I'm so glad I took a chance on this game. It's a beautiful work of art. Syberia - The World Before shares some similarities in gameplay to the Life is Strange series, but with older characters, a wartime theme, and some puzzles. I did have to look up a few solutions online, but overall, the game holds your hand and guides you almost every step of the way. I laughed, I cried, and I was honestly surprised by some of the plot developments. I definitely recommend it, especially to older gamers looking for a slower, relaxing, story-rich game.

An excellent sequel to the previous games in the series. The parallel timelines are beautifully excecuted and the story is very well written, although a bit predictable at times. The atmosphere and the slow pace are problably my favourite parts of the game. Some of the puzzles are a bit too easy for my taste though. I would have preferred a few more tricky ones.

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.

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