Disney Dreamlight Valley’sUnwritten Realms update is here to expandThe Storybook Vale’sstory, introducing a second chapter to this three-part adventure. While it’s had its ups and downs, I’ve overall had a blast with this expansion, especially with this particular chapter.
I was already a fan ofThe Storybook Valefrom the get-go. Although I had mixed feelings about farming Snippets for hours, and I do wish there was more variety in companion types, I was able to look past this once I finished the first chapter. Now that I’ve finished Unwritten Realms, I have a lot of opinions about it.There are some light spoilers in here, so watch out.
The overall flow of Unwritten Realms was solid. It follows a trend of introducing a problem, having us, the protagonist, fix it, and repeating that until the story concludes. We’re familiar with it by now, and yet I enjoyed some of the twists and turns we faced during this particular update. If you’ve already completed it, you’ll know what I’m talking about.
I also especially enjoyed the way they introducedMaleficentandAurorainto the story. If you played Chapter One, you’ll already know how Maleficent played into it, with Aurora being somewhat mysterious until her inevitable appearance in this chapter. It may take a while to get there, but oh boy, the payoff for everything we’ve been through is satisfying.
We also have new Snippet types. Now, I’m not exactly a massive fan of farming for these little guys, especially when these are rarer than their usual versions, but I can forgive it this time since the accompanying story was fun. I did gradually obtain some while running around the map anyway, so I’m not too upset.
Speaking of maps, the new maps introduced during the Unwritten Realms storyline were great. The bureaucratic features of the Unwritten Realm were hilarious, and the mini areas you visit throughout it were also interesting. Plus, well, the final hour or so of the second chapter was a joy to experience. I won’t divulge too much about it for the sake of spoilers, but let’s just say the mix of puzzles, decor, and character interactions was quite fun.
Overall, I liked the Unwritten Realms, even though the lead-up to it, with Chapter One’s various bugs, initially left me feeling apprehensive. Having those issues resolved and not experiencing many problems thereafter made it much easier to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show, all the while appreciating the mix of challenging puzzles, peculiar humour, and interesting additions to the expansion’s story that were both predictable and unexpected.
