    This is not a game. It is a masterpiece of digital art. Incredible story + fun + great game dynamics + not so bad graphics. Probably this game changed my perspective for point & click adventures. A must try for everyone.

    you have the feeling your are in an interactive movie and not in a game. the game itself consists of some outraged and poorly creative puzzles . probably many of you need to look up the solutions.
    dialogues are lenghty and boring after a time in this inflated fantasy world

    Хорошая игра. Не шедевр, как многие говорят, но история мне понравилась. Проблема разве что в нелогичных головоломках и парочке затянутых моментов, ну и концовка маленько разочаровала.

    I’ve never been a huge fan of point-and-click games (which I associate with absurd puzzles getting you stuck in a middle of somewhat good story - infuriating) and, honestly, till now I hadn’t heard a word about this game.

Apparently though, it is one of the genre’s classics and one of the best point-and-clicks of all times. This was how it was pitched to me by a friend (an enthusiast of such games) and we ended up playing it together. And boy, was the journey long…

    TLJ is the first game from Funcom, a Norwegian studio, released in 1999. And you can clearly see it’s 22 years old: low poly models, prendered backrounds etc. The visuals are not hideous though, it’s just clearly visible it’s an old game. Classic, creepy FMVs are also there, don’t worry.

    My experience with this renowned classic started with manipulating the game’s files. Because, unfortunately, as Windows 10 is not able to run old stuff properly, clicking mechanism in the game was completely broken, making TLJ unplayable. Fortunately, this wasn’t only my problem and after going through a short tutorial, I managed to somehow fix it. SOMEHOW, because clicking was still broken but a bit less. Welp.

    Nevertheless, we jumped into the story and initially I was sure it’s a kind of a gate keeping game, that is supposed to keep the noobs out of the point-and-click business. One of the first puzzles is 1) timed, so good luck with broken mouse clicks 2) so abstract that unless you follow a walkthrough, trial and error seems to be the only method to solve it. Luckily, a veteran was supporting me – and after making it to the 4th chapter (out of 13) the plot actually started to be intriguing and my annoyance dropped down a little.

    Nevertheless, I wasn’t mind-blown: TLJ tells a story of a teenage April Ryan, destined to save the balance between two worlds – Stark, a world of science and logic (which apparently is “our” world) and Arcadia, a land of magic and unlimited possibilities chaos. Why? Because if they are not balanced, bad things will happen. That’s basically all there is, and cool cyberpunk motives appearing during Stark levels do not improve it much. Neither do loads of cheesy lines and unfinished subplots. By no means is the story bad, it’s just pretty generic. The writers apparently tried to develop it a bit but it’s just another epic world-saving scenario.

    Except for some ridiculous puzzles, quest solving can be absorbing and that is what keeps the player with the game. A player like me, of course – I bet point-and-click fans can find all they need in TLJ. Once again, I’m grateful there was another person playing with me: otherwise I’d quit it pretty quickly.

    What was driving me crazy was the inconsistency of game mechanics. Sometimes to drink a potion you have to use it on yourself but sometimes you just click the button from the drop-down menu; sometimes to ask your companion for a favor you have to talk to him but sometimes you use him (!) on an item that needs to be interacted with etc. I was getting stuck frequently not because I didn’t know what to do but because the game couldn’t decide how it wants to run its UI. Also, as in all games of this genre you are offered a ton of dialogue options, yet your choices don’t really matter – if you don’t hit the right one at first, you just keep talking till nothing remains. And as much as I like listening to stuff in games, the awareness of total linearity was a bit disappointing.

    I guess this wasn’t a game for me – but I understand how it was a milestone in genre development. That aged a bit too much, unfortunately.    … Expand

    I never really liked this game as much as everyone else did. Yes it does have an interesting - though not terribly original - story and at least some of the characters are also interesting.

Also, the backgrounds are quite nice to look at and the ending is especially good (and completely unexpected).

