And to think... I don't even like sequels!

I usually don't like sequels, for either movies or games, because they tend to take the strong points of the original and wear them out completely. Upon finishing the first DC, I was left wanting more, like so many others out there. As soon as Reflexive made DC2 available, I downloaded it and played it in its entirety, and I couldn't be more satisfied. PlayFirst lived-up to the expectations I held for this second part with new, as well as improved reused, puzzles. The storyline was further developed in DC2 and left us hanging for DC3! I'm very glad to know that they don't intend to abandon us just yet! If you haven't played the original Dream Chronicles, you may want to give it a shot first, since DC2 doesn't offer the "Hints" feature. If you liked the first you're sure to be blown away by the second!

Game synopsis: As with Dream Chronicles, travel through a variety of increasingly difficult puzzle levels to further unravel the storyline's mystery. Gem searches and collections continue to add a secondary goal, and replayability, to the game.

Gameplay critique: Each level provides a different puzzle, building in challenge, that employs a variety of problem-solving skills. The storyline/plot is strong, though it ends quite abruptly upon completion... leaving you wanting more. Though Dream Chronicles 2, like its predecessor, is relatively quick to finish, it is very replayable. Perfectionists and "Anything-you-can-do-I-can-do-betters" will enjoy the "Global" ranking feature!

Final thoughts: Seek-and-Find games are one thing. They don't even compare with Dream Chronicles 2! This is a terrific game for thinking people, though not for those looking to relax and unwind. :) I rate the "addiction" level as a 10, my max! Get yourself a comfy seat and a stress ball, it's going to be a long night! Again, I must say hats off to the Dream Chronicles team!!

All a Sequel Should Be!

Games, unlike movies, seem to get better with sequels and the Dream Chronicles series is no exception. The story continues with Faye pursuing her family and Lilith keeping them apart. But the story, nice as it is, is simply to tie the game sequences together (yet done very effectively and in a very engaging way) and this is where DC2 truly shines!

The only complaint I could ever have about this game is the same I had with its predecessor...its just too short. Like the original, I finished it in two days which hardly makes it feel worth its purchase price, but during those two days it was fantastic!
