The second playthrough only requires you to reach the end of Book 4, allowing us to skip Book 5 altogether. 16 Achievements are missable, 24 are story related and obtainable in playthrough 1, the remaining 5 achievements are also story related but require a second playthrough. A disappointing 5/10.This guide will help you earn all 45 achievements in this game. This was basically a wasted opportunity to capitalize on the adventure game trend, and it feels like it in every way. However in retrospect a remake of the classic would have been far more pleasing, and its an experience that console users also missed. For all of that it is more Dreamfall, and perhaps the closure console fans needed. It's like they expected this games legacy to account for the obvious dip in writing and gameplay, but it simply does not. Relatable protagonists and problem solving? Absolutely not. Huge set-pieces and impactful decisions - nope. Engaging and interactive player sequences - nope. Here's the problem with that, Telltale has raised the bar significantly for this style of gameplay and Dreamfall Chapters misses ALL the queues. It leaves a lot to be desired, and it seems the games mechanics have actually regressed over time, simplifying themselves in nature and pandering to the lazy gamer who's there for a story. So we get tons of background on characters in this sense, but not much else. Context is seemingly added for every unnecessary object you stumble across, and while done the right way this can show a deepness of universe, all the writers ever did was find way to shoehorn in ways the item pertained to the character examining it. That's a minor issue however, compared to the larger problem with Dreamfall Chapters. Fans have come a long way with this series, and supported it with hard earned cash - we deserve a summary of our exploits at the very least. Even knowing all the ins and outs, to see it summarized is tantamount to the experience as a whole. I guess you could argue that at this point only hardcore fans are following the series, and this isn't REALLY a good point of entry, but what a huge ball dropped. However to say it was brief is an understatement, and it left out some critical information from the ORIGINAL game that has a huge impact on the universe at large as well as character motivations. Upon start-up of the game there IS an option for a quick recap, which is narrated by the games leading protagonists. This is something I was sure the re-release of Dreamfall Chapters would remedy, after all this is the FINAL chapter. Maybe its just me, but everything from the plot to the characterization and even the visuals seemed to have deteriorated tremendously for this final chapter, in such a way that it begs you to consider: were the pre-quells really any better? I wanted to re-experience the story, but apart from some mashed together clips on YouTube there isn't really a good synopsis of the story thus far (and it is a convoluted one), which kind of leaves newcomers at a disadvantage. As a fan of The Longest Journey and somebody who was fairly pleased with the Dreamfall saga as a whole I must say.this game has not aged As a fan of The Longest Journey and somebody who was fairly pleased with the Dreamfall saga as a whole I must say.this game has not aged well.
