![]() ![]() The strongest element of Dreamfall Chapters is it’s story. This might not be a wholly new system but having this in an adventure game is something I’ve never seen before. Also after each episode you get a nice recap of your choices and see how other people reacted. These choices never alter the overarching story but do give different scenes and add some welcome replayability. Every so often you’ll be given a choice and the ability to gently tailor your game. Where it differs from other modern adventure games is in a branching narrative similar to what you’d find in a Telltale game. You can see from here it sticks very close to the genre staples. Inventory comes with the same adventure game tropes you’ve seen before so you’ll be combining items and examining them in a detailed 3D model. Its a nice idea which keeps the story fresh and keeps the tension high.Ĭontrol is acceptable although navigating any tight turns can feel clunky which is something many other adventure games suffer from, but as ever the game never requires split second inputs this isn’t an issue. As the story follows both Zoe and Kian you’ll spend half of your time in a dystopian future and the other in a medieval past, with control generally switching over after key plot reveals for the other story. Things are played from a third person perspective and there are puzzles and a boat load of story to see you through. I can easily say this is the better game but, thats not a big hurdle to overcome, the question is how good a game it actually is.įrom the off this game is appealing to a limited audience as it is a modern adventure game with point and click style puzzles. At almost every turn Dreamfall Chapters provides solutions to the issues I had with Syberia 3, from the story recap at the start through to the decent voice acting and facial animation. ![]() I recently reviewed Syberia 3 which in many ways is very similar to this game, luckily though there is one major difference and that is the fact Dreamfall Chapters is actually a good game. Originally this game was released as an episodic game over five parts, this PlayStation 4 release now collects them all together in one complete package. Following on from the story in The Longest Journey and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, Dreamfall Chapters continues the story of Zoe and Kian as they go their own unique, yet seemingly linked, adventures.
