Über das Spiel

Kate Walker, eine junge, aufstrebende Anwältin aus New York, wird etwas angeboten, was wie ein unkomplizierter Auftrag erscheint - ein kurzer Zwischenstopp um den Verkauf einer alten Automatenfabrik, versteckt in den Alpentälern, zu erledigen, und dann direkt zurück in die USA.
Sie konnte sich nicht im Traum vorstellen, dass sich ihr Leben grundlegend verändern würde, als sie sich auf das Projekt einließ. Auf ihrer Entdeckungsreise durch Europa, von Westeuropa zu den entlegensten Gegenden Ostrusslands reisend, begegnet sie einer Heerschar an unglaublichen Charakteren und Schauplätzen bei ihrem Versuch Hans den genialen Erfinder ausfindig zu machen - der finale Schlüssel um das Geheimnis von Syberia zu entschlüsseln. Ihre Reise durch Land und Zeit stellt alles was sie schätzt in Frage, während der Deal den sie unterschrieben hat, sich als ein Pakt mit dem Schicksal herausstellt.

♔ Syberia ♔



Mein allererstes Point & Click Spiel. Und nach all den Jahren immer noch eines meiner Liebsten.

Das ganze Spiel hat eine dramatische, spannende Atmosphäre. Und auch heute noch, finde ich das Spiel optisch mehr als gelungen. Dabei gibt es diese wunderschöne Musik und eine herzzerreißende Story die mich immer wieder erneut in ihren Bann zieht.

Syberia ist zu einem Spiel geworden, an das ich wahnsinnig gerne zurückblicke und immer wieder gerne starte. Und nach all den Jahren, hat sich daran nichts geändert. Selbst die Charaktere sind so einzigartig und liebevoll ausgearbeitet, das ich sie tief in meinem Herzen trage.

Die Rätsel selbst sind sehr simpel und nur ab und an etwas knifflig. Aber durch diese düstere Atmosphäre, nimmt man alles noch mal etwas anders wahr. Und noch heute, läuft mir bei manchen Stellen ein kleiner Schauer über den Rücken. Es ist aber kein wirklicher Grusel, geschweigedenn Horror!

Das Spiel ist unter anderem deutsch vertont und auch da muss ich sagen, das ich die Synchronsprecher wirklich passend und gelungen empfinde.

Für mich ist dieses Spiel ein Meisterwerk und eine riesengroße Empfehlung für alle die dieses Spielegenre mögen!

GERMAN DIALOGUES SUPPORTED // DEUTSCHE SYNCHRONISIERUNG VERFÜGBAR

I'm trying to find any and all games boasting full german support. This requires at the very least that dialogues have been carried over to german. Games offering subtitles only do not suffice to make it to this list // Ich versuche, jedes Spiel zu finden, das volle deutsche Übersetztung bietet. Dies setzt zumindest voraus, dass die Dialoge auf Deutsch übertragen wurden. Spiele, die nur Untertitel anbieten, reichen nicht aus, um in diese Liste zu gelangen.

PLEASE PM ME ANY GAME THAT YOU KNOW INCLUDES FULL GERMAN SUPPORT. // BITTE PM MIR JEDE SPIELE, DIE SIE WISSEN, ENTHALTEN VOLLSTÄNDIGE DEUTSCHE UNTERSTÜTZUNG.

Syberia hat fast jeder schon mal gehört. Zu Recht: es ist ein sehr schönes Point&Klick Adv, das in seiner Zeit zu den schönsten gehörte. Die Engine wirkt etwas antiquiert, aber das macht nichts. Mit 8-10 Std. Spielzeit kriegt man einen Corona-Tag spielend rum.

Ein Grafik Klick adventure dessen größte Stärke ganz klar beim erzählen einer schönen und durchdachten Story liegt, die selbst jemanden wie mich der solche Spiele eigentlich wenig bis gar nicht spielt dazu gebracht hat dieses Spiel durchzuspielen.

Das spiel bietet c.a 10-15 Std die Kompakt und einheitlich wirken, nichts wirkt künstlich gestreckt. Die Rätsel sind ab und zu etwas knifflig aber niemals unfair, im Notfall ist es aber auch keine Schande mal in die Virtuelle Komplettlösung nachzuschlagen. Die Technik ist natürlich für 2002 dementsprechend, erfreulicher weise habe ich 2020 auf Win 10, 64 Bit tatsächlich keine Probleme damit gehabt das Spiel ordentlich zu installieren und zu spielen.

Fazit: Man macht mit dem Spiel sicher nichts falsch, wenn man sich darauf einlässt erwarten einem 10-15 Std entspannendes Gameplay mit einer wirklich schönen und emotional fesselnden Story. Allein der Preis ist etwas fraglich 12,99€ würde ich heute aufgrund des Alters und der doch überschaubaren Spielzeit nicht bezahlen, hier empfehle ich auf eine Sale Aktion zu warten oder sich an vertrauenswürdige Key Shops zu wenden.

