![]() I'll probably embellish the retelling with a few footnotes here and there on specific characters too - there are some that have risen to prominence in Book 4 (and presumably Book 5) that were either sidelined or briefly mentioned before now, and understanding where they came from is vital to understanding their present role. The former would be more of interest to someone who has already played the game and perhaps chosen differently, and the latter is generally what I'm most invested in as a fan of these adventure games. For the time being, I'm going to continue as I've done before, focusing on the decisions I made and the handful of puzzles and gameplay sequences that each Book contains. This game isn't going to make a lot of sense to those who aren't already familiar with the first two games anyway, which are still readily available (and highly recommended!) on Steam and GOG. I'm half-tempted to summarize the entire trilogy of games in order to fill the gaps, let alone just the first three Books of this episodic series, but I think that'd probably be too much pre-amble. My recapping "style" thus far has been one borne of expediency, as a daily blog series is no place for patient, deliberate rumination and the exploration of themes, characters and symbolism. For the sake of additional convenience, that would be Day 18, Day 19 and Day 20 of May's marathon blogging. Dreamfall Chapters is now "complete", though I've yet to discover if the same is true for Zoe Castillo's story and that of the twin worlds of Stark and Arcadia, and that means it's due time I finished off the series I began in the midst of this year's May Mastery feature last month. Well, my friends, shortly after E3 was over Book 5: Redux has indeed come out - it was released last Friday on the 17th of June. You might, or probably might not, recall that after completing the first three Books of Red Thread Games' episodic adventure game Dreamfall Chapters - a continuation of Ragnar Tornquist's true-to-its-name The Longest Journey series - that I opted to take a breather on playing and reviewing Book 4 until the release of Book 5, that I might seamlessly move from one to the next and not be left hanging in suspense too long. Major decisions that will affect achievements will also be highlighted.Hey all. Missable achievements will be highlighted clearly for the reader. I managed to speed through the second playthrough in around 5 hours by skipping everything possible and focusing only on mopping up missing achievements. Playthrough 1 should take roughly 15-20 hours. If you haven't played the previous two games, a lot of the game's plot may be confusing. I highly recommend you take time on playthrough 1 to listen to all dialogue and watch the cutscenes. The aim of this walkthrough is to help you achieve a full 1000 gamerscore in the quickest time possible spoilers will be kept to an absolute minimum and there will be little to no discussion of the plot. I strongly recommend you stay connected to Xbox Live as there have been a few reports of achievements earned offline not registering when the internet connection was re-established. The second playthrough only requires you to reach the end of Book 4, allowing us to skip Book 5 altogether. 16 Achievements are missable, 24 are story related and obtainable in playthrough 1, the remaining 5 achievements are also story related but require a second playthrough. This guide will help you earn all 45 achievements in this game.
