Syberia: The World Before

My mom and I loved this game all the way through! Wonderful graphics and engaging storyline

This was my first Syberia game and it hooked me. I really enjoyed the relaxing way this game guides you by the hand. I feel like there are not enough games that are both engaging and relaxing. Most point and click stress me out. Here everything was pretty straightforward, puzzles were quite easy with one exception in the second part of the game. Game has an interesting, emotional story, beautiful views and music. The characters are well made and their facial expression were particularly good at conveying emotions. It was easy to connect with the everyone and it felt convincing and realistic, Even though there were dark parts to the story, overall vibe felt hopeful and uplifting. Trigger warnings below: The theme is circling around alternative history but it's really seems to be about the Nazi violence / hate against Jewish people. It also includes war and people dying. I generally find explicit depictions of war upsetting but I was able to finish the game for it balances difficult parts with the nicer ones.

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.

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.

As a fan of Syberia 1 and 2, It is pretty hard to write - but I didn't enjoy this game. Maybe I'm just old and bitter, but it didn't get the sense of adventure the previous games had. Syberia 3 had serious flaws, but at least it had structure and a goal. TWB, for me, is just a journey of an insane woman chasing ghosts for no reason. At the start, the character what is supposedly very dear to Kate urges her to investigate the random portrait of a woman who she says looks like Kate (it really doesn't). The problem is, we had exactly two interactions between them before [spoiler] she is killed [/spoiler]. So I, as a player have no emotional or logical investment in this task. Kate keeps grasping at straws to follow the trail of this "mystery" while the trail just ends multiple times, yet somehow it keeps going. Except at the very end, when she has a clear goal and objective, Kate says "I guess this Is it, I'm going home", before remembering to sequel bait. The parallel story of a woman during ww2 is also a mixed bag - some engaging, some real and sad, some purely fairy tail logic. The art and music are beautiful though. Just as expected.

"There will always be a train for you" ... Love this game. Despite janky UI and puzzles made unnecessarily difficult be having to hunt for interaction points ... Still, every playthrough is a pleasure thanks to gripping story and wonderful music.
