Dec. 2024
The continuation of Kate Walker's story, the heroine of the previous Syberia games. This time, she'll be imprisoned in a salt mine for a while, probably because she was caught after her journey in the previous game. Kate will try to escape with her fellow prisoner after receiving a letter about her mother. During their escape, they found an old train cargo that contained old items from WW2, and among them, Kate found a painting of a woman who looked exactly like her. Having a new purpose for a new journey, she decided to look for the girl in the photo, which is our second main character of the game, Dana Roze; we will follow her journey from the year 1937 through the beautiful cities of Eastern Europe, learning about her life and the war which was around the corner. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3397093893 Although the story was slow at times, the writing was beautiful. You could feel the characters' emotions, and you had the chance to choose how they responded, but none of the choices changed the course of the story. The game's theme music is also beautiful. The whole soundtrack takes you to a different place, and with the amazing voice acting, the game feels complete. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3397113787 Words cannot describe how beautiful the graphics and animation are. They are a huge step forward from the previous games. The environment and cyberpunk theme are so beautiful. I've taken over a thousand screenshots and still haven't covered all the scenes. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3397133910 Pros: +Emotional beautiful story. +Outstanding soundtracks. +Beautiful upgraded graphics and animations compared to the previous games. +Multiple puzzles. (Some are complicated) +Auto save. +Steam achievements. Cons: - No manual save. - Lots of backtracking. - Bad controls. (Both with controller and mouse) I didn't expect this ending, but it was beautiful and left me wanting more. This game was dedicated to the memory of its creator Benoรฎt Sokal, who passed away during its development. The news saddened me, and I'm unsure if a new Syberia game will ever be created. I highly recommend it to people who enjoy story-heavy games.

Dropped the game halfway through at first, but glad I came back. Movement is annoying, slow and clunky. No skipping dialogues. Many tasks are more like simple clicking or walking, which I feel is not as good as in the first two games. The visuals are stunning. I don't like Kate's decisions very much, but the story pulled me in hard, true to Benoit Sokal's style. Sadly that Amerzone remake might be the last game built on his legacy that I can play Almost forgotโ€”I really like Oscar! He brings something special to the game

Just the best game available for story line, you connect emotionally. fantastic graphics. Beniot Sokal was an incredible story writer its so sad hes gone, the gaming world will miss him, there is no one that can take his place, or another game in this genre that is better.

It's slow-paced but earns the right to be with stunning visuals. The puzzles are pretty easy, but again, stunning visuals and satisfying mechanics make up for it. Do not play without having played the earlier games. The payoff means so much more with the backstory.

I was hesitant to give this a try after playing Syberia 3, but I am so glad I did. The game is better in every way. Visually, it's beautiful. The story is engaging. The gameplay is much less frustrating and more functional than in Syberia 3. If you enjoyed Syberia 1 and 2, you'll like this game.
