Syberia

Some games you play and love, while others you learn they are not for you. This one is not for me.

I have wanted to play this game for ages, finally had the chance to sit down with it and I was not disappointed. To start off, I found it to be very enjoyable. Over the time I grew very attached to Kate and Oscar and found their dynamic to be immensely adorable. I liked the story and enjoyed how it progressed. There were issues, but I would put them down to age, such as the some of the game mechanics. It felt tedious in some parts of the story, especially with the sauvignon berries in the second part but after that I felt that the story was quite streamline. Overall, I enjoyed it more than it frustrated me. If you have some spare time then this is definitely a game that I would recommend.

As a lover of adventure games, I don't know why it took me so long to finally play Syberia, because I've heard how great it is for years. The story isn't necessarily something that normally appeals to me (I prefer more grounded stories) but neither is my favorite all-time series The Longest Journey franchise. If the game is good, the game is good, it doesn't matter what the story is. The world-building and puzzles in Syberia are among the most immersive in all of adventure games, the story is deliberately but carefully crafted, and I loved the relationship between Kate and Oscar, who is a perfect adventure game sidekick. A classic that earns its title.

Played the game in 2003,now all the fun again. Bought the full package of Siberia.

Dated game!
