This is actually more a movie (80% of time) than a game (20% of time). Nonetheless, this game is the final Syberia by Benoît Sokal and has an extremely rich story, a true legacy he left behind. RIP Mr. Sokal! Like stated, it is mainly a movie with few interaction and the puzzle are few.

What a wonderful game. I enjoyed every minute spent with Syberia - The World Before. The story had me hooked right from the beginning until the very last minute... and yes, I mean the very last minute . It's just such a well written game. A fine addition to the lovely Syberia franchise! And not only this, but the graphics are phenomenal. This is definitely one of the most breathtaking, picturesque games I've ever played. There were numerous moments when I just had to stop and take in the scenery around me. The world is beautiful, believable and makes you wish you could enter your screen to actually be there, particularly the mountain regions. The puzzles were a joy too - they weren't too difficult, but some were far from easy as well. My favorite puzzle is towards the end of the game, and it had me pull out a piece of paper and a pen - something no game has made me do in ages! I was so giddy when I got the solution right thanks to my notes! My only gripe with the game is the voice acting (except for Kate, Oscar and Dana - these performances were stellar). Why on Earth does everyone in a German village have some variation of a British accent and why do they all mispronounce German words like Fräulein? This one thing broke my immersion and got a sad chuckle out of me from time to time. Anyway, this is just a blip on the radar. Syberia - The World Before is a game that I cannot recommend enough. Its story and world will stay with me forever. I'd love to say why exactly, but I'd hate to spoil anything. Please trust me and play it for yourself.

One of the best games I've ever played. What a story, drama, characters, atmosphere, puzzles! No words needed. Thank you, Benoit Sokal.

Honest, detailed and spoiler-free review Syberia - The World Before is an adventure game with a beautiful narrative and engaging story. It is a continuation of the Syberia series telling the story of Kate Walker for the fourth time. There is a pretty good chance that this is the last game of the series because the man responsible for writing the story is no longer among living. I must confess that this is the first game of the series that I played. I haven’t had a chance to play previous titles but I plan on fixing that mistake. I am giving this game a recommended rating, however, I do not completely agree with it. Something in between positive and negative would be more accurate. In my opinion there were some aspects of the game that heavily influenced it in a negative way. When you launch the game, you will be greeted with a beautiful piano melody and Dana’s pleasing face in the main menu. It already creates a good vibe that’s gonna accompany you until the end. The game is narrated in a very beautiful way. The story is deep and will keep you engaged throughout the whole experience. The locations and graphics will surely take your breath away as they were made with attention to detail. The characters are well-written, explicit and likeable (with a few exceptions). The team responsible for making this game put a lot of effort into making our first impression very strong. It worked on me. I was amazed by the experience that was presented to me and it made me wanna keep playing and discovering the story. There are two main characters and both ladies have very nice and charming personalities. You will absolutely love them both and will root for them the whole time. This may sound absurd but in my opinion the worst aspect of this game is that it is an adventure game. Allow me to explain. Syberia series is known for being filled with puzzles. You can encounter them in basically every location. There is always something you have to do in order to be able to proceed with the story. It’s a bit forced in my opinion. The problem is that those puzzles get ridiculously difficult. They get so complex that you may spend literally hours trying to figure them out and fail. Even with a guide some puzzles were taking me half an hour to an hour to complete. So you get a little bit of story, a difficult puzzle, some more story and another puzzle. It basically looks like this and I don’t like it. I understand that there are people who love those puzzles and may even play the game for the sole purpose of solving the puzzles but I am not one of them. It affected my experience quite a lot. What I also didn’t like was the camera. You have no control over it and it adjusts itself based on where your character is currently standing. I experienced a few bugs and glitches and they are all connected to the camera. Somebody did a pretty bad job there. I often found my character going in a completely different direction than the one I have been choosing for it to go to because I have been clicking on some invisible wall. Having experienced it once or twice, I would have ignored it but I had problems like this more often than I would want to. In summary, this is an exceptional game that everyone should play for the story. I think that it is that good. The game gives a good vibe which accompanies you throughout the whole experience. The characters and locations also leave an enormous impression. Unfortunately, there are also aspects like the camera or forced absurdly difficult puzzles that take a lot of time to solve which can affect your experience in a negative way. Despite that, I would still recommend trying it for yourself. The things that were problems for me may not be for you.
