    Dreamfall is an amazing journey that propels players into a world where science and magic and art and music combine to make a whole much greater than the sum of its parts.

    In other words, it's prescribed, with reservations, for patient The Longest Journey zealots only. [Jun 2006, p.115]

    Very good game, in some parts a bit to hard to control, but you have all the time you need.

    The same in-depth story/clever dialog that you have come to expect from the original "Longest Journey" are in this sequel. However you, in no way control any of the events that transpire, and have no control over where conversations go. The gameplay and fight system are extremely boring, and uninvolving. I would enjoy seeing this in a movie, rather than "playing" through it as a videogame.… Expand

    Beware. No character improvement, no collecting to speak of, no money, unsatisfying puzzles and almost no action. It is very much like navigating a cartoon through a melodrama. The story is kind of neat, but there is more story then game, and I wanted to play a game with choices and stategy. I can see why some people like it, I guess I'm just not one of those people.… Expand
