Beautiful melanocholy - Part II
Syberia 2 is definitely a better game as a whole compared to the first game. The first game sets the (most amazing ever) lore, the characters, the style of playing, the (amazing "autumn") atmosphere, but it lacks better adventure moments. It´s good, nice, but could have been better. From the gameplay perspective, Syberia is more streamlined that I would like. There are especially two moments Syberia´s gameplay that are confusing and somehow misleading. But this is is fixed in Syberia 2. Gameplay-wise, this game is smarter and more mature. There are more real puzzles, there are really difficult puzzles, there are less difficult puzzles - the most important thing is that the gameplay of the game is much more interesting (more better gameplay). There are three downsides tho: 1. The first is that the game lacks of the "wow" effect of Syberia. Tho you cannot blame Syberia II for that as it is not the game´s fault that it was released as the second game. The next two are more serious. 2. The characters are not developing anymore. Remember how the relationship between Kate, Dan, Olivia and also her boss was developing? It was beautiful. You cannot find anything like this in Syberia II. The characters are now static, no further development happening, even Kate was a bit controversial at the beginning as some her lines did not correspond with the ending of Syberia. 3. The third one are the cutscenes from New York that totally break the atmosphere of being somewhere only god-knows-where far far away from civilization. The first game did it beautifuly - no cutscenes, just some phone calls. Those cutscenes are too disrupting. They also bring a subplot with a detective sent after Kate which is just awful. Totally pointless and unneccesary for the story. The ending of this subplot is just as ridiculos as its whole meaning. The ending is beautiful as was the one in Syberia. Inon Zur´s fantastic soundtrack is just out of this world. 84%