Viel Spaß beim selber spielen;)

My Playtime: 7.5h (finished the game)

Intro


Syberia is a point and click game about automatons and traveling. You'll play as a woman that travels between places in a world full of automatons, a term used for robots that have souls.

Pros:
- Beautiful-looking backgrounds that have aged
- Some solutions can be tricky to solve

Cons:
- Objects tend to be hidden very well
- A lot of backtracking at the beginning

Specs
Intel Core i5-9300H 2.40GHz, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

Should you buy this game?


Yes.
If you like to play point-and-click games with a lot of walking around, buy this game at a sale.



In-Depth Review



Visuals


The game boasts multiple beautiful-looking backgrounds, but sadly, the visuals have aged. Characters look weird with their low-poly count and animation isn't looking as smooth as how it usually is in newer games. The buildings are still good if you account for the game's age though. The water reflection looks clear enough and the multiple perspectives that are shown when you are walking around the area makes traveling not boring.

Story


The game focuses on the premise that was told at the beginning. Everything that you do in the game will go towards that premise, although some dialogues between the main character and the automaton that aids her travel, Oscar, leave me amused sometimes. Oscar is an automaton that follows strict rules and is a selfish being, to the point that it can irritate the main character due to its annoying regulations. On the other hand, the main story feels bland to me, and the weak conclusion doesn't seem to help either. The last cutscene might look great to watch, but it feels too predictable to me.

The Game


Gameplay
As a point and click game, you'll travel between places, picking objects and using them for other objects. It can take some time before you get the hang of it, especially since some objects require you to interact in a certain order that is uncommon to be found in point-and-click games. Some objects are also placed in a place that is hard to see, changing the game to be one where you have to hover your mouse around the area until you see the cursor change.

The backtracking at the beginning was horrible. The game offers 4+ huge areas that you need to explore around, and the character walks very slowly. Moreover, you need to wait for her animations, whether it's just running to the other screen, going upstairs, or operating a machine, before you can switch to other screens. It can be exhausting to wait, especially since you need to go back and forth a lot if you don't know what you are doing. Luckily, it doesn't feel as bad from the middle half. Each new location is made smaller with important objects being made more obvious, making it easy to finish the area. I started to enjoy the game more after the change, and I'm glad that they keep it until the end.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2583431240

Solutions can be tricky at the beginning, but you'll get used to them. I didn't know that I need to interact with a mechanism in a certain order and some solutions require brute force to complete for example. The solutions will become simpler as you play, although some are still made tricky to make it more interesting. If you just want to brute force everything, the game also makes it easier by changing the cursor to indicate whether you can or can not use a certain object for another.

Length and Difficulty
I finished the game in 7.5h. I admit that the game was hard at the beginning, to the point that I didn't know what to do next. Most of the problem comes from the obscure objects and weird mechanics though. I didn't even know where an area was located at the beginning because it was so hard to see. The same also goes for interactable objects - some objects will appear after an event happen, and you'll need to be very attentive to see these objects. I wasn't particularly fond of these mechanics since I either have to read a guide to preserve my sanity or become frustrated with finding a needle in a haystack.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2613536697

Problems
The game crashed on me once and it doesn't have an autosave. You are also forced to play the game on full screen. Lastly, you need to remember some numbers manually to progress the game.

Conclusion


While Syberia is still good enough to be seen as a walking simulator game, you need to be aware that the game was released years ago - the graphics surely have aged from all those years. Some objects aren't looking as good as it was, and there are some oddities in the animations. The point and click elements might be lacking at the beginning, especially due to the useless backtracking and hard-to-find objects, but they soon start to improve starting from the latter half. I started to enjoy the game more because of it, and the character started to grow on me. Although I couldn't recommend it at the full price, it can still be enjoyed at a sale if you don't mind playing an old game with some downsides.

Incredible point and click adventure and one of the all time classics. Every fan of the genre must play this.

I recommend this guide:

I also recommend the GOG version since it's better patched for modern systems but this one also works most of the time.

I've put off playing Syberia for so long because it is constantly compared to the Longest Journey, which is one of my all time favourite games. I didn't think it could possibly stand a chance at being nearly as good. But I finally gave in and gave it a shot. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! While it doesn't have the charm the Longest Journey offers (I may be biased due to Nostalgia) it does feel very similar. The voice acting is well done, the scenes are absolutely beautiful, the characters are quirky and the story keeps you wanting to play more (I beat the whole game in 3 days). While the ending seems to lack something, I suppose that's because there are a few more instalments. I'd definitely play this game again and I am looking forward to playing the sequel and I recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of point and click adventure games. And no this game does not take place 100% in a frozen tundra, which was my fear originally haha

What to say..Syberia is one of the all times best games of this genre. An amazing steampunk world full of wonders, questions, puzzles to solve and an incredible underlying story that simply carries you away! And the best part of it is that, once you finish the first one, you can go on with 2 amazing sequels, designed by the pencil of the stunning Benoît Sokal.

