It's hard to resist the world of Benoît Sokal's Syberia: The World Before. With its sweeping vistas, well designed machinery and unique charm, it's a visual joy. This joy is backed up with sublime music and an irresistible dialogue and story that uses ample sarcasm. This, possibly last, entry to the series is a love letter to all that came before and...
Fans of the series will be disappointed that Syberia: The World Before strays far from what was great. It should have been like Tintin, but it’s more like a made-for-TV Lifetime movie. The visuals look awesome but the gameplay and story are vulgar steps backward in the worst ways.
Syberia The World Before is a beautiful conclusion to the saga of Benoît Sokal.
Syberia returns to the right track with a new adventure that convinces, with two timelines and the usual gameplay with some novelties, nothing revolutionary. If you like the genre and the saga, you have all the ballots to get hooked in a big way.
Syberia: The World Before is a solid return to form for the series, with strong and inventive puzzles and an engaging story.
