Syberia

I just started playing Syberia again, I played it when it first came out in 2002 (?). I loved it then and I still love it now. The concept, storyline, artwork and visuals (especially), voiceovers, music, atmosphere... I think they're all excellent and the whole ends up greater than the sum of the parts for me. When I play a game like this I like to get lost in its world, feel like I'm there and walking through it. I like to take my time and get immersed, enjoy it, without racing to complete it. Syberia is that for me. In the game there are a number of different "worlds" within that world you must navigate through. I enjoyed them all and they were all unique. I thought it was challenging and complex enough for evening escapes, with a great plot arc that kept me interested, curious, and engaged throughout the game. Like peeling back the layers of an onion. It isn't just a bunch of puzzles to be solved, that's only the half of it. I think it's a great and imaginative story. It's interesting to read some of the other reviews here and the shortcomings some people experienced. Everyone has different likes, so read through the reviews, see what resonates with what you're looking for.

Syberia is one of the greatest Adventure games I've personally held in my hands. From It's original plot to it's execution you are being given a descent amount of CONTEXTUAL puzzle. along this rather enjoyable journey you find yourself taken to some truly amazing places and meet some "special" personalities. This game personally touched my inner adventurer in me at every turn.

Can't say much about the game since it doesn't work. I'm very disappointed with GOG it this stage. Considering what this platform was about from the beginning it has gone downhill badly. I basically have trouble running ALL old games by now. Not a single one of them seem to be properly optimized/patched for new pcs. And yes i have tried your "solutions" and they do not work. It's just not good enough that you sell games that can't run on a new pc and that you don't even fix the problems. It shouldn't be up to me to find solutions. But almost everytime i have to google for hours OR download 3rd party software to get things to run (and i largely prefer not to do that tbh). Get better.

great story, very entertaning game

Playing this game is like embarking into a fantastic journey to extraordinary places. Syberia emplifies the point-and click genre. You'll be sad it's all over when you'll finish the game.
