Also, I think PC Gamer gave the game 90%

which is a very high score for any genre in their publication.

I think the Longest Journey is a great game, but only if you have lots of time on your hands. As some posters have already mentioned, the dialogues can be quite long. I first played TLJ in high school when I could spend entire evenings and weekends on the game, so the long dialogues weren't a problem for me, and they really added a lot to the game's mythology and story.

Now I don't have the same amount of time to spend on games in one sitting. The last time I tried playing the Longest Journey I lost interest because I could only get through a few conversations before running out of time and needing to shut down for the night.