Although it saddens me, because I really believe the story was good, i must say that I feel really dissapointed with this game.
The only reason I kept playing it till the end was because I can't stand leaving things half-way there and unfinished!
First I need to say, it doesnt have an auto/quick save. I know most of you will say that it's a game from 2002, so its old, but I must remind you that there are games ( I wont write down the names of them out of respect for this one ) that were from 1990 and still had an auto save while you were playing, after some specific game-time had passed.
It crushed multiple times (even tho i downloaded the program it recommended at the start of the game so i can have better game performance) which caused me to lose my progress on the game everytime ( it happened 4 times ).
After all these mishappens, I decided to save my game every 5min just to be sure....
And then comes the final strike! Specific items didn't appear on the places they should have been even tho I loaded several times - and even went back to a previous save file just in case. So I had to download a save file from another site , just to continue playing and finish it!

Классный квест, интересный сюжет, классные персонажи, красивый продуманный мир. Головоломки не сложные и логичные, сложных моментов по-моему вообще не было, очень много элегантных решений, подстегивают играть дальше и посмотреть что же еще придумали авторы! Мир очень красивый, цельный и разнообразный, не смотря на устаревшую графику. Единственное что не понравилось, это управление, оно очень сильно устарело и замедляет геймплей постоянными паузами. В остальном класс! Кто не играл рекомендую.

I just loved the game.

Beautiful MYST-like scenery, mechanical beings and machines, the music is just lovely, big music-scores and intense that fits well with the different scenes in the game.

Though as an adventure game, it lacks a bit of logic to its interaction especially with people.
You use a notepad with a specific set of keywords and sometimes the triggering of those words can mean different things/result in relation to ones progression in the game which sometimes results in repeating dialogue with people/objects.

I would have wished they had added a quick-travel function within the game, cause sometimes you spent a lot of time running to get to one place or another which can be quite tedious if you're stuck..

But that's just a small thing..

Can't wait to try out Syberia 2..

I don't recommend buying this game at its full price, get it at a minimum 80% discount.
The game has not been updated to work with Windows 10, and the instructions provided as a workaround did not work with Windows 10.

In other words, this is a broken product being sold and ought to receive a not-recommended for that reason. The only way I was able to get it to work was to run it using dgVoodoo 2.

The story isn't very good, but isn't awful either. It's mostly a few moments with a lot of padded out events. It starts well and then becomes dull, as you end up having to backtrack between so many places.

Most of the puzzles are fun and simple, though some are quite convoluted and didn't make any sense.

The artwork does look dated, and is very drab and washed out, it does lend itself well to the atmosphere of the game, accompanied by a few key music pieces. So the environments do work well.

I'll still be trying out the sequel regardless.

I was not expecting to be this enchanted with a point and click game. I never really delved far into the genre although I've seen enough Kings Quest and Leisure Suit Larry from friends way back when. I am however, into narrative games such as Life is Strange and other visual novel/detective esque games. I did not expect to be enthralled so much by this game and story. It's enchanting in such a peculiar way that's rarely touched by games. I can see how many can find this boring, but if you like a good book and using your noggin give it a shot.

Also fuck Dan. All my girls hate Dan.

PS Don't forget to save and do not alt tab or else it will cause graphical errors and eventually crash the game. I lost an hour of play like this. If you really need to get help with puzzles use the tiny resolution shift+tab browser you have embedded into steam to search for help or just use your phone.

Syberia, as a point and click adventure game, is very traditional to the genre in its linearity and scope. The player has no dilemmas to make for the character, each chapter of the game is restricted to its setting, and the conversation choices have no impact on the overall outcome of the game or the given scenario. In terms of scope and overall style, Syberia keeps it very simple. The true charm of Syberia is mostly in its soundtrack, world building, settings, and visual style.

Even as an ardent fan of point and click adventure games, I cannot attest that this game is memorable for its gameplay due to the aforementioned simplicity. In fact, despite the settings looking great, there is little to be explored despite the vast open spaces given the abundance of locked doors or invisible boundaries. Most of this is attributed to the fact that although there is a story, it is very brief and offers very little in the way of mystery. Instead, the game's protagonist (Lawyer, Kate Walker) simply needs to find an heir to sign a document as part of conveying property into his name following the passing of his sibling.

But, this isn't to say that Syberia is a bad game. The overall backstory of the characters (mostly told through character dialogue or reading journals) is interesting, despite some of the dialogue being padded out somewhat. The settings and art style is very inspired but, with the exception of one section of the game which concerns the kidnapping of an opera singer, there really isn't much happening in the way of a story. Instead, Syberia is less a story and more a journey - which is fine. But, the style of pacing and atmosphere is best suited to games such as Myst, Zork or The Journeyman given the focus of atmosphere and isolation in those games where the story needs to be unearthed through exploration.

