The Longest Wait
May. 21st, 2011 01:31 pmI finished playing The Longest Journey and Dreamfall, it's sequel. There's no spoilers to give away for Dreamfall because THERE'S NO RESOLUTIONS TO ANY BUT ONE OF THE TEN+ DAMNED PLOT LINES! RAWR! TLJ resolves everything it presents, but Dreamfall was specifically being intended as a first of many parts. So, I can only hope the developer is just putting on the final touches, although he's been pretty busy on another project. Dreamfall Chapters has been on the table for quite some time.
Still, it's well worth playing both of these immersive RPGs if you are into those kinds of games. Even with having to keep the damned walkthrough open for TLJ (and I'm a pro-puzzle gamer!), I'd still recommend it for the immersive and story factor. Dreamfall manages to take the shiny, happy worlds portrayed in TLJ and thrusts in a little bit of Silent Hill creepiness and we're a little older than twelve adult themes, much to my happiness.
Culpa Innata was another one that was both frustrating as hell, yet good enough to leave me wanting the next installment that's been indefinitely stalled.
That's frustrating as hell. I really wish I could be a multi-bajillionaire just to fund some of these lesser-known Indie groups. If nothing else, I could be the primary test player for them. :)
At least Dreamfall managed to pick one hell of a closing credits song.
