is somehow chaotic and unconvincing. Personally, I liked the story in an old Quest 1999, enjoyed a lot more.