Finally, there really isn't much in the way of puzzles as the solutions in the game are almost exclusively suited to finding an object, using it on another object, or giving it to another character. There are only around two actual puzzles in the game.

Overall, while Syberia may not be the most inspired point and click when it comes to gameplay style, it does feature an enjoyable story with likeable characters, an engrossing soundtrack and awe inspiring settings and visuals, even if the finished product doesn't feel fully realised.

Much nostalgia, much sadness; very few games provide an experience of total escape from the authority of the present. I returned to this game after some ~15 years; my first encounter was around the age of 6 when I had to leave the game because I was too scared of the atmosphere. Alas, I still considered it a jewel of my childhood and my return brought back lives & dreams which had awaited for so long.

Interesting story, magnificent artwork!
Don't over-analyze details of this fairy tale and enjoy the journey. Like in the real life.
Play this game with a high attention, try not to let any useful detail escape from your view.

The story makes you think about the complexity of high paced modern city life, the correctness of your life's choices, your life path, the significance of love in the life of each human, the importance of following your desired dreams, the fragile nature of our existence, about being yourself (or be a human) in any circumstances, the fatality of long time loneliness if you have no desired purpose in life...
There are many themes in the game. The game only slightly touches these themes, lightly drawing thin silhouettes of images of our real world. Just for one purpose -- to build a (kind of) believable world of syberia universe.

The story is mainly about Hans and his genius. About his loyalty to his child's dream seeing mammoths, about courage to follow his dream despite the difficult obstacles in his path. It is truly inspiring!

The game has beautiful artwork! The 3D models and animations aged quite well, but the backgrounds and the cutscenes are wonderful. There are two big flaws in a gameplay though: long animations and an impossibility to skip them. It's kinda annoying.

The music is charming and chill!

There are no 'true' puzzles. You should just find a particular object to progress in the story. The problem is you may overlook a particular object. So be attentive.

The final of this story is kinda anticlimactic. I expected much more from the end of this chapter of the story. But seems like the true ending is in the sequel.

I recommend this game as a fairy tale for your entertaining. Don't expect great puzzles or epic story. It is a good addition for comfy evenings at home.

I grew up playing this game and I have replayed it many times since. The utter brilliance of the genius of Benoit Sokal is outstanding. The visual design, the storyline and the atmosphere are like no other. I would recommend you to not be discouraged by the outdated graphics and just dive into it. This game is unforgettable, worth every minute of it's gameplay. Make sure to also play the sequel in order to see how the story unfolds. I'd also recommend to play this game along with family members or friends, since it can provide a lot of interaction and definitely brings back nostalgia from when I first played it!

Was recommended to me, but it's dated and slow. The graphics are not great (I see a lot of reviews claiming they were for the time, but I would argue otherwise) and the dialogue is awful, especially the constant phone calls. By the time I reached the end, I was so bored I couldn't even be angry about the lacklustre final scene. Couldn't recommend this in good conscience, the only reason I can see for the endearing comments others leave is nostalgia.

-Spoiler-Free-
I was very confident when I picked up this game, but it was quite disappointing.
This game was extremely boring and the story made absolutely no sense to me and was boring in itself. There's a basic idea and cool concept: a factory that focuses on sophisticated contraptions and automatons which are basically robots, and mammoths/Syberia. When that already doesn't sound too cohesive, that's no surprise, because the story isn't either.
You are supposed to find a person, all you know is the last known location of that person is Siberia.

I don't know if I was simply too incompetent to grasp the story, but for whatever reason the protagonist decided to immediately take a train to wherever without even knowing exactly where the person she's looking for is. The train had to stop 2 times because the springs of the train unwound, and that's your story right there.
You end up in two different cities, have to talk to a bunch of random people, solve absolutely random puzzles, then return to talk to people you've already spoken to, only to find out that after a long time of running around, a new conversation option was available that would progress the story. Sometimes, there was absolutely no way to know how you would solve a puzzle or why you would have to talk to a specific character again. Imagine you pick up (not even use) an item, and suddenly ONE door out of DOZENS of doors that were previously locked is now unlocked - have fun going through all that hassle to try every door each time you get stuck - that's what the game would have you do without the contemporary help of walkthrough guides.

The conversations with the characters were dreadfully long and seldom interesting. There are absolutely random plot ideas with a random villain and a random opera singer who are in some way connected to the person we're looking for, but don't really contribute to the story other than keeping you busy for many hours senselessly.

There is a huge disconnect between the story and the gameplay/plot. Forced characters, forced plot, forced drama, forced villains. It feels like they had a basic concept and idea and forced the story around it because they had no better ideas and not actually a proper story to tell. There were no really interesting and sensical clues to the whereabouts of the person we're looking for, which I think is actually sad, because as we get to know within the first 20 minutes, that person was declared dead by their father after running away as a child.
There could have been an amazing story to tell about his life and experiences. And our protagonist, at that, has a character development that makes no sense either, when instead, she could have developed much differently whilst uncovering what really happened to the person in question and following their trail.

