Have you ever played a game and thought....wow. I don't mean WOW this game is amazing, but the kind of shocked reaction to a game which makes you feel like you have traveled back in time to the days where crap games made their way to Playstation to die, well this is how I felt playing Dreamfall Chapters. Dreamfall Chapters is an episodic point and click style adventure story game and is the follow up to Dreamfall: The Longest Journey from 2007.
The basic synopsis: Dreamfall Chapters is a 3D Adventure set in parallel worlds: one a dark cyberpunk vision of our future, the other a magical fantasy realm. The game follows two unlikely heroes on their journeys across worlds to save the very fabric of reality from falling apart.
I won't lie, I didn't even bother finishing the game it was that bad. In this day and age, with so many amazing indie titles out there I am SHOCKED at how a game like this could even be considered a decent game. The voice acting is awful, it is wooden as hell and the British accent of Zoe is grating. The other characters are equally as bad, with everyone involved sounding like they are just there for a payday. The graphics look like something you would find on an early day Xbox 360 or PS3, meaning the visuals haven't improved since the games original outing. The actual gameplay is clunky, it is a pain in the arse to select each item you are trying to interact with, the puzzles are boring and the controls should be explained more.
Now I love a good adventure puzzle game, the Broken Sword is one of my all time favourites, but this here is one of the worst games of I have ever witnessed. The only real saving grace is the soundtrack, and even then it isn't enough to save this train wreck of a game. Don't bother with this unless it is free on PS plus.
