So I'm finally playing Dreamfall Chapters (only 4 years after its full release), and I love it so far!  The Longest Journey is my all time, number 1, favorite pc game. Then years ago, I was so excited for Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, only to be sorely disappointed. I hated the action/fighting sequences with a passion, and the cliffhanger ending was horrible! So disappointing. I was probably also just disappointed about how much April had changed, and how little you were able to play her. I didn't really care for the other characters (Zoe and Kian). So when I heard about Dreamfall Chapters coming out, and how it would be episodic, with each chapter being released one at a time, I was no longer excited for the franchise. Then I stopped gaming for a bit, while life got in the way, and I didn't have a pc for a time. I just got back into gaming a couple years ago, and after watching a youtube "Let's Play" of Dreamfall: The longest journey, just as a recap, I decided to give Chapters a try. And I am not disappointed so far!!  I am not finished yet, so NO SPOILERS PLEASE! But omg, it's fantastic, and I am loving running into all these old characters from the original game: Brian Westhouse still around, Abnaxus, Ben Bandu, Roper Klacks, Crow!! I know some of those were in the previous game, but I'm happily surprised they're still around for this one. And Zoe and Kian have grown on me, although I still miss April.  So far, it seems like a perfect wrap-up to my all time, favorite game storyline. And the graphics!!  This may just be one I'll have to play and replay, just like the OG. I really hope the ending does not disappoint. Who else loved this game??  I REPEAT, NO SPOILERS ABOUT THE ENDING PLEASE. Just started chapter 10.

Good to hear that you are loving this game. For me, it was just okay. There were things I liked and things I didn't. But that is how a lot of games are for me  . I hope you enjoy the ending. Come back and let us know.

Yes. Glad you are enjoying it, Tristy  For me, like oldbroad, sadly it was just "alright".

Oh no, really? I'm surprised you guys weren't fans, but I guess not every game is everyone's cup of tea. I was not a fan of the second game at all. But they definitely improved upon things in this one, imho. I love it so far, don't want it to end, and definitely see myself replaying it, much like the original TLJ.

I too liked it Tristy, and it is better if played through in one go in my opinion (rather than with big breaks between Chapters). Have fun with the rest 
Quantity has a quality all of its own

OK, I finished the game yesterday. And wow, beautiful ending......SPOILERS AHEAD.... I loved the part with Saga in her house as an old woman at the end, preparing to meet April Ryan. And Crow was there.  It really was a great wrap up to everything. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that Brian Westhouse turned out to be the bad guy though. Weird, and sad. But overall, a great game! I'll be excited to replay it at some point, and make some different choices.
