And yes, it’s not perfect this is a game for its existing fanbase, pure and simple. This is one of those games where the story saves the day. There is a lot to look at, though while the environments do feel very boxed in and claustrophobic and because exploration really isn’t this game’s thing, Kian and Zoe do have a lot to say about talking bins and the like. You’re mostly stuck at a walk or a really slow run, holding down R2 to the point your fingers start to cramp. You wander around Stark or Arcadia, looking at things, and talking to people, so it’s at least a step up from point-and-click. It’s the same with the gameplay – there isn’t actually a whole lot of it. The voice acting is mediocre at best, though I am giving them credit for using actual British actors this time (Zoe’s VA, Charlotte Ritchie, was the voice I instantly recognised after binging Call the Midwife all the way through), though it is the tired trope of medieval fantasy in Britain. The character models are stiff and awkward, with grainy textures, multiple instances of hair clipping through hoods (Anna is a particular offender) and lip sync is non existent. But for some reason, I’m going out tomorrow to buy a hard copy on disc, and maybe try and get my ancient PC version of The Longest Journey (the aforementioned, ancient predecessor) to run on my machine.Įven from that trailer, you can see what I mean,  throwing the story at you thick and fast, akin to drowning a reader in molasses. Gonna be honest, presentation wise? This isn’t AAA fare, not even close. It’s an old, old series, with the first entry into the series releasing in 1999 as a humble point and click adventure game.

TL DR: I’ve never been so confused and so enthralled. ![]() Publisher: Red Thread Games, Deep Silver, Funcom
