Having searched Eastern and Western Europe for a missing heir, Kate Walker finally completed her long and arduous journey, obtaining the signature of Hans Voralberg and closing the automaton factory buyout. Mission accomplished? Perhaps, but not for her...
An unlikely pair, young Kate Walker and old, eccentric Hans Voralberg now set off on a journey together, in search of the last of the fabled Syberian mammoths at the heart of a long-forgotten universe. The surreal quest Hans began alone several years ago will come to a final close as he and Kate face obstacles far more dangerous than ever before, testing their courage and determination. Far and beyond, a mystical Syberia awaits their arrival.
Two re-installs. Dual windows open with walkthrough. Never made it off the platform. Realized I was losing interest in the game, and chalked it up to my own impatience. Thing is, this level of frustration didn't happen with Syberia 1, and I'm left wondering if the issue was my AMD system, using DXWnd, or some patch/update that I missed. It's pretty, and fairly engaging for the first 15 minutes.
But... no.
I bought this and Syberia 3 on sale. Not sure I'm going to play 3, now. "Logic, meet window." Indeed.
The game as it is is unusable on win 10. Game is going too fast and dialogs are cut.
I had to put a specific file in directory to force 60fps and make the game playable again.
Otherwise, this game is beautiful, as any Syberia in the serie !
As someone accustomed to Telltale, Lucasarts & Revolution, among others, brand of adventure I find it difficult to place this game in the same category. As you might notice from the naming Syberia draws inspiration from the cryptic bestseller Myst and tries to become more accessible and appealing to the more discerning modern audience. Puzzles are easier to grasp and solve, sometimes to a fault, and the artwork is still impressive even a decade after its original release. Unfortunately it not only suffers from the same problems as its predecessor but adds some of its own.
Thinking the series would pick up steam I was disappointed to find out nothing has changed and the sequel is slow paced and lacks interactivity. Animations take a long time to complete and can't be skipped, backtracking is unrepentantly used to make the game longer, and every minor problem must be solved by the protagonist. Three kinds of puzzles inhabit the world: extremely easy, hard if you miss a single item which will almost surely happen because of the unrefined UI (hotspot hunting) or for the absolute lack of guidance of what to do next, and try all the buttons. Locations fall flat despite the impressive artwork, voice acting appears to have taken a step back, the worried mother and pressured boss part is impossible to buy since they never even answer the phone anyway, and the game advances in a very linear fashion, as if the creator wanted every player to have the exact same experience.
New additions to the series are no possibility to replay conversations since once pressed the options disappear, and absolute lack of character development, something I feel its predecessor did right. Syberia 2 isn't the worst adventure game you'll ever play and I recognize it does many things right, unfortunately like a state of the art cinema with a broken projector it doesn't add up to a nice experience.
