nightdive does brilliant work on these remasters; im only really familiar with heretic and I always had to be veeeery patient with the controls. now this is fixed, I can just enjoy the game
I'm only somewhere past the middle, but i can already say that this is one of those pointnclick greats.
i can see why i liked it at release. it just doesnt hold up to well and so there arew many alternatives to be found. still, fun enough for a playthrough
Since I was a child, just like with Crystal Caves, I put on some Michael Jackson and for half an hour here and there i have a wonderful time.
this is a great game and you really should play it imo. the thing is though, that it took me an hour to get past a black screen on start up and then i had to find out why the game froze up in full screen. turns out that these were known issues even in Mafia 3 which released four years earlier. - the black screen: the game doesnt run on a 144hz screen, you have to download a !THIRD PARTY! file and change commands in the .ini - freezing up in full screen: its a Vsync issue. i had to start up the game via the Steam app which allowed me to start it up in Windowed Mode. than i had to turn vsync off in the options, turn on full screen and than i can turn vsync on again. these were known issues to 2k and i know very little about PC's so this is UNACCAPTABLE!!!
this is quite a decent point n click, 6 hours in and ive had a lot of fun with this one.
6.5/10 Syberia is certainly not bad; i looks and sounds good, it also controls fairly well and the story was intersting enough to keep me going. The game feels, though, a little bit suffocating: it all is unnecessary slow, moody, weighty and vast. maybe it's a cultural thing but the characters and their subsequent dialogues are ( i believe) generally meant to be colourful, quirky and nice-ish but to me it is just offputting and ugh. disliking your lead chaarcter is never a good thing. the puzzles are ok; fairly well made and a few were fun enough, but Kate has to burglarise and steal everthing in her path because, as a whole, the puzzles and her journey make no sense whatsoever. I'd recommend you only play this after you allready played the LucasArts PointNClicks, Blade Runner and The Bizarre Adventures of Woodruff and the Schnibble.
