Loved It Then, Still Love It Now

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.

Amazing experience

For me it's one of the most fantastic point-and-click adventures ever! Great story, brilliant voice acting, unforgotable mood and above all amazing pictures that have unique style that only few artists can create.

Sometimes simple stories are best

I don't normally play point and click games, but this one was quite entertaining. The story starts out slow and picks up later, and it's a nice change from typical game stories - it is more like a novel. The puzzles are mostly logical, as long as you remember to use the phone and revisit areas and people. It should be said that the game *does* run on modern computers, maybe other people had problems with specific hardware or drivers. The game crashed only once for me and otherwise worked "out of the box". Save often to avoid losing progress.

Lovely story, sometimes infuriating game

Very cool story, interesting characters with somewhat unusual goals. I was unsure whether to award it 4 or 5 stars, because some decisions you have to make in the game are just redundant (like hit a specific dialog option when everything's set up right before Kate's eyes) or just plain stupid (yeah, I'm talking to you, Barrockstadt flow terminal control). The story's too good to let it at just four stars, so there you have it. Kudos for the voice actors, especially for those incredibly upsetting phone calls when you got your hands full and just need to scram.

You need to take your time

This is a really good example of a classic point-and-click adventure. The backgrounds are gorgeous, and the plot is excellent. But to enjoy it, you need to relax and play it slowly, and not be too quick to reach for a walkthrough, otherwise it becomes an exercise in frustration. A couple of days off sick on the sofa is best as it only needs a mouse to use, and is far more fun than watching daytime TV. However, it also has the worst problems of pixel hunting and hard-to-spot objects I've seen for a long time. I had to resort to two walkthroughs to find a book on a table that I was meant to be able to see. Perhaps playing it on a bigger screen would help, but it could also be solved by clickable things being a bit more highlighted. If you only play one game from this era, play The Longest Journey instead. But this is also worth your time.
