Syberia: The World Before

Stunning game! ♥

However, it is far from Syberia 1 and 2. For me, the first one is the best from far. The story and feelings you have while playing are great. It is a fantasy story with analogs with reality. This game, however, althoug has a beautifull story, is closer to reality and loses, from my point, the essence of that first games. I said, the story is beautiful, but at the same time has some parts that are not well fitted with the globbal. For example, the part of the salt mine and the trip to Europe in an old motorbyke, with the rest of the game. In fact, I liked this very first momments of the game far more than the European part. In summary: Great 3d artist development. Awesome. There are many nods to the first games. For example the cementery... The history of the salt mine is closest to the 'Syberia' essence, from my point, than the rest of the plot. The final is abrut, and gives you a lack of feeling, that you would not have in previous games. It it like it would have been finished in a rush. I have not enjoyed, in terms of fellings, as I did with 1 and 2 Syberias. The story, many times, becomes dull.

Careful! I already have this game in my library, but it is not showing as owned on the store page, which is quite misleading. Is GOG really this incompetent? or do they expect us to double spend for the same game?

It would have been a 5/5, but the janky controls and the technical issues (Stuttering, etc), but the story more than makes up for it. It picks up where Syberia 3 left and continues Kate's journey from there.

As i mentioned above in the title the game reminds me more of the telltale games but with a much more beautiful back drop, setting and background. I haven't played the entire game yet but so far it's promising. The puzzles aren't very challenging and the story seems interesting. As it stands right now i think the game is worth it when its on a sale. This is a great looking game with very basic modern point and click gameplay.
