Good story, strong characters, some of the worst fighting mechanics I've ever engaged with, Dreamfall is a noticeable step down from the first title in the series.

People play the Dreamfall series for the story, and I think the world here is super interesting, but the storytelling here didn't hold my interest as much as The Longest Journey did. There's too much running around IMO, and the multiple perspectives aren't balanced as well as they could have been. The environmental world building is very good however, each place feels distinct and lived in.

Very clearly act two in a three act narrative, I'm very much looking forward to Dreamfall: Chapters. There's a lot of interesting ways this story could go and I'm intrigued to see where it ends up!
