Unfortunately some areas come across as quite sparse. The style of game allows for this of course, it is basically a fixed setting with you wandering around interacting with items and people. Visually, as mentioned, Dreamfall Chapters is beautiful. There is definitely some interesting concepts but as with any beliefs or religion it is up to the individual to decide, me, well it is all just another fictional game to me. You can read into these philosophies as much, or little, as you want. The game itself has some quite deep philosophical ideas and even has been said to draw on Aboriginal Mythology, especially the idea of Dreamtime for inspiration. All while on your own longest journey, your life. You move between the parallel worlds and control different characters to resolve this nasty conspiracy. There is also a quick in game recap for players who may have forgotten the previous stories.īasically Dreamfall Chapters has you living in the distant future with a parallel universe called Arcadia and a big bad conspiracy to enslave people by stealing their dreams. The storyline could be see as a bit complex if you don’t have any knowledge of the previous games but a quick read of the wiki pages for The Longest Journey and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey will have you up to speed in no time. Think of it as the opposite to Dark Souls. It looks great, not childish, and not going to kill you off every time you stop to think or make a bad decision. Or maybe these games are now too mundane and slow paced for our hectic, need everything now, style of living.ĭon’t get me wrong, Dreamfall Chapters is a beautifully artistic game that will be enjoyed by many, it would be a great gateway game to entice more people into gaming. Unfortunately I’m am far from convinced that these games work well on consoles.
