The Longest Journey is one of the highest acclaimed adventure games of all time, but you needn’t play it to enjoy Dreamfall, a worthy sequel which improves upon its predecessor in pretty much every way.

Being put in the shoes of a female, you often play as Zoey, a young woman whose only objective is getting by in the world as her dad barks orders at her to get a job and her boyfriend gives her the “it’s not you, it’s me” speech.

After constant beatings in her personal life, Zoey soon finds herself on an exciting and unpredictable adventure. One in which she comes across many colourful characters, including former world shifting protagonist April Ryan.

Identical to the Telltale formula, the core of the game is long cutscenes in which you can occasionally choose how to react. There is also simple combat, but it is the many explorable open spaces and stereotypical adventure puzzles which will most whet the appetites of Telltale junkies.

Its characters have problems that millennials can identify with, its story is exceptionally well-written and it has a bit more gameplay than what is traditionally offered by Telltale. It’s on Steam and it still looks good, so there is absolutely no reason for you not to play it.
