Definitely Feels Like a Syberia Game!
Why is it that all the Syberia games feel like they're 80% the way to where they wanted to go? As others have mentioned the UI is just painful. At a few points, I actually said outloud, "I really wish this was an isometric adventure game." It is so hard to navigate. I also just finished Syberia A World Before, and it was better. Full 3D adventure games have a common challenge, and it's moving around. Even one of my favorites, Grim Fandango, had some challenges with navigation and camera angles. The puzzles are much simplier than with one and two. They are more consistent. In most cases everything you need is quickly found. There's no pixel hunting, and honestly, everything makes mechanical sense. You won't be looking for three pieces to put together to make a glue from some random pun from the periodic table. Plus, and this just drops the difficulty some, pieces of the environment are not unlocked until you need to solve them. There's still a decent amount of problem solving, but you won't have 15 items in your pocket that you've collected through the game. A major improvement in Syberia 4 is the directing of the actors. I've gotten so use to hearing Sharon Mann playing a near happy go lucky Kate. After listening to some of her other stuff online, I thought, "Maybe she's just the type of person that sounds happy." Syberia to me is NOT a happy adventure. It's weird, it's messed up, and there's a lot of struggle. In S4, she does not sounds happy go lucky. I enjoyed it so much more just because the protagonist didn't sound like they were flying high all the time. In a way I kind of wish they hadn't made S4. I kind of wish Kate's fate was left to be unknown. In a way I was hoping for a Seinfeld ending. This gal has been "train hopping" for the past couple of years, and she deserves to have someone anchor her in place for a long time. In a way she was, but not permanently. I still don't understand why Kate felt so compelled to keep doing all this weird stuff.