The game has a great soundtrack, I'll give it that, and I will play the other games just to find out if the developers improved. I don't know if plotlines like these were considered nifty and clever back in 2002, I don't understand the positive reviews, but this game was boring, non-cohesive and just straight out flat. Wouldn't play it to have fun.

Syberia is a 3D adventure / point-and-click game with a captivating, well written story. The game has beautiful sceneries with a lot of attention for small details. I enjoyed the steampunk/automatron aesthetics of the game quite a lot.

I was really surprised by the amazing animations, music and voice acting (the game is from 2002!). The puzzles are logical but rather easy.

The only “annoyance” for me was the walking and animation speed of the protagonist. Climbing ladders or stairs is super slow.

Syberia is a true-blooded example of its genre, ticking all of the 'ye olde point-and-click adventure' boxes for adventure games of the time: the pre-rendered, fantastical environments environments and weird animations, the charming voice-over work, the quirky humor and sometimes moving, epic plot, the surprising characters, and of course the buckets and buckets of puzzles, some of which make more sense than others. I don't have any immediate memory of 'moon logic' puzzles, but it has been a few years since I played it.

If you're a fan of the genre, you've probably already played it -- and if you're a fan and you haven't, this one is a no-brainer. It's a classic, for good reason. Some clunkiness is to be expected, but I think it holds up pretty well.

Jogo de aventura com uma história interessante. Sobre gameplay e puzzles, alguns são simples, outros te deixam meia hora procurando algum item no chão, que de vez em quando é difícil de ver a textura diferente. 3 puzzles foram bem interessantes e curiosos de como chegar à conclusão. Acho interessante que o jogo se restringe a dar todas as pistas de como resolver os puzzles no jogo mesmo. não é necessário conhecimentos externos.
Tem uma história secundária enquanto se vai avançando no jogo que é bem mamão com açúcar, com desfecho esperado, mas que me gerou algumas risadas.
ambientes e backgrounds achei interessantes, em especial os detalhes que mostram todos os locais visitados como que um pouco decaídos pelo tempo e pela falta de manutenção. Pessoal do design fez um excelente trabalho nisso.
Jogando direto acredito que seja possível finalizar em 8-10 horas, o que vale pegar o jogo na promoção.

What I instantly like about this click-adventure game is the artwork. The story was good, but the gorgeous visuals on each exotic location are what drew me in. Puzzles are pretty straight forward except for the piano. Make sure you save every 30 minutes, because I had a crash which cost me like 2 hours of gameplay (40 minutes speed run).

I really enjoyed playing Syberia for its atmospheric artwork and interesting storyline. It was good to see Kate develop during her mission, from the uptight lawyer scared of a few birds to a woman ready to handle dynamite. Oscar was a funny character and even he seemed a bit more human towards the end!

Negatives were just the initial hiccups of making this work on a Windows 10 laptop, and the irritation of traipsing back and forth in some locations just to get the actions done in the correct order to make progress.
As a newbie to games I was glad of the community help and the walkthroughs - I'm a grandma just trying something different to do in lockdown. Thank you!

Decent-ish story, but the gameplay is hopelessly dated, the voice acting mediocre and the puzzles kinda meh. Additionally...the PC version and the Mac version are wildly different. If you play on a Mac Syberia has a completely different interface which clutters the screen with a visual on every single thing you can interact with. On some screens that's a lot of clutter. Also, the Mac version is strangely (in some places) abridged, with some locations and screens from the PC version missing.

Even though this game is now almost 20 years old, it still holds on pretty great. 3D models could be a sore to the eyes, but amazingly done backgrounds and great cutscenes compensate for them. Definitely a must-play for people who enjoy adventure games. I played Syberia and Syberia 2 as a child and wanted to refresh my memories of those games before I jump into Syberia 3, and thankfully, all of these memories where not just nostalgia, but the true vision of a perfectly done adventure game. The topic is very interesting and can stimulate one's imagination, and it's a quite easy game - puzzles are very logical. As a Polish person, I also have to mention the dubbing which was done very well. Recommended for the players of all ages.

Even though the story is well written, the gameplay of this game is too outdated. It is a puzzle game where the biggest chunk of the time you spend walking around, which is very slow and tedious even if you know exactly where to go.

I got this game in a bundle for nearly free, but I would feel really frustrated if I had payed for this experience.

Life is Strange and Syberia are both the best games with a female protagonist I've ever played: showing a real personality with its lights and shadows, its complexes and its progression towards a strong and self-sufficient personality.

Two great examples of how a female character should be.

Besides this, Syberia has an immersive atmosphere with an interesting steampunk universe.

I'm not a fan of the mechanics of graphic adventures but this game has some merits than make it shine with its own light.

