I know this game has it's fanbase, but as someone who has no nostalgia for this series this is an abysmal disappointment. I really enjoyed The Longest Journey and was surprised by how well it holds up. Dreamfall however steps away from being a point-&-click and instead becomes some sort of "action" adventure instead. Yes, this game has combat and stealth sections. Yes, unfortunately, they do suck. No, they are not the majority of the gameplay. That last part seems like a positive, but sadly the biggest thing you will be doing in this game is walking back and forth and back and forth and back ... In the beginning, there is a section where you are tasked with getting something out of an appartment. I kid you not when I say to achieve this you will need to backtrack three times, as you need to ask your hacker friend for help for every step of the way. All of this would be excusable, if the story and characters where on par with the first game. They are not aweful, but they are just no...
