The Longest Journey is an all-time classic. A great story, fantastic characters and voice acting, and dreamlike scenery bursting with creativity. April, the main character, embarks on an epic journey of self-discovery, growth, and hope—and it’s beautifully told. Though it hasn’t aged gracefully, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the early evolution of cinematic 3D graphics. I recommend playing it with an emulator like ResidualVM or ScummVM to avoid any technical issues.

So far enjoying the game. If you get stuck and are like me who after about 10 mins of being bothered by not knowing what to do there is a spoiler free guide on the workshop. There are also HD Mods and you can set the font to anything you like (Atkinson Hyperlegible BOLD is good). Workshop guides will explain how to do all that and it makes it look good and run well on modern systems.

This is one of the best point and click adventure games I have ever player, One 100% a recommend. The story is great and its a blast to play. Not too much "adventure game logic" as well which is always a huge plus on my end. Interesting world pretty visuals (for the time) and good puzzles, What's more to ask? Howeverdo not play this version. Said very simply it sucks. There are graphical issues and crashes when writing saves that could lose you progress. The other version of this game legally available on GOG solves almost all these problems AND has 10X more settings you can use to try and fix when stuff comes up. If you are already playing this version I say switch. It gets worse and you WILL be thankful you replayed for a better experience. Also no save files are not convertable as far as I know.

One of the greatest adventures which I will be returning to forever... Leaving my review only to help those who experienced the same issue as myself, trying to play it on a newly bought laptop / Win11 etc. What saved me, and what I highly recommend to resolve issues with graphics, is in the Discussions area, called The Longest Journey HD Mod. Done everything as per instructions given, but it failed to launch properly again. I set Game 3D Renderer to OpenGL, ticked Filter Graphics and set Antialiasing to x16. Truly enjoying HD graphics now!