Probably its biggest flaw is that its story ends abruptly, seeming to be incomplete so it seems compelled to play the second part (which I haven't played yet).

I love it! Just so much nostalgia because of the game -- I had a copy for it when Windows XP was still widely spread. It's just so nice to play that game. Surely, the speed is a bit slow, you really have to sit down and discover, but this is a perfect atmosphere, the background story is really interesting and overall it's just a well-made point and click game.

Review brought to you by:

TentacleBunny's Cozy Cottage


Syberia is a pure classic and a cult of its era, with a large fan base that keeps it alive in our memories. It’s for good reason that despite all the years that passed by, this original 2002 Point & Click is still so loved and appreciated by players.

Kate Walker is the representative of a major American law firm, responsible for a contract that involves the sale of a family-owned spring-automaton toy factory. This is not a simple factory though, as it once was the most recognized factory in the world. Set in the small beautiful fictional town called Valadilène, the family that ran the Vorarlberg factory for centuries did it with passion and love, but everything dies, even the most precious toy.

Anna Vorarlberg, is the last heir of the family, and the sole owner of the factory. Kate has the simple mission to conclude the contract and return to New York to her simple and comfortable life that awaits her there. Life has other plans for Kate though, and things turn completely around with unexpected events that will have her diving deep into the Vorarlberg family, as well as embarking on a breathtaking journey.

Syberia’s storyline is simply marvelous, with both events and narrative being some of its strong points. The main character who is introduced as a young business woman aspiring to succeed in her life, quickly finds herself in a journey of self learning. Kate will start unconsciously realizing her materialistic life is no longer fulfilling, allowing her to care less and less about her mundane life and instead, welcoming the adventure with open arms.

It’s almost impossible to mention anything story-related without bringing spoilers to the surface, but rest assured Syberia has no fillers, or any step-backs. Its story progression connects all your actions and will most surely keep you captivated akin to a really good book. Characters become easily memorable with unique dialogues and their personality traits will make you remember them with a smile on your face.

When it comes to gameplay, Syberia is a traditional Point & Click, with some small minor puzzles, maintaining its direction mostly in gathering and using objects, as well as talking to NPC’s. There are four main areas in the game serving on what one could call chapters, and backtracking is not an option. The same can be said about puzzles and the game’s overall progression, as everything you need is close by. If you don’t like overly complicated Point & Clickers, Syberia will please you. It is simple, but logical, and all it requires is your attention and memory for some key names and numbers.

The art design for its time is remarkably romantic, inspired by the long train journeys you probably read in many novels, starting in an iconic European city, all the way to the east, with the strong presence of the old regime. Each area has a strong vibe of its history, and we can only wish there was more lore to them so our imagination could wonder further. Nonetheless, we are presented with magnificent inspiring locations, all with a strong dose of a vibrant protagonist in the story.

Designed by Benoît Sokal, you can see his talented art touches from the building’s architecture, all the way to the mechanical contraptions. The slight traces of steampunk influences are subtle, without overly abusing it, managing to create its own genuine art style.

Unfortunately, many old games don’t run exceptionally well on PC nowadays, but thanks to dgVoodoo2, it’s possible to emulate a 3D accelerator integrated GPU, which will significantly improve the visuals, as well as the resolution for Syberia. The original resolution is 640p, but once modded, playing on 16:9 the textures aren’t as stretched as you’d think, and characters look really good.

The pre-rendered backgrounds will undoubtedly look overly pixelated on 1080p and 4K, however, for a couch session the game it will look much better since you’re considerably more distanced from the screen. It’s up to you to see what resolution you may go for, but dgVoodoo2 can and will improve texture filtering, Anti-Aliasing, and much more. Check THIS GUIDE which will help you configure the best settings for your system.

With charming voiced dialogues and a smooth neo-classic soundtrack, Syberia has everything going for it when it comes to sound works. The OST is somehow short, but it fits perfectly well within the campaign with a background melodic composure.

A solid story, interesting characters and events, plus simple and easy to pick up gameplay mechanics define Syberia as an outstanding adventure. A fan favorite and for good reason. Siberia seems like it will be forever good regardless of how much time passes, always continuing to be an epic journey.

Syberia is just fine if you take off your rose-tinted glasses. After replaying it now I can safely say that it's not exactly what my childhood memories made it out to be. It's a solid adventure game, but not without a myriad of annoying flaws. There's TON of needless backtracking, going back and forth through mostly empty (though really pretty, even today), static screens, countless pointless, locked doors (which will never open up for you, they're just there to tempt you I guess), and most of the characters are a bit annoying (even Oscar is not as charming as I remembered him to be). The story itself has a really weird pacing, and ends quite abruptly after an incredibly flat climax. It's a solid 3/5, at best 3.5/5 because of nostalgia.

Regulations are regulations, Kate Walker!



