Syberia: The World Before

100%. This is by far the most touching and lovely part of the series. The visuals and the writing are so beautifull, and the puzzles are well put together. In the first 3 titles there often where some puzzles where I would get stuck, because the puzzles where sometimes very bizare, but in this game I never felt stuck. What a beautifull passing gift from Benoit. I hope that the studio continues his legacy especially when the ending leaves room for the next title.

What a beautiful game. I’d say it’s a must play for anyone who loves the Syberia series, but it’s completely enjoyable even if you know nothing about the previous entries. I think this might actually be the best of the four games. The only negatives for me: the story relied a bit too much on coincidences (a slight spoiler example: [spoiler] how Kate happens to find that exact picture of the woman. [/spoiler] I mean, from a probability standpoint, the chances of her picture being right there feel virtually impossible). As for the ending, I wouldn’t have minded if the game had been a bit longer to give the story a proper ending. Unfortunately, since the development studio shut down, a continuation isn't going to happen. It was great to go on one last adventure with Kate Walker.

烂。我自认为是比较能够耐着性子忍受缺点通关各种游戏的人，但这游戏是少有的我只玩了三分之一就迫不及待打差评且非常确定即使后期剧情再好我也绝对不会改好评的游戏，何况我并不认为写出让达娜和里昂无厘头迅速相爱、莱尼用命雌竞的编剧能在后面给我整出什么好剧情。 前期剧情感觉对系列作有门槛，人物性格、部分情节以及推动剧情的逻辑让新玩家摸不着头脑，仿佛制作组默认玩家都了解系列前作剧情。 此外，人物动作缓慢，固定摄像头视角，各种卡脚的场景建模，所有播片和对话均不能跳过，我以前不是没玩过这样的游戏，量子梦做的暴雨和超凡双生或多或少也有这些问题，但完全不让人恼火，而这部游戏缺点远不止于此。人物对话信息量低，情绪莫名其妙，大量的无意义慢放ppt式播片，大量的空镜互动点让你强行感受制作组的美术，明亮一点的物体调查点非常不明显，就连对话完一个npc也要继续怼着npc的脸七八秒钟才肯让玩家自由操作，互动点也塞一堆繁琐的操作，开一个推拉门用左摇杆逆时针往左边推，再用右摇杆顺时针往右边推，最后左摇杆往上推，整个游戏流程里充斥着大量制作组水时间的互动设计，简直到了走火入魔的地步，以至于我每次只能玩2个小时就必须停下来缓解痛苦，能通关这部游戏的玩家都可以称之为佛了。

Excellent!

While its better than the third entry, it still falls WAY too short when compared to the first or second game. Kate Walker is ruined to the point where she is too unlikeable for me to root for her. Especially when she refused to return home to visit her mother's grave. Dana's story was superior in every way, and her story was the only thing that kept me going. 5/10

a masterpiece. brought back nostalgia from when i played syberia 1&2. this one is far better though: the setting, the storyline, the puzzles, the visuals. all in all, one of my fav game franchises.

A nice step up after the vibe-coded troll that was Syberia 3. Some plotlines are just odd, like Kate's short-lived new relationship in the salt mines, but you get to spend most of the game watching Kate Walker in her skin-tight leather pants. Overall an enjoyable story with a somewhat ok payoff. Puzzles were fun, but for the most part the game is treated more like a visual novel as you go from place to place.
