Dreamfall Chapters is the third release in a series that began in 1999 with the critically acclaimed PC-based point-and-click adventure The Longest Journey developed by Norway's Funcom.

Positives + Fans of the series will appreciate the update; + Unique multiverse gameplay

Negatives - Controls are stiff and wonky; - Script needs better localization

An impenetrable start for non-fans, but there's enough potential here to hope that subsequent episodes make this a dream everyone can share in.

The game and dialogue explores some very adult subjects, and the dialogue choices are always explained in detail; Impressive visuals and great attention to detail

Not nearly enough explanation to understand, or more importantly care, what is going on or who everyone is; Beyond the moral choices the illogical puzzles are the only real interaction

There's a depth and breadth of imagination here – in terms of story, at least – that's rarely seen. It's a multi-dimensional tale that takes place across a dystopian sci-fi future, a world of sword-wielding soldiers and magical creatures, and the land of dreams that connects the two.

Dreamfall Chapters is the third instalment in the Longest Journey franchise. A series with a deep lore that began life as a point and click adventure back in 1999 with The Longest Journey.

Great story; Interesting characters; Choices add replayability

Poor opening sections; Some weak voice acting; No waypointing; Animations can be a bit bland

Worth a look for fans of adventure games, with the caveat that the first few hours are a tad slow but, if you persevere, there's a more than rewarding payoff waiting for you at the end.

The graphics and the story telling of this game are top notch.

It's a shame that Dreamfall Chapters is probably the only game in the series that will be on consoles, since the characters were already established before in the past games along a 20 year period! But playing the old games is not a pre-requisite to understanding Chapters.

Impressive effort with a few noticeable problems holding it back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.

Matt brings us his impressions on Persona 5.

Persona 5 is not nearly as subversive nor as smart as it wishes it was, but it's stylish as hell and a gripping ride. Worth the wait, and worth your time.

Gorgeous style; kickin' soundtrack; sharp dungeon design; great battle system; the return of demon negotiation; cute kitty

Harsh penalties for death; gargantuan length slows down an otherwise compelling narrative; delicate subjects not handled with care; regressive social ideas clash with message of rebellion
