Europolis is covered in digital commercials for dream machines and political ads, really driving home what's on the minds of its inhabitants (although for those hooked on the dream machines, unfortunately it isn't much). There's a painstaking level of detail to keep you occupied as you wonder the streets looking for your next waypoint. The towns that you spend most of your time in are very large for an adventure game, making it easy to get lost and have to constantly check your map. It's not truly next-gen but it still looks pretty great.

I wonder what this robot does for a living.ĭreamfall Chapters' presentation can be compared to a solid PS3 title. It really makes your choices matter and permeates them deep into the story.
This is simply the best implementation of a choice-driven narrative that I've ever seen. When you're forced to explain your actions to another character, you can't help but feel guilty when trying to clarify a difficult choice you had to make that altered their timeline for the worse. This mechanism means that you could play this extremely lengthy adventure game once and not even have experienced half of what it has to offer. When you're making a decision, an icon will display that makes it abundantly clear that what you decide to do at this point may cause a shift in the course of time and dramatically alter the rest of your gaming experience. There are countless times when you'll be forced to make a decision no matter how hard it may be and then see the consequences unfold on multiple occasions later into the plot. I wouldn't trust a dude with an LED marquee for a tieĭreamfall takes the idea of a player changing the course of a game to a whole new level. The atmosphere of both worlds can be compared to that of the World War II era, a time in real life history with no lack of interesting stories to dive in to. Comparatively, Marcuria in Arcadia struggles with the constant fight between the old-school Azadis and the more progressive magical people, again with guards constantly checking citizens' credentials and the magical resistance persistently threatening to take the city back. For example, the world of Europolis is locked down with soldiers in the streets and there's a constant tension between those who agree with the Marxist way of life and those who want the opposite. There are many similarities in the worlds that Zoe and Kian are native to which adds another layer to the interesting storytelling. He soon finds himself on the other side of a war, working for the resistance (a group focused on helping those with magical abilities stand up against the magic-hating Azadis). Meanwhile, Kian is trapped in a prison tower where a riot has broken out by someone wanting a favour from him for their help in letting him escape. I'm sure that crayon could easily open the vent!Īt the beginning of the adventure, Zoe's goals are two-fold: regain her memories that she lost after being put into a coma at the end of the previous game and continue her political activist duties as she fights to keep stability in both her own life and other Europolians. Interludes between the books will introduce you to a third character that ages as time goes on, making it one of the few games out there where you get to play as a baby. You not only follow Zoe's journey set in the futuristic city of Europolis but also Kian's, an Azadi warrior travelling around the medieval-inspired Arcadia. What's great about Chapters is that the story starts out intriguing and never once drops that momentum while unraveling parts of each character's story piece by piece and going deeper and deeper into the plot, tackling more intense subject matter as it continues. Every book took me around ten hours to complete making this the lengthiest adventure game that I have ever played. v1d30chumz 78-26-147-81ĭreamfall Chapters is broken up into five books, each with multiple chapters. After recently finishing Syberia 3, Dreamfall Chapters shines in comparison and makes it clear which of the two is the best recent adventure game.
