And so I sit here contemplating ways to close this review, feeling a little empty. After all, I’ve just finished a story that has taken seventeen years to be told. The emotional rollercoaster that has been The Longest Journey saga has been exhausting for me as a player, so I can only imagine how the team at Red Thread Games feel right now. As a stand-alone episode, it is certainly the better than Books Three and Four, but it doesn’t reach the heights of the spectacular first two episodes. As an ending, though, it manages to bring satisfying closure to a series I never wanted to end. Not yet, anyway. I think that’s my biggest problem – there was so much more story to tell with this universe.

Anyway, I think the most important point I can make as a fan of the series is this – I held it together throughout the entire game, but the final scene wore me down and eventually got me. If that’s not an indication of how good an ending it is, or how the story has affected me over the years, I don’t know what is.
