The reason being that I have been aware of the games for quite some time and remain cautiously optimistic that they may well see ports on GOG or the like someday and would like to play them natively.įor the most part, I still found the game very engaging, but still find myself scratching my head when a character is introduced who clearly played a role in one of the previous games and we’re introduced like old friends. I took the approach of getting a rough idea on the characters and goings on with the previous games, without entering into too much detail. However, those who haven’t played the original two games (being in that camp myself) will benefit greatly from doing a bit of prior research. To give a bit more background on the game, there is a highly complex lore, character and location list and quite a bit of backstory to digest - all of which can be very rewarding and make the world(s) feel very much alive. Though, unfortunately, the original two games - released in 20 - do not have a Linux ports. Those still concerned about performance should take a look at the other article, and also take it with a pinch of salt considering performance is likely to vary somewhat depending on hardware.įor those not familiar with the series, Dreamfall Chapters is the third instalment of the widely-praised Longest Journey point-and-click adventure games which take place in the two equally intriguing and seemingly opposite worlds of Stark and Arcadia. I have yet to finish Book 4, but nonetheless, this will be a spoiler-free review that discusses the game as a whole rather than each specific part. I previously covered the game’s performance improvements, and thanks to those, the game can now be discussed on its own merits rather than get bogged down in the numerous performance issues. Dreamfall Chapters Book 4 has been released, accompanied by a major engine update and the time seems apt for a review.