An outstanding classic Point&Click game released back in 2002 and still can be played and enjoyed. The story about Kate Walker, a lawyer from New York who was assigned to handle the sale of an old automaton factory, but things aren't as easy as her boss was thinking. Upon arriving in Valadilene, she noticed a strange funeral going on, she then will learn that the owner of the factory is dead, however, she'll also learn later that there is an heir to the factory and sealing the selling contract won't be done unless she finds him and get his signature.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2152599300

The gameplay is just like any classic Point&Click where you have your inventory and asking people around until you find your way through the game as there is no objectives list or a map. The puzzles are very easy, but there are some pixel hunting as everything seems to be blended together, but if you hover the mouse on it you'll be able to see the interactable areas.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2152037298

I loved the artwork of this game, despite being an old game, but it is still pleasant to look at. The soundtracks are beautiful as well and I astrology love the voice-overs especially Kate! They did an amazing job, everything they said sounded real and convincing, it doesn't feel like they are in a play or reading from a paper, you feel the character's emotions in each line they are saying.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2152035259

Being an old game means there are lots of backtracking and sadly there is no map to know where are you exactly. The most boring area for me was the university, I also wished there was an automatic save because my game crashed once and I had to replay (thankfully) a small part from where I have saved before. Although the artwork is pretty, there are some huge empty areas where Kate will have to just run back and forth in them, I dislike the stairs, why there has to be stairs everywhere?

Pros:
+Interesting story.
+Great soundtracks.
+Nice character development.
+Well-done voice over.
+Nice graphics.

Cons:
- No automatic save.
- No map.
- Lots of backtracking.
- Stairs animations cannot be skipped.
- No Steam achievements.


The ending of the game is one of my personal favorites! Kate's personality is the best in this game, I love her character's development. Oscar is a very enjoyable character, he is interesting. I highly recommend this game to all P&C lovers or people who love to enjoy a good story and artwork.

I absolutely adore this game! I love the story and the art style, even if the game play and mechanics is quite outdated. However, I do have to warn those who wish to play this game, be prepared to jump through some hoops to get Syberia running on any computer newer than 2010. It is quite frustrating having to search for all of the settings you will have to change just to get past the initial loading screen. If you can get the game up and running though it is a fantastic quick play puzzle game that can probably be finished in under 12 hours of game time.

Ah Syberia, the point-and-click graphic adventure game which came out right after the golden age of the genre: it has an unique style and even today can be enjoyed if you don't have too high expectations.


Story (minor spoilers):
You play as Kate Walker, a lawyer sent to the small fictional European city of Valadilène to conclude the takeover of the local automatons factory but, when you arrive, you find out that the seller has sadly passed away and now you have to hunt down her long believed dead brother, Hans, by going on a journey visiting the places where he left a mark in his life.


Visuals and audio:
Syberia uses pre-rendered fixed backgrounds with real-time 3d characters, sadly this version of the game has not been updated to support high resolutions and wide screen monitors meaning that if you don't use external tools, you'll have to play with a very pixellated and widen picture which really ruins the look and feel of the game. But if you use an external tool to override the game's default render then you will be able to enjoy the still very good looking environments and have the 3d characters look as pretty as they should be.

Musically speaking it's a bit repetitive with the main theme playing every time you to something important to move along the story but, beside that, the audio is great and even the voice acting (in Italian at least) are pretty good, especially for the time.


Gameplay:
Games of this genre usually offer some kind of interactions menu to allow the player to talk to people, inspect, take or use items, but in Syberia things are a bit different: the cursor will automatically change in context with what it's on, if it's a person it will change to a speech balloon, if it's an item you should take with you it becomes a hand and so on. That's not a bad idea but, maybe it's because it was one of the first games to use this mechanic or because the whole world is pre-rendered, the interactions with the environment and characters are really few, you can't inspect anything except those few areas or things you need to go on with the adventure... because of this, the game feel kind of empty, like a part is missing. Still, you have an inventory where you store useful items and documents, oh and a phone that is only useful once.


In conclusion:
Visual issues a part, Syberia has a great and unique story, many very nice looking environments, good puzzles (many of which are a bit too easy and few a bit too hard) but sadly it feels too empty and the music is repetitive: I would say that it's both a good first encounter with the genre, for new players, and a good adventure for old timers but don't expect a masterpiece.

I still remember the day I first played Syberia like it was yesterday. Since I was 6, Syberia has been my favorite game because of its beautiful story, the fantastic characters, and the challenging puzzles. I have followed Kate's adventure from Valadilene to the amazing Syberia with curiosity and have fallen in love with her and Oscar, which can easily be called my favorite automaton. Having played this game 6 times, I feel like I'm just reading a beautiful book, but every time I re-read it, I find out more and more details and put stuff together. In each little town, you find different individuals with exciting back-stories, which in the end, all connect to the one and only Hans Voralberg. I recommend this game to those who enjoy solving puzzles, reading stories, and learn about mammoths, and I hope everyone who plays this game will have a connection with the fantastic characters.

