What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
January 2013 is where it bottomed out, at $4.99. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 86 in the 14 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $5.99 at 70 percent off still sits 20 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
At full price it scores 58. The current cut is what makes it a 68.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 4 percent on value. It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 84 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Longest Journey ($2.99, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats FINAL FANTASY® XIII ($6.39, scores 47).
75 from critics against 84 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
2 of the 378 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 102 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Механіки бою такий кринж, угарав всю гру :D А загалом сюжет знов таки на висоті, навіть можливо трошки краще чим в першій частині. Єдинне що я не зрозумів - любовна лінія. Ну літераллі чувак відправляє нашу героїню на самогубну місію. Вона повертається й така "ти мені подобаєшся, го сосатся", Вотофак ахахах Дякую, шо гра перестала бути душним квестом, як перша частина, через шо проходиться швидко. Але на початку гри...
NUTS this game was ahead of its time, I got the cd as a present when I was around 13? I was brainless to proceed. Never played it , decided I should now. I'm flabbergasted, Very good plot I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS. I will need to dig in those extras soon and figure it out. WHAT A PLOT BRUH, It would be a great movie too, Someone fund it ;D (People complain the gameplay was too easy, yes okay, enjoyed the story more...
Dreamfall was amazing. Better than the original The Longest Journey (TLJ). To be fair, TLJ is old and just didn't have enough technology to achieve what it wanted, it was extremely ambitious in for its age. Thus Dreamfall has the graphics to show more cinematographic scenes which TLJ clearly wanted to (and tried). The gameplay, though, is way worse than in TLJ, because it is too easy, there's no difficulty in any...

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey scores 67/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/6300/dreamfall-the-longest-journeyThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 3, price as of Sep 24.