    But this is were the good stuff ends. The puzzles in this game are downright terrible. Arguably the worst in any adventure game and I am not only referring to the now infamous inflatable ducky puzzle. Puzzles require leaps of logic and can mostly really only be solved through trial and error. Also, so often you really have no idea what you should be doing or that there is a puzzle there in the first place. It gets slightly better as the game progresses, but not much really.

    Then there is the length. The Longest Journey is indeed Long! Too long!! Mostly because the story is extremely stretched-out. Moreover, everything in this game is slow: the character animations are slow, the walking is slow and much of the speaking is slow as well. This, combined with the puzzles, makes the game just a chore to play.

    Finally there is the character models. Boy do they look HIDEOUS! Both in-game as well as in the cut-scenes characters look like drugged-out alien zombies. April herself is actually the worst offender. She even looks bad on the box art. Cannot imagine how somebody thought this was acceptable, even back in 1999.

    So there you have it. While this review may sound overly negative I would still recommend this game, but only for it's story - and for the sequel(s) that follow it.    … Expand

    There are 2 sequels (kind of sequels, but more really separate games). They are not nearly as good, and don't really have any proper puzzle solving elements.

    Finished it in 2020, used a mod that makes graphics more modern. It's a good game ... but not as good as people refer to it. It got boring a lot. I could predict a a lot of the end game adventures and that is really really BAD for an adventure game if you know by intuition what will happen next.

    Cons.:
    - As usual with the adventure games closer to the end it's becoming too simple;
    - Graphics are out of date and not updated in Steam. There are fan packs with texture updates and so on. But still nothing changed. Pity;
    - There is a crash coming to the police station. Still not fixed;
    - The font crash after quitting the game and font disappearance after alt+tab.

    Minor cons. Game is 10/10.    … Expand

Просто близко это, поэтому и интереснее).
    Много интересных персонажей и существ встречается. И с юмором отлично, диалоги интересные.

    First of all the atmosphere, the settings in a fantasy and sci-fi world and the story are top. Even today I could get into the world very easily and I was curious to find out more. I guess this is why many people like this game so much, but they ignore some big weaknesses of the game:

    It is hard to implement an interesting and complex gameplay in a point and click adventure and this game has the same problems. Some puzzles were even frustrating and a walkthrough is necessary. I am surely not the only one. And yes, sometimes this game feels like an interactive book, not a game.
    In addition you need to go back to known places so often, what is a big and annoying timesink. Another annoying timesink is the amount of text you need to read. It is so ridiculous, way too much, they could write the dialogues more tight and we could save a lot of time. In addition the dialogues were so naive, boring and stupid. This was the biggest motivation killer and the main reason, why I stopped to play it before the end.

    I need to mention also, that I couldnt fix the resolution, so it was only 640x480. In addition I couldnt implement any widescreen fix. In all other old and famous games I could change and raise the resolution. There are even more technical problems, look at the TLJ pcgamingwiki site. There are much better old adventure games outside (Zack McCracken, Manias Mansion, Monkey Island and so on), play them instead.    … Expand

The Longest Journey is imaginative in its way of creating a diverse and unique universe filled with lore and characters that remain memorable. April Ryan is fantastic as the game's leading protagonist. She is well written and stands out as a main character. The world is truly great from the moment the player enters the futuristic world of Earth, being set about 300 years into the future. Sci-fi alone is done so well in this game and so is the fantasy aspect inspired by classic medieval lore with a fantastical touch.

    While filled with great lore and characters, the adventure filled game play can seem slow at times due to April's walk speed and this requires a bit of patience. This may be a problem as it can make the game experience seem a tedious one. Nonetheless, despite this The Longest Journey features amazing voice acting and dialogue coupled with a very well written script. This game is a true classic and really is one of the greatest adventure games ever made; nothing since has really compared to the degree of detail evident in the game's story structure and lore. Scale-wise, it is a series filled with imaginative lore containing creatures and characters from different worlds and backgrounds. This all combines to make an outstanding story adventure. The Longest Journey is the first of the Dreamfall series and anyone interested in fantasy, or sci-fi with an emphasis on narrative should definitely experience this game.    … Expand

    For the first and last couple of chapters of this game I was engrossed. Much of the dialogue feels natural, the relations between the characters real, the world and lore fleshed out- as a story or film, I think I would have loved this game. I could talk for ages about the story potential and world building, more than what the character limit allows for sure.

