I would have updated this by now but I've been too busy playing the game that will take spot #5. :shobon: Will try to get it sorted by the end of the weekend! xD This has now literally taken over a year, despite me intending to finish on day #365. Honeymoons are distracting.
The honeymoon activities are game number five? This is supposed to be family-friendly, BoB!Quote:

Why the hell am I seeing MANUS all over in that pic? You have some sick fetish or something? And he appears to be some soft of top player. :screwy:Quote:

But the characters! The writing! The voice acting too! These are the things that make this game and I don't think this will be the last time I play the game all the way through.
While April is a great protagonist (and Crow an excellent sidekick), most of the NPCs are all great, from my favourite sarcastic ship captain to a race that that talks in past, present and future tense all at once in peculiar fashion. Little bonuses for finishing the game include hearing some of the bloopers from the voice recordings for the game, which is something I feel is a very novel reward that a lot of games can pick up on.
It's hard to really go into detail beyond that, unfortunately! It's just the great writing, great characters and great voice acting. That's what make an otherwise good game into an absolute great for me, at least in this case. :D
I have this ready to play at some point! It's on the list. Like so many of my games. ;_;
Drop everything and play this, now!Quote:

How weird, I'm also currently playing this for the second time, after many years. I have no idea how I did some of the puzzles as a child. xD
Oh man, I know right? The Maerum crystal puzzle and the telephone statue puzzles did my nut in.
Loony BoB introduced me to this game and the sequel earlier this year when I was talking about my plans for Women's Month where I reviewed a bunch of games starring strong female protagonists. Time well spent. After playing both games I'm surprised that more people aren't familiar with the franchise.
Okay so with my honeymoon out of the way I suppose I may as well finish off this list, huh? xD Right.
Dreamfall! Well, if The Longest Journey was going to sit at #5, Dreamfall was always going to be in the top four. Sure, the controls are a bit clunky. Sure, the puzzles are insanely easy compared to the first game, but in the defence of Dreamfall the puzzles in TLJ had me in GameFAQs even when I replayed the thing. The graphics, however, are naturally better, the game is now 3D (third person angle), the story complex and arguably better than the original, the writing equally excellent and the voice acting somehow even better. I love The Longest Journey games and I am massively excited for the final game in the trilogy which is coming out this year.
My favourite character is again Crow, but there are many excellent characters once more - a special shoutout goes to Blind Bob - and it was cool seeing a number of characters from the previous game again, and seeing how life had changed for them. Even the locations! Just really loved the game. And the writer should get hired by Square Enix because he is probably the best in the business.
Apart from, you know, the GIGANTIC EFFING CLIFFHANGER. :stare: DREAMFALL CHAPTERS. COME OUT ALREADY.
I'm okay with this.
