I grew up on adventure point-and-click. Syberia was one of my favorite games. I don't think I played Syberia II, but I hear they're coming out with a Syberia 3. It's been a decade at least. I am ecstatic. Watching youtube videos now of Syberia 1.... it still looks amazing after all these years. Can't get enough of those automatons.

I played the first and liked it well enough. Couldn't get into the second. I abandoned it after a few hours; I found gameplay boring. I want story, not a tedious runabout most of the time. I hope they get #3 right.
The other adventure game I followed up on was The Longest Journey. I really love the first one. The puzzles might not make sense but it was story rich and filled with an interesting protag, chars and worlds. The sequel was ok and suffered greatly due to the clunky gameplay; I also didn't like the switch in protags. The third was half-ass though the devs gave their best. It just wasn't up to the first or second. I became bored, struggling through the chapters. It's only the thought of finding out the fate of the original protag that kept me going. Otherwise; I'd just give it up altogether.

I loved Syberia, it's one of my all-time favorite indie games. The art direction, the music, the characters... And there is a kind of pervasive loneliness to it which created the perfect ambiance for this game. I actually played this game again just a couple of months ago in preparation for Syberia 3. I'm holding off on playing Syberia 2 until we're a little close to 3's release. There's also a comic coming out for Syberia 3 for those interested... www.facebook.com/syberia.series/

Thanks for reminding me about these type of games, I hadn't played them since I was a child. Had a blast with some of them. I remember reading about Syberia when it came out from some magazines, but maybe got around to playing it, might have to give it a try.

There's also a comic coming out for Syberia 3 for those interested... www.facebook.com/syberia.series/The first thing I noticed right off..is the mole in the comic. I'm sorry but I always associate the mole with April Ryan from The Longest Journey (1999), Syberia was released in 2002. I'm surprised to find it on Kate. Between the two, I like April Ryan better because the player know what she's thinking, what she's feeling, what she has experienced by reading her journals. You see her development through the course of the game. Which is why I was extremely pissed when she became a secondary character in Dreamfall, the sequel. I didn't take to the new protag; Zoe, but because April is in the story, I stayed with it. Even now, April is still shaded in mystery, sort of. The devs, if I remember right, did not confirm player suspicion. Anyway, fingers crossed for Syberia III.

I think the characters in Syberia are pretty bad to be honest. Flat and displaying a weird, misplaced attempt at humour. The story itself is good - you unravel it - as is the atmosphere. The automatons playing on the bandstand is a really memorable scene.
There is a nasty bug in Barrockstadt that has to do with an egg. It makes the game crash to desktop. Funny of all the game, that's the first thing I remember.
Is Syberia 3 looking good?

I realy liked Syberia for what it offered back in the days but i really don't recall much. the 3rd one seems to be inspired by Telltale to an extent which is not surprising cause Zero Escape and Dreamfall took the same route. Daedalic's Silence is probably the best example so far when it comes to mixing old style with modern ways but it didn't have enough budget.

oh it's out? Kk, going to check how's the gameplay. P.S. Watching on Twitch now. Graphics is improved. Animation is uh ok, just don't expect top notch stuff. World environment looks good. The VAs are just reading off the script and they didn't match it right; grandpa char sounds like a young guy.

I've tried loadin Siberia 2, the free from Origins one, and I could not find a setting to put it in the windowed mode with some sort of an appropriate resolution. It just stretched over my screen authomatically, and I gave up. Anyone knows how to force it into a small window? It's sort of a weird cutscene in the beginning, with Syberia sounding like Sannikov's Land or something similar from vintage fantasy/sci-fi.

I've only played the 2nd game so far, since it was free in Origins. I really liked it, and gameplay was fairly easy, with my biggest complain (if you can call it that) being that it was a bit on the short side. How's Syberia 3 overall?

I've only played the 2nd game so far, since it was free in Origins. I really liked it, and gameplay was fairly easy, with my biggest complain (if you can call it that) being that it was a bit on the short side. How's Syberia 3 overall? I just finished playing it today actually. It's a bit of a mixed bag IMO and doesn't measure up to the first two games. I felt the mystery, story direction and ambiance were stronger in the first two games, but there were certainly enjoyable moments in the third. The major cinematic moments still felt good, and the music is fantastic (Inon Zur) throughout. It takes on a slightly darker tone in this one, but on the whole still keeping with the feel of the series. The move to a true 3D engine brings greater fidelity to the series than the prior games, but the navigation is... a bit iffy and you really want to use a controller for this one. Fortunately, you're never under any time constraints so you can muddle along at your leisure. The VAing is a mixed bag as well. Kate and a few others are fine, but there are many poorly voiced characters (or just the wrong VA for certain characters). There's one character I swear is just temp text-to-voice they forgot to swap out. Maybe it's just the English language version. I got used to it though. They "Syberia-style" dialogue is in full effect here and pretty much everyone calls you by your full name. If you live to 150, you'll never forget the name "Kate Walker". The puzzles I thought were good for the most part. Some are easy, some are definitely on the tricky side. Just like the prior games though, some puzzles will require a crucial item that may not be easy to find or what you think is the logical approach... doesn't work. Fortunately, those are only a few. The Youkol feature heavily in this one, and while their goals drive the story forward in what I thought was a pretty interesting way, I felt like a teacher on a school outing. They are completely dependent on you and it makes you wonder how these people have been able to survive on their own. TBH, you could arguably say the same for a large number of the NPCs in this game. I won't spoil the story or ending except to say... ... it ends on a cliffhanger. Now I can only hope the sales of this series is strong enough to warrant a 4th game (or at least DLC), because it would be profoundly disappointing (to say the least) for the series to end like this.

I feel as though they're trying to emulate TLJ Dreamfall's ending. That was an effing cliffhanger. I was pissed off by the switch in main protag, and I was super annoyed when the conclusion showed up after seven, eight years later. The consolation I get is that TLJ's protag lives, sort of. Siberia III? Good luck on that one. She'll show up all broken if Siberia IV do get made. Dumb sequence and the ending, btw, for Siberia III.
