  The Longest Journey series is a collection of inhabitable moments and by the end of this act, I appreciated what each moment had amounted to. This is emphasized by the radically tense cliffhanger the episode goes out on, which had me questioning every step that led up to it. ...Book Two succeeds in reminding us that our destination may be predetermined, but our path is not. It's how we choose to travel, and who we keep by our side, that makes the journey worthwhile.

  By ignoring so much of the first chapter’s successful formula, Dreamfall Chapters: Book 2 digs into some of the larger issues that may come to shape the overall game. But the price it pays feels too steep. Where Book 1 felt deliberate in its missions and deep in its narrative asides, Book 2 plays like too many ideas mashed into a single package.

  The main plot of Dreamfall Chapters has still yet to begin in earnest, but the character writing and world building are more than strong enough to carry us through to the next act. A lot does happen in this second episode — fates are changed, important decisions are made and the events to come are beginning to take shape. Red Thread Games has given us two spectacular worlds to explore, and while actually getting around those worlds can be a bit of a hassle, they’re still well worth visiting.

  With enough likeable characters, intrigue regarding the overarching tale, and the lure of seeing how decisions already made will continue to affect future proceedings, however, this latest Dreamfall Chapters edition is well worth grinding through before diving into Book Three: Realms for more juicy revelations.

  Erzählerisch präsentiert sich das Adventure wieder ausgesprochen stark: Viele Entscheidungen aus der ersten Episode haben sich bereits einschneidend auf die Welt ausgewirkt. Auch die Gespräche wirken wieder tiefgründig: Wenn ich nur lange genug nachbohre, wird mir langsam aber sicher klar, warum z.B. Kian so gebrochen und traumatisiert wirkt. ...Daher reicht es auch leider nicht mehr für eine ausreichende Wertung - so sehr es mir für die gelungenen Story-Ansätze leid tut.

  I primi tre episodi della serie sono molto più di un'avventura narrativa a bivi. Certo, ci sono decisioni da prendere in abbondanza, e le conseguenze a breve termine delle nostre scelte si vedono subito, ma ciò che rende Dreamfall Chapters superiore è la vastità del suo mondo, che possiamo esplorare oltre i confini fisici del gioco grazie a una narrazione densa e vigorosa.
