It's just out of this world...
User Rating: 10 | The Longest Journey PC
12 years later it remains the most compelling ,well thought out and simply charming story I have ever heard. It's an adventure game and that is exactly what to expect, a journey of weight in the reality of an artistic child.It's strength does not lie in the replay value,the "fun" or gameplay,but in taking it easy. There is a lot to read,a lot to hear and a lot of wisdom to understand. It is a clash of art: writing,sound,animation and painting as well as voice acting. But the thing that compels the most is the "twisted reality" of the story. It is not that the game can be understood metaphorically it is that it is the way the game is meant to be understood. If nothing I have said compels you to play it,then you probably should not. If,however,you are a person who loves art,any form of art,you would want to try this game. It may make you wonder a bit,reflect on what you know and if it does not then you have probably found yourself within the game.
