Excellent adventure, one of the best

In this wonderful adventure, the protagonist, Kate Walker, is following the traces of Dana Roze. It is very much the same kind of story line as the first part of the Syberia series, where she follows the traces of Hans Voralberg. Like the first game where she does not know if Hans still lives, she does not know if Dana is still alive. The ending is also very similar, almost identical. But the story in this adventure goes deeper and carries more emotions. The rendered 3D models of The World Before are incredibly beautiful. I also liked the slow pacing of the game, which is compatible with the emations it evokes. For instance, the optional "introspections": I went gratefully through all of them. The puzzles may be a bit scarce, but some of them are very well done. For instance, repairing the automatons on the museum square, culminating in Kate playing the Vaghen symphony is a really amazing puzzle in my opinion. So for me a full 5 stars without any doubt.

Interactive story with not so good story

I don't quite understand the praise. The visuals are beautiful, sounds and music good enough or better and... that's more or less it. The game is a slightly interactive story - most "puzzles" aren't even puzzles. I could live with it, but the story itself is creepy and/or silly at times. There's a limit of characters in the review, so I'll try to make it short. I doubt it is the original or unmodified story from Benoit Sokal. I suspect he was more of a "marketing label" for the game, while the story must have been written or at least "improved" (twisted) by some kind of showrunners. The World Before is better than Syberia 3 in my book, but not nearly as good as Syberia 1/2 (except for the visuals). SPOILER ALERT! 1. The reason behind Kate following the story. Train, tube, picture with that particular girl on it. Absolutely unbelievable. For a contrast, Syberia 1 had a good, sober reason for Kate's wild pursuit after Hans. 2. Z. kidnapped A. and faked A's death, even set up a fake grave. Foul and cruel! Prior to that Z. had been depicted as friends of the family. 3. D. finds A. and stays cold as an ice cube, she goes away like "Oh, well, it's not my file anyways" and decides to go to a silly place from the past, ruining her well put together life in the USA. 4. Railway platform. K. first apologises, admits she now understands how she hurt her friends in the States, only to blow her nose at it a minute later and jump on the other train. How am I supposed to like her now? Who in their right mind would put that apology scene there? Kate is irresponsible and selfish to the bone. Now I know. 5. There are more, but - the character limit. Nazis are "Brown Shadow", Jews are V-people (forgot the word). Are you trying to protect somebody's feelings? Whose exactly? Ex-soviet work camp feels like a summer camp for scouts. Dyed hair, hair-dos, very good personal clothes, you can get to work later because... you got a letter, etc. Work camps not that bad, eh? Come on!

Atmosphärisch geladen

Das Spiel ist sehr schön und aufwändig gemacht. Die Geschichte ist interessant, stimmungsvoll und atmosphärisch geladen, was durch die Hintergrundmusik noch verstärkt wird. Die Rätsel sind bisher nicht allzu schwer. Allerdings ist das Hantieren mit der Maus manchmal sehr umständlich z.B. wenn man Möbel verschieben oder Schlüssel drehen muss. Und die aufwändige Implementierung erfodert leider auch eine leistungsfähige Hardware. Dennoch ist das Spiel allen Adventurefreunden zu empfehlen.

Beautiful! Simply beautiful.

I have played many amazing games over the years, but no other game fits this particular description more than Syberia TWB. Benoît Sokal and Microids have really outdone themselves this time. The game runs buttery-smooth. The graphics and the art style are amazing. Ostherthal is a lovely location, whether we're exploring the beautiful city of Vaghen or its country side. I could not stop spamming my screenshot button. Inon Zur's music is unforgettable and I'm definitely adding some tracks to my playlist. The voice acting is phenomenal, which is very welcome after the somewhat-disappointing third instalment. The game takes place roughly a year after the events of the third game and is accessible to new player. The story is good and bittersweet, although somewhat predictable. It also has nothing to do with the island of Syberia anymore, so perhaps changing the name should be considered in future games. Afterall, Amerzone: The Explorer's Legacy takes place in the same universe, so it wouldn't be the first time. On PC, Kate Walker can only be controlled with the mouse. Manual movement via WASD, introduced in Syberia 3, is gone, but thankfully pathfinding and camera work is much better this time. Having said that, there have still been a handful of locations where it was hard to make Kate go into a particular hallway, due to an awkward camera placement, so I still would have preferred to have WASD movement as an option. The game has 3 profile slots, without manual saving or chapter select. I personally will always prefer having the ability to save manually, especially since the first two games had that, but it’s not a very big deal. TWB is a worthy addition to the Syberia series and I recommend it to all fans of the franchise, as well as any newcomers looking for a story-rich game with a fantastic art style. It’s really sad that B Sokal did not get to see this game finished, but it will forever live on as his swan song. RIP and thank you for this wonderful journey.
