Syberia - Remastered

Very good remaster, stay true to the core charms of the original.

Syberia is a point a click game with such an impeccable vibe of early 2000s 3d adventure games. Wonderful and evocative pre-rendered environments, and outlandish characters. Unfortunately this remaster is marred with bugs that make the experience visibily worse. Cutscenes are out of sync with their own audio, some click areas in the mid game are offset or not visible, having you play the game doing back and forth with guides and forum searches. It's sad, because the game is so worth it, but in this state I do not recommend it.

до чего же хорошо

I had played the original Syberia years ago, but only got around halfway through and left it there. Since the remaster came out, I wanted to give it another chance, and overall I’m glad I did. The visuals look nice, and the story and dialogue are still the same as the original, which is a good thing because they are easily the strongest parts of the game. The atmosphere and writing still work really well, and that made it easy for me to stay interested. The puzzles are where I have more mixed feelings. They are not extremely hard, but some of the objects you need feel randomly placed around the map, and a lot of them don’t really have much logic behind them. You can’t always think, “Okay, the thing I need should probably be here,” and then actually find it there. Sometimes it feels more like walking around until the game finally lets you discover the correct item. I also still don’t like the camera angles. I didn’t like them in the original either, but back then I could at least blame it on the technical limitations of its time. Here, it still bothers me because the camera often looks at you from the place you are trying to go, instead of letting you clearly see what is ahead. That leads to a lot of annoying backtracking, because you constantly have to walk somewhere just to check if the thing you need is even there. Other than that, the puzzles are mostly average to slightly above average, and the game itself is still good. It has some annoying old-school adventure game habits, but the story, dialogue, and atmosphere carry it well enough. 7/10 - A good game.

Wonderfully remastered, fantastic 3D environments and smart changes to the puzzles. Camera work during in-game cutscenes is fantastic, and early bugs have been patched. The original videos for certain story moments are kept as-is, which for me doesn´t matter at all! Runs excellent on the SteamDeck and is a joy to play there. Highly recommend for a timeless classic. I hope they remaster Syberia 2

Was included in a Humble Bundle, so I figured I’d give it a go since I enjoyed the original. Unfortunately, Syberia Remastered feels like a project where the budget, enthusiasm, or possibly both simply wandered off halfway through development. The scenery and character models have been updated reasonably well, but apparently nobody told the cutscenes or voice work that a remaster was happening. The result is a bizarre jump between updated 3D environments and aged FMV sequences with dodgy lip-sync and audio, which is less “faithful restoration” and more “we found the old files on a hard drive.” They’ve also somehow managed to remaster in an impressive collection of new features: bugs, poor controller support, random crashes, and FMV voice-sync issues. At £25.99, this is frankly hilarious. You’re essentially paying a premium to experience the original game with nicer scenery but more technical problems.. Save some money and just get the original for a more enjoyable experience.

Unoptimized and unstable... When playing this, my PC became an oven, maybe when it heard about Syberia, WHO KNOWS. The game is too easy, almost no challenge, no double-click instant movement, only janky movement and animations. The voice acting is the same and im ok with it, but why werent the cutscenes remastered? Was it because Warcraft REFUNDED was the template for this? Just buy and play the original which is much better.
