Syberia

Too bad there are no neutral Reviews at Steam. I didn't like a lot in this Game and I thought for a long time whether for me the positive points or the negative Points outweigh them. However, a negative Review would not be justified, as I enjoyed the game (mostly anyway) and the Curiosity about the End of this Story would continue to play again and again. Cons:-Due to a Story-related Number of long, too many, wide walkways through mostly (Almost) deserted places-occasionally the Story "hung" and Could only be continued by repeated Dialogue Scenes (and Walkways) several times (was perhaps in Bug – no Idea, bin glad I'm there)-Repeated "I don't have to go there" (either way) for any locked Door or Area that wasn't accessible to the Character-occasional, minor Graphics Errors that didn't hinder the flow of the Game Though-deficient ones Settings (Options) in the Game Leave much to be desired, E.g. graphics solution, full screen mode ja/no-No Quick Storage, no Autosave-Screenshots via key F12 were not possible Positive: + Very beautiful, partly atmospheric Images and Film Sequences + interesting, bizarre, imaginative "Adult" story, interesting Character + Tension builds slowly, makes Curiosity about the End of the Story + the Puzzles are sometimes already quite challenging but usually somehow solvable, for a few But did I need Help (Walkthrough) + The individual Film sequences found in the Game are available via the Menu and can be viewed again and again + Own Scores can be stored and loaded Via the Menu Conclusion: The Pace of the game of "Syberia" is very Slowly, the Story a bit long-winded – but that changes towards the End of the Game. It's just like reading a good Book. The Story is slowly building. With each Dialogue, with each new Discovery, you work your way further into the Story and become more and more curious about how it goes on. The End came unexpectedly quickly, because I would have liked to have had such a small, beautiful Film Sequence at the End. Do I recommend the Game further? Well, only to a limited extent ... Those who like Point & Click Games for whom "Syberia" might be something, but possibly not. I would imagine there are People who would be bored of this Game. For the negative reviews here at Steam I am quite Sympathetic and can partly understand the Reasons. I bought the Game in the Sale and for me the price/performance ratio was also right for money. If you're interested in the Game, it's Best to buy in the Bundle with the second Part, because "Syberia 2" isn't just another Story with the same Characters, but the Sequel to the first Part. If you don't play that, the game ends up virtually "unfinished" for whom the Game ends.
