Great game let down by some very annoying flaws

User Rating: 8.7 | Dreamfall: The Longest Journey PC
With the intense characters and excellent story of its predecessor, Dreamfall is one of the best adventure games that you can get today. Combining excellent puzzle and action elements with some of the most in depth character work I have ever seen.

As soon as you start playing Dreamfall, you should be prepared to warp through hours at a time. Dreamfall is a game that draws you in, and makes you forget about the time you spend in front of it. It is so adictive that you might look at your watch and realize that it's 5:00 in the morning and your still wanting to go on.

Aside from excellent character work and one of the best stories in a game, the game suffers from minor drawbacks that may seem trivial, but lead to major frustration. Combat in the game is a painstaking affair, with clunky controls and delayed actions. Frequent load times break up the flowing story, and lackluster graphics make the characters fail to live up to themselves.
