Lewis Denby at HonestGamers writes: "Returning to The Longest Journey, I found that I didn’t always enjoy it. But crucially, I never stopped loving it. And when you look back at a game, a really special game, and think about how desperately you want everyone else to have played it, one of those concepts becomes a lot more important than the other. The Longest Journey isn't perfect, but in that imperfection lies something hugely special: something so magical, and so human. It isn't the best adventure game I've ever played, but it is the one I adore the most."
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "Endings can have a profound effect on a person's opinion on any story in any medium, from film and TV to books and video games. A great ending can elevate a story to new heights, while a disappointing one can instantly undo all the work done in the story before that one moment. Sometimes, the element that ties everything together at the end can also just be a piece of music, as proven by the following games."
BacklogCritic: "Funcom’s daring attempt at creating an adventure game – a genre in severe decline by the mid-2000s – is an ambitious, yet supremely flawed project where gameplay is eschewed in favour of narrative."
Ryan Crocker from GameGrin writes, "It pains me to admit this, but I've been playing point 'n' click adventure games for close to 30 years. That's actual decades. (Christ on a bike, man! Think of what great things you might have accomplished if you hadn't spent all that time lounging about like some pasty, goggle-eyed slug!) When LucasArts released its seminal adventure 'The Secret Of Monkey Island', I was a spotty adolescent who would routinely shun any form of social interaction in favour of sitting in the dark in front of my beloved Amiga 500. Many were the hours I spent combining a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle with a packet of breath mints in an often futile attempt to accomplish some impossibly silly task. My parents were of the view it was an embarrassing waste of time; time better spent mowing the lawn. I vehemently disagreed. I still do."
This is one of the greatest games ever made. Funcom really need to pull their act together and finish off the trilogy..
ive played dream fall and it is one of the most awesome games ive played till this day...
i tried to play the longest journey but the pc version wasnt working well with my pc...
that really bother me... i reach arcadia it was awesome.. but then the game crash on the police station back on stark... and i couldnt make it work anymore =(
i think i will look for a play trough on youtube...
i recommend it to anyone.. both the longest journey and Dreamfall
Longest Journey was one of the best point-and-click games ever produced. There are very few companies which release such games these days. They're usually online downloadable games through various websites. It's a shame, I miss the days of PaC games. Kings's Quest, Quest for Glory, Gabriel Knight..... Those were the good old days.
were pretty challenging.
This has to be the most memorable PAC game I ever player. The story is so rich. Also, the characters have so much personality.
A trip down memory lane.Two awesome games.I hope funcom should release the third one.
