The game has pretty long and weirdly placed loading times and you get a lot of slowdown and frame rate issues while running around.
They often come with some emotional-heavy subjects like racism or depression, another reason why I love Dreamfall Chapters so much, the developer wasn’t afraid to use some modern age issues for the game.
(but still good) Same can be said about side-characters, the world is full with weird and “special” living beings. Alvane isn’t all too bad either, but his setting was a little less interesting. She is definitely on par with Chloe and Max from Life is Strange if it comes to character depth.
A believable, and more importantly, very interesting character that faces quite a few troubles that everyone can understand. While both characters have a pretty good background and time to shine it is Zoë Castillo that becomes the star of the game. It takes a while before the link between them becomes clear but that helps with the mysterious story. You control two playable characters, Zoë and Alvane.Backed by an impressive meaningful decision-system that truly changes the game, you won’t always immediately know how and why but you are always informed with a “The balance has changed” message. The main reason for that is the excellent storytelling, while it’s a little difficult to get the big picture when you didn’t play the two previous games it’s still an impressive and one-of-the-best stories you’ll find in a video game. Dreamfall Chapters is a game with light-gameplay moments, this will unfortunately scare away a few people but trust me when I say that the game is worth playing.With great pleasure did I start my journey with Zoë, what did I think about it? Was it a dream to play or a nightmare to experience? Let’s find out! Review Dreamfall Chapters | An emotional story driven game, it’s a rare thing to see, especially on Xbox.