Much of the dialogue feels natural, the relations between the characters real, the world and lore fleshed out- as a story or film, I think I would have loved this game. I could talk for ages about the story potential and world building, more than what the character limit allows for sure.

    As a game however, it runs into a few of the issues common to click and point adventure games- frustratingly slow puzzles that require running back and forth over the map, or going through all your items to find out what will work, or having to run the character through the hints to a puzzle you've already figured out but can't complete until she does, or just repeatedly spamming conversations with people until they give in and do as you asked. There were definitely a few times where a puzzle seemed forced in just for the sake of it and didn't add anything to the game but frustration. Some puzzles felt more intuitive and made sense in the context however, and I did enjoy the game despite the occasional frustration of trial and error puzzles. The game was also kind in that it tells you when an item can be used, by having it light up when hovered over something else, rather than have you madly bash all the items against each other and the environment until something sticks.

    I also, personally, did not like the main character much, or the reoccurring sidekick later on. April to me felt like someone who wasn't considerate of others, had a habit of inane comments, and wasn't as fleshed out as some of the side characters. I realise part of this was because of design (the character needed to have something basic to say on random things clicked, or ask sometimes obvious or irritating questions to make sure that the player had all the info needed) and the fact the main character is an 18 year old art student who's personality is 'snarky'. This is definitely more down to personal taste, although it did spoil the game for me sometimes when I felt so at odds against the main character, although this may be due to me being used to modern 'choice' games where the main characters are the player, instead of individuals the player is following but needn't fully identify with.

    Still, this game has concepts and content ahead of it's time, and really blends the fantasy and sci-fi aspects together well, and as mentioned before, as a book or film (more likely a book) this would have done well. Making it into a game, however, didn't add anything to it. There was no part of the story that needed to have a game mechanic to really enjoy, and the puzzles often slowed the story down instead of enhance it. Also, while I'm normally a person who fully engages in 'lore' games and love world building, I found The Longest Journey's method of mandatory story telling rather tiring. You HAD to sit and listen to a tale carefully, or go study texts, in order to have any idea of what you were doing (even though the main character would still often act as if they hadn't heard the same information as you), or just spam esc, skip the conversation but sit through the unskippable animations, and read it in your journal later like a script. The voice acting was amazing and most of the dialogue well written, but at points (especially in acardia) you were lore dumped and it wasn't so much that you were seeking out this info for your own enjoyment, but that it was just that you had to exhaust every dialogue option possible for some puzzles to be solvable whether you knew the solution or not. I much prefer to seek and read info at my own pace and choosing instead of sitting and listening to a character explain the political climate and history of a different world because it's probably needed to progress the story. Probably- but it's easier to ask all the questions now, rather than learn you need to walk back through x number of areas to ask it because it turns out you did need to ask it.

    I would recommend this game, certainly as a classic and just as a genuinely good game. It's dated, yes, but if you're going to play an older game graphics and mechanics are a thing you just accept won't be as good as some of the modern games. The story is amazing and the game world fascinating. However, I would recommend it with a little hand waggle, as it suffers as most click and point adventures do where most of the game can be tediously drawn out by unneeded puzzles and fetch quests.    … Expand

    TLJ is a masterpiece and one of the best Adventures to be released during the past few years. Unfortunately it should be avoided by people who are violently repelled, for themselves or their offspring, by some extremely crude language.

    The powerful story affects you as it unfolds and by the end you will be drained--your life will never be the same again. This game could do to adventure games, what Doom did for the FPS. A must buy for anyone and everyone.

    This game does more than just recreate the nostalgic experience of old school adventure gaming, it actually reinvents how stories can be told in the medium, and gives us a glimpse of what we can expect in the years to come.
