It has been a long 7 years since the release of The Longest Journey for the arrival of this sequel. In all respects, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey succeeds in upholding the legacy left by the original. It is contemporary interactive fiction at its best. Its unique blend of storytelling and gameplay should appeal to a broad range of gamers beyond those who are loyal to the adventure genre. It is a rare gem and an instant classic which rises above the mediocrity that currently saturates the gaming market. Given this game is the second title of a planned trilogy, there is much to look forward to finishing the final chapter of this epic odyssey.
