Once the install is finished and the settings complete, the real task of the game begins. The Longest Journey reminds me of adventure games from yesteryear such as Monkey Island and Police Quest. They require a certain amount of patience to solve the problems at hand. And just like those games from long ago, players will have to play through a linear structure in order to progress through the storyline. Talk to everyone, grab everything, and look everywhere.
Information is the key to success.
Even picking up the simplest of things may actually be key towards moving onto next stage of the storyline. Having an open mind and preventing oneself from overlooking anything will certainly help in surviving this very lengthy journey of thirteen chapters. Action buffs look elsewhere. This is not your hack and slash blood fest that s associated with titles like Diablo 2 or Ice Wind Dale. She s stuck in nightmarish worlds that seem to border between Blade Runner and Fantasy Island.
