I played Syberia 1,2 and 3 before and I really liked them.
So I was really happy when I heard of the 4th game.

And I must say, i was not disappointed.

Still, this game wasn't perfect, no game is anyway.


Story was good, not great but it entertained me.
The WWII side theme never gets old it seems.

Some twists in the game were not that surprising, but came out pretty good.

The puzzles are kinda moderate, I haven't used the ingame help button.
I wish they would have been a bit harder here and there.

The scenery looks great, the Steampunk theme is well implemented as on all previous games.
The character model are a bit out of date for these days, mostly stiff hair, except for a ponytail.

What I really missed was combining items in your inventory.
Also the inventory at all didn't had the good old feeling of complete mess with useless stuff you find,
on side with trying the useless stuff on everything and receiving funny reactions.

When you play with gamepad you may can't reach a handful of investigation points,
so you have to switch to mouse on these. But that's not a big problem.


On my playtrough I missed only one side task, annoys me a bit. xD

To receive all achievements you have to start the game at least twice,
cause of one decision in the early mid-game, but you don't need to finish it then.

My playtime was around 14-16 hours, doing everything.
Replay would be only worth to see how some other decisions change the conversations.


And last but not least...
The "ending"... well, if you know the previous games, then you know what I mean.


Good Game, next please.
