Nice to se the occasional review out of the Adrenaline Vault. This latest one is for Dreeamfall, with a score of 4/5:In a PC gaming market inundated with massively-multiplayer online games, first person shooters, and real-time strategy offerings, it's refreshing to see that the granddaddy of computer entertainment genres, the adventure, is still alive and kicking. While the big names of the past like Sierra and LucasArts regrettably no longer uphold the adventure gaming tradition, Norwegian developer Funcom has filled in nicely. Funcom, best known for their Anarchy Online releases, came out with the Avault Seal of Excellence award-winning adventure title, The Longest Journey, in 1999. Despite receiving critical acclaim, a sequel seemed far off for this graphical adventure, but designer Ragnar Tørnquist was determined to continue the story of heroine April Ryan. The result, after 3 years of development, is the newest chapter in the epic series: Dreamfall. |
