Originally released May 5 2017 for PS4/XB1/PC. Light Synopsis: Dreamfall Chapters is a story about choices and consequences, dreams and reality, magic and science, chaos and order, and the broken heroes whose actions will shape the course of history in all worlds. Set in parallel worlds - one a dark cyberpunk vision of our future, the other a magical fantasy realm.   Dreamfall Chapters is a mature, emotional, dark, magical and heartbreaking adventure that will take you by surprise. With a brand new storyline and a fresh cast of characters, Dreamfall Chapters introduces new players to the award-winning The Longest Journey saga, while returning players will get the conclusion they have been waiting for since the end of Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. Pros: Graphics, Choices, Puzzles, Story Cons: Third Installment of Series (having never played other two), possible environment problems when solving puzzles Verdict: Cash -- When on sale (bought it for $17), though still worth it at full price ($30)  if one likes story driven, make a choice  games similar to any Telltale series games.
