Good but not worth the current price
As I'm getting older my gaming tastes are changing as I hardly play AAA action games of the last 15 years or so like I used to. Playing hyped genres like twitch or boomer shooters give me the same level of enjoyement as watching someone else streaming a playthrough on the internet. So I'm now playing point and click adventures of old I neglected decades ago. Just finished playing Beyond a Steel Sky for example. That brings me to Cyberia, a sci-fi railshooter with puzzles, as I think this game has more in common with traditional P&C adventures than most P&C purists are willing to admit. I decided on digging up my cd-rom copy for reasons described in the title, replay it and write a review for it. Altough labeled as a railshooter, Cyberia actually has three gameplay elements: Walking sections where you have to navigate through places, dodge enemies and do some light shooting, Action sequences, either a shooting gallery like a turret level or railshooting flying levels. And puzzles, where you need to use your glasses to defuse bombs, open locks, hack mainframes, etc. This is what I like about Cyberia as it sets it apart from most railshooters of that period as here the game is much more diverse. Still because of the nature of these games Cyberia can be frustratingly hard and obtuse at times which leads to a lot of trial and error. Probably deliberate or the game would have been too short. The reason I wanted to replay it was because I remembered a flying scene that was almost dreamlike. And yes, that part, while lowres, still held up, the flight to Siberia with incredible doppler sound effects is still an amazing tour de force. I do not recommend a joystick but just mouse and keyboard, also read the manual so you know all the keyboard commands (F1, F2, F3, F and L are important!). To end this, I have to say that the game at €10,- is overpriced and can't recommend it unless it's €5,- or lower.
