What’s not to like? Other than not having a mini-map or map while exploring each location, this is a must-have on PS4
It features great writing and a solid story, really good graphics and a ton of content to enjoy. It’s an excellent adventure game and a very polished release. I loved playing the game for my Dreamfall Chapters review. I was honestly expecting a couple of hours per episode at most, so I was pleasantly surprised! You’ll be playing this one for a while before you can get your Platinum trophy since for a single run through all episodes you’re looking at spending at least 20 hours with Dreamfall Chapters! How’s that for value? So if you want to learn more about the world you’re playing in, as well as of its inhabitants, then some small talk here and there can go a long way!Įach episode is going to take you between 4 to 7 hours to complete depending on how experienced you are with adventure games, as well as on how much you interact with items, locations, and NPC. There is a lot of dialogue in the game, as was to be expected, and that’s just for the main game! There’s a ton of extra dialogue that is for optional interactions and areas. Mind you, it’s not a dealbreaker but something the team could consider for their next game.
I can’t understand why there is no minimap since the game is a massive release, not to mention that having a map would have opened the way for having markers for objectives and areas. The only small complaint I have is that there is no mini-map or map available – you have to find these ‘you are here’ map stands. The game greatly exceeded my expectations, so kudos to the team at Red Thread Games and to Deep Silver for doing a great job on this PlayStation 4 release. At times it made me feel as if this was an open world release since there’s plenty to do and lots of areas to explore.
DREAMFALL CHAPTERS RETAIL MANUAL
I didn’t like the fact there was no manual saving, since I’m extremely pesimistic with my gaming time on PS4! If the console crashes or the game freezes (something I didn’t run into during my time with Dreamfall Chapters), then I’d end up having to redo large sections of the game, unless I had manged to reach a checkpoint.ĭreamfall Chapters is presented in 3D, and the game’s look is stellar. Zoe also has powers to manipulate time and can slow it down, not to mention the very handy ability of reading the minds of others! Can’t talk more about that since I’d be going heavily into spoiler territory, but rest assured that the story is great from starr to finish!ĭreamfall Chapters plays like a classic point and click adventure game since you can literally click on anything for information as you collect items to use for solving puzzles. Book One sets up the story for the rest of the series, with several unexpected plot twists that will keep you busy until the end. Here you will learn the mechanics of the game as you play chapter one which consists of Zoe in a coma and visiting Storytime… as well as interact with other characters. But he is saved by a former enemy, and they both managed to escape the prison.Ĭhapter one of Book one is kinda your tutorial section. He eventually ends up in Friar’s Keep prison awaiting his execution.
He is tasked with finding and killing the rebel leader known as Scorpion. Kian Alvane is an Azadi assassin who struggles with his faith. Zoe tries to help people who are addicted to Lucid Dreaming, stuck in their own nightmares, she helps them unlock the door back to a new life… Zoe survived but ended up spending a year in a coma and is dying….or is she? While in the dream world of Storytime. She wanted to silence Zoe, so she attempts to kill her. She uncovered a sinister conspiracy regarding the dream machines, and discovered her mother was involved. Zoe Castillo is one of the main characters and dreamer. No waiting for episodes to release as they’re completed! On top of this, the team at Red Thread Games got busy working on improving character models and revamping the lighting while also upgrading the audio side of things considerably.
DREAMFALL CHAPTERS RETAIL FULL
Unfortunately, none of the stretch goals net were console ports… but after four years of waiting and hoping for a port, we finally got one on PlayStation 4!ĭreamfall Chapters started life as an episodic game exclusive to PC, but we lucky PS4 players get the full and complete edition with all the books in a single retail disc or digital download. The campaign was hugely successful and the team managed to reach roughly $1.5 million dollars to finish the game. Red Thread Games took Dreamfall Chapters to Kickstarter way back in 2013 with a hefty base goal of $850,000 to complete the entire five episode release.
