Syberia

The puzzles are just complex enough to make the game fun. There's plenty of mystery, humor, and interesting dialogue to go around. While the story isn't especially deep, there's enough meat on its bones that, paired with Kate's character development, it's plenty satisfying. I think I might pick up the second game now.

The storyline was strong, the artwork beautiful, and the puzzles were creative and relevant to the game. I also really loved the automaton, Oscar. He reminded me of Douglas Adam's robot, Marvin the paranoid android 'the brain the size of a planet'.

latest update broke the game and it can't be installed on my win 11 machine anymore.

I like p&c-adventures with good, interesting stories. When I have the time. For different reasons I have not played Syberia earlier, but I have heard a lot about it, so I finally decided to try it out. Conclusion: it exceeded all my expectations, and the game is certainly worth its praise. A well written story with interesting characters, beautiful graphics, good puzzles and several places to explore. I am glad I have played it, at last.

Syberia 1 & 2 are one of my favorite pc games of all time. The story is very good, as is the graphics. Being a mechanical engineer, loved all the automatons. Loved the clockwork train that zips along as well as any other train. Very few really good adventure games anymore. Which is unfortunate. I can't get into run amok, shoot em up games (pacifist). I've played all the Myst games, The Longest Journey series and all the other top rated adventure games and would put Syberia 1 & 2 in the top 5. Original Longest Journey has a better story. Exile was just great, as was Uru. Was a real treat to get this game again, especially for free. Original one was long gone to who knows where. For any true adventure gamer, this game has to be in their library!
