this is a franchise I really want to play

 

[Magic Carpet]

I was wondering who this Dana was in previous trailers. Looks like the game will be set in two time periods.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

To confront the rise of fascism, a young pianist has to take up arms.

Syberia - The World Before releases on PS5 on November 15th!

 

[Elios83]

Seems like a return to form for the series after the misstep with Syberia 3.
I've the 20 years edition already preordered:

Cool, didn't know it was releasing for PS5! Anyone know if it's running at 60 fps?

I replayed 1 and 2 last year. Amazing games. Such a shit 3 was….

 

[Skifi28]

I'd have to finish 3 first, which I've been trying to avoid for a couple of years now.

Just tried the demo. Need to buy it. Loved 1 and 2. Syberia 3 was okay-ish (that soundtrack tho)

you wont regret it , its much better than 3 , the story , atmopshere , characters , puzzles , everything is better , it really feels like you are living in that beautiful steampunk world

Read the title as „Syberia - The World before I launch“ and thought it was some kind of Putin biography

game is great, and i only had a slightest of interest in the franchise before this.
extremely well written, full of feels

 

[TwinB242]

They don't really make adventure games like this anymore so I definitely appreciated this game. It was a very good time.

How approachable is this series for a newcomer?

I've always eyed it since the original but never jumped in - the graphics alone looked incredible at the time and it seemed so mysterious. My experience with point and click adventures is the various "Tales of" series and I just bought Disco Elysium for $10 but haven't started it yet. I see the original Syberia is like $13 on Steam.

 

[Dutchy]

I'm really excited to pick this franchise up. This looks great. As did the little I've seen of Syberia 1 & 2.

Out of curiosity: Why does the third game seem like by far people's least favorite installment?

 

[Elios83]

I've finished and platinumed this game on PS5 and I absolutely recommend it to the fans of the series and adventure games.
The story, artistic direction (RIP Benoit Sokal), music and atmosphere are top notch and a return to the heights of the original games after the missteps in Syberia 3.
Puzzles are also good, in line with the spirit of the series there are many mechanical devices to interact with, they're not super hard but never boring as well.

Syberia 3 was disappointing because it was the first full 3D game in the series and because the team back then probably didn't have enough budget and knowledge of the Unity Engine there were many technical shortcomings.
Main plot was also poor, it introduced some poorly characterized villains and the story ended abruptly. It still had many great puzzles, music and the great artistic direction of B.Sokal so it was not a total failure.

While I loved the first 2 games I imagine they must feel pretty dated nowadays. Can't comment on the 3rd as I decided to skip it once it came out and saw how poor the reception to it was.

But I think The World Before would be a good starting point for most people though. While it does reference the first 2 games the story is mostly self contained so I don't think any newcomers will feel lost or like they're missing something plot wise.
