Logic, meet window. Now fly.
I struggled to finish Syberia 1. I practically forced myself to play Syberia 2. At first, I was happy to continue the tale of Kate, Hans and Oscar on their journey towards Syberia. Then about 10 minutes into the actual game, I almost walked away. Hiding crucial puzzle items where you are unlikely to notice them isn't fun. Thankfully, GOG included a walkthrough for those several occasions. Then there are a plethora of WTF moments which I won't spoil for those of you curious to play this. I am willing to accept a mysterious island with mammoths, but some events were just too much. They effectively shattered my immersion in the Syberia world. And a certain event that was supposed to be emotionally engaging was truncated and then defiled moments later. On top of that, the subplot in New York seemed to ignore what happened in Syberia 1. There are shining moments in Syberia 2, particularly the ending. However, the rest of the game is asinine.
