Fans have come a long way with this series, and supported it with hard earned cash - we deserve a summary of our exploits at the very least. Even knowing all the ins and outs, to see it summarized is tantamount to the experience as a whole. I guess you could argue that at this point only hardcore fans are following the series, and this isn't REALLY a good point of entry, but what a huge ball dropped.

However to say it was brief is an understatement, and it left out some critical information from the ORIGINAL game that has a huge impact on the universe at large as well as character motivations. Upon start-up of the game there IS an option for a quick recap, which is narrated by the games leading protagonists. This is something I was sure the re-release of Dreamfall Chapters would remedy, after all this is the FINAL chapter. Maybe its just me, but everything from the plot to the characterization and even the visuals seemed to have deteriorated tremendously for this final chapter, in such a way that it begs you to consider: were the pre-quells really any better? I wanted to re-experience the story, but apart from some mashed together clips on YouTube there isn't really a good synopsis of the story thus far (and it is a convoluted one), which kind of leaves newcomers at a disadvantage. As a fan of The Longest Journey and somebody who was fairly pleased with the Dreamfall saga as a whole I must say.this game has not aged As a fan of The Longest Journey and somebody who was fairly pleased with the Dreamfall saga as a whole I must say.this game has not aged well.
