![]() While the other tunes in Syberia 3 are nowhere near as epic as the theme song, they still get the job done. Upon booting up the game, you’re greeted with a fantastic theme song of borderline epic proportions. Thankfully, not everything is lost in the sound department, as the soundtrack is easily one of the game’s highlights. Even the old people sounded way too young for their own sake. Mind you, they’re supposed to be Eastern European, but they all ended up sounding like teenagers from California. Don’t get me wrong, some of the characters are actually well-acted, but a good chunk of them felt like random American people were selected to voice a bunch of characters with their natural voices and accents, and expected to do everything on their first take. Speaking of which, another thing that weirded me out in Syberia 3 was the voice acting. Regardless of what camp you find yourself in here, Syberia: The World Before is now upon us and, for the uninitiated, this is the fourth game in the series which began in 2002. The facial animations are really weird their mouths open and close like they’re characters from the Wallace and Gromit universe, never being in sync with what they’re actually saying. The textures are blurry, devoid of saturation and very stretched, and the framerate is all over the place. I have to say that the art style the developers came up with is actually pretty good, but the game itself looks terrible. The main flaw here is the visual department. For a game that relies on character interaction and puzzles to tell its story, Syberia 3 falls well short of being enjoyable and fails to deliver a captivating or impactful experience. A couple of technical issues are there, but they have not made me enjoy this game any less.It’s like playing a modern game on the lowest graphics settings. Overall though, this game feels like a Syberia game, and gets the tone right. If you find an item, sometimes you cannot get it until someone points it out to you. The only criticism I would say is at the beginning, the game sets you down a narrow path. The puzzles are similar to the previous games, if not slightly easier (which is welcome to me, as I found the previous games pretty difficult). ![]() I've already experienced some plot-twists I've never saw coming, and I feel that the pacing is quite good. There are various references to previous characters in fact this game reintroduces some of them but they are explained well enough for a newbie to the. The story does a great job at continuing the adventure: and adventure there is. Puzzles and story is where this game really shines. The graphics aren't any different to the trailers, so you can probably make judgement based on that. Some parts definitely look better than others, and I actually prefer the in-engine cutscenes to the pre-rendered ones. I personally think that the graphics are quite nice, however, that could be subjective. I guess you could say it's slightly clunky, but it works. Don't get me wrong: this is still a point-&-click, but movement is controlled using the arrow keys. About controls: they have changed since the first game. However, she has the Yukals on her side on her journey. She's on the run after not returning the contract for the Voralburg factory, with accusations of embezzlement. The game follows Kate Walker, after being ditched by Voralburg. Before playing it, I thought it would be another tacked-on sequel, with no new ideas or personality. I had my expectations set low, as I didn't really know how this game would turn out. ![]() So, I've probably played a good chunk of this game now. The story is compelling, the puzzles are creative, and it just gives me that same feeling that the previous Syberia games gave me. The story is compelling, the puzzles are creative, and it just gives me that same feeling that the previous TL:DR I'm really liking this game.
