With two very different worlds comes two very different sets of characters, storylines, and important events. Developers often struggle to immerse players in a single setting, but Dreamfall Chapters is entirely committed to both, and it works brilliantly. It’s very much like playing in the game world of Deus Ex for an hour or two before being plunged into a Skyrim-type setting. Those with past experience of the franchise will no doubt be aware of much deeper and more important ties between the two. While the two worlds seem separate at first, subtle similarities emerge for those with a keen eye and more obvious and hard-hitting connections become apparent later down the line. One embraces the future of technology and science-fiction in every way, while the other proudly holds its roots in the realm of fantasy and magic. Aesthetically, the two couldn’t be any more different. The franchise takes place in two parallel universes: a cyberpunk future take on earth and the magical fantasy realm of Arcadia. However, anybody looking to immerse themselves in one of the most intricate and emotionally-driven storylines in modern gaming have found their game. There’s very few combat scenarios throughout the game, so adrenaline junkies won’t find much here worth shouting about. However, as someone that had next to no experience with the previous games, I’m delighted to report that there’s plenty here for those that have yet to sample the wonders of The Longest Journey.Īt its core, Dreamfall Chapters is a modern take on the point and click genre, with the vast majority of gameplay involving simple movement actions and interaction with the characters and environments you encounter. With the roots of the franchise sitting somewhere in the late 90s, there’s a good chance many of today’s budding adventure gamers would overlook a franchise they know little about. It immerses players in the final saga of an epic story that has spanned nearly two decades.
The recently released PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game are the complete edition of the game, and include all five episodes. Offering two parallel universes with unique themes, characters, and environments, has Dreamfall Chapters stood the test of time or is this one for the history books?
It’s the third game in The Longest Journey franchise, following on from The Longest Journey and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, and was originally released between 20 on PC.
Dreamfall Chapters is an episodic adventure game that pays tribute to the point and click games of yesteryear, with a modern take on exploration, character interaction, and a vibrant game world.