* The only thing that's annoying about this game is the character Oscar, just as I remember XD.
* The character Kate Walker is well written and interpreted.
* Try it, it's a good way to kill some time.

this game requires a bit of patience, and the voice acting could be better, but honestly this game is worth it for the rich world and storytelling. the rendered backdrops remain stunning even by today's standards.
its puzzles can be challenging at times but not impossible. ive played this game through, quite a few times and it still holds a special place in my heart.

Don’t You Mean Siberia?


No, Syberia is a mythical island said to lie behind a protective ring of icebergs, shrouded in fog, where mammoths are rumoured to survive. It gives its name to this lovely old point and click adventure game, which tells a wondrous story of ingenious mechanisms, ancient myths, exotic faraway lands and family secrets. Our protagonist, young American lawyer Kate Walker, is well characterized by the voice acting and narrative, with a strong spirit and a personality that gradually becomes more endearing as she matures during the tale. She is tasked with securing authorization for the management buyout of a family business but the owner’s death and rumours of a mysterious heir complicate matters. Her investigation takes her on a fantastic adventure but she is regularly grounded by mundane obligations to work and home. So it is that while uncovering the truth about the mysterious Voralberg family, Kate also develops an understanding of herself and what she appreciates in life.

Gameplay


The mechanics of the game are classic point and click adventure – move between locations, find objects, interact with devices. The puzzles are of reasonable difficulty, well thought out and logical. Furthermore, they are well integrated into the narrative and don’t feel tacked on. Some of the navigation points are not obvious, so if you become stuck to the point of consulting a guide/walkthrough, you may well find that there was a location that you did not discover.

Aesthetics


This game was released in 2002, so don’t expect cutting edge graphics: the art was drawn at a resolution of 800x600 but it is beautiful. The sound design is nice, with well done ambient noise, appropriate action sounds, and lovely music. The dialogue vocals are a bit hit or miss, with a couple of odd accents from the supporting cast and the stilted delivery that often accompanies conversations driven by menu selection.

Are We There Yet?


The main complaint levelled at the game is a result of the classic point and click interface and being designed in an age before iPhones, when people weren’t accustomed to constant stimulation: patience is required to wait for Kate to walk across each scene during the inevitable back tracking. She’ll ease your pain by running if you double click, but never on stairs – for such an adventurous woman, Ms Walker takes stairway safety extremely seriously. I didn’t find this intolerably frustrating: the scenes are attractive and I have played adventure games for long enough to have grown accustomed to waiting.

Okay, But What Does It Feel Like?


Syberia feels like a classic adventure game with its strengths being the art design and the way that the narrative unfolds with exploration. It captured the mechanical magic of automatons like Scorcese’s 2011 film Hugo, and it kept me fascinated by blending these marvellous mechanisms with mythical tales, family secrets and corporate intrigue. The story is expansive and captivating, and I was also impressed with how well Kate’s personal development and self-discovery was conveyed – it was quite beautiful.

Conclusion


I found the game engrossing and I look forward to continuing the adventure in the sequel. I strongly recommend it for fans of story driven classic point and click adventure games that don’t mind waiting for the action on screen to unfold, and would be happy for the protagonist to serve as an inspirational example for any young girl gamers.

The puzzles in this game would be tolerable if not for how arbitrary many of them are, the game feels like a chore more than anything.

Generally



Syberia is the first part of a trilogy created by Microids studio.

Gameplay



Syberia is an adventure game in which all we need is a mouse to play. We control a person named Kate Walker - a lawyer from America, whose task is to buy a automatics factory. This game is a typical Point&Click game. There are many puzzles in the game, most of which are quite simple, but there are also more difficult ones.

Sound



The music in the game introduces a really nice and melancholic atmosphere. The creators have also tried to make sounds of the surroundings, such as birds or various machines, which we run during the game.

Graphics



I am amazed that 17 years after the release of this game, it still looks very good. Of course, this is not the level of today's production, it's obvious, but it's certainly equal to many younger productions.

Summary



To sum up, Siberia is an interesting game with an interesting plot, but I have a few problems. The linearity of the game and small, closed locations make the game boring. Besides, the speed of our character's movement leaves a lot to be desired and is annoying.

✔️A fascinating storyline
✔️The graphic design has aged well
✔️Climate music
✔️Simple, interesting puzzles

❌The slow movements of our character
❌Small, closed locations
❌After a while, he can get bored.

Time of completion: 10-12 hours

[b]Rating: 7.5/10

At the time of the release of Syberia it was a marble of excellent graphics, a very well told story and no violence. Today's challenge is to make your computer backwards compatible enough to run it; but when you manage to do this, you can still enjoy the graphics and the story of Kate Walker the lawyer, who juggles love life, family, work and a curiosity that drives her to interesting places and to new discoveries.

It's not a fast game - the cut scenes is annoying with today's standards of open world adventure games. But it still has it's charms.
