Beyond that, it's up to you to either remember the events of a game from almost a decade ago, or just dive in and make sense of the fairly dense dual storylines along the way.ĭespite token efforts, this isn't a game with much interest in helping newcomers find their feet. We learn that the two are connected by dreams. There's a perfunctory text introduction which briefly introduces the concept of two parallel worlds - a cyberpunk future Earth known as Stark and a magical fantasy realm known as Arcadia.
It's the latter group that will suffer most in the early going of Reborn, as this first entry is called. Sometimes, the game's meta-narrative on game design is a little heavy-handed. As beginnings go, it's pretty good, but it isn't without its frustrations - both for dyed in the wool fans and those coming to the series fresh.

The debut episode will be reviewed without a score, as here, and we'll review the whole season with a score at its conclusion.Īt a time when big franchises now produce at least one annual entry, if not two or more, spare a thought for fans of Funcom's graphic adventure series. Editor's note: We're trying a new approach to reviews of episodic game series like Dreamfall Chapters, inspired by our approach to early access releases and some online games.
