    While not pushing the genre forward, Syberia continues to develop and expand on its established gameplay loop and continues a story that began 24 years ago. I’m sure that returning franchise fans will enjoy it, and there’s a lot to like here for those who enjoy narrative adventures and interesting puzzles — it might even motivate them to delve into the previous entries and experience the magic from the mind of creator Benoit Sokal.

    Syberia The World Before is a beautiful conclusion to the saga of Benoît Sokal. With a sublime art direction, a captivating universe and an episode that erases all the flaws of the much criticized Syberia 3, Microids delivers a last successful tribute to one of the monuments of point'n click. Its poignant story, its touching heroines, its mastered narration and its satisfying puzzles keep you on the edge of your seat for ten hours. An engaging and exotic adventure that is true a pleasure to play, despite some clumsiness at times. The PS5 and Xbox Series versions inherit some technical flaws and bring some nasty framerate drops that sometimes spoil some nice scenes. A pleasant version to play, despite some clumsiness.

    A lovingly crafted adventure with some delightful clockwork puzzles, but sadly undermined by one particularly clumsy narrative misstep. [Issue#22, p.80]

    Game looks absolutely beautiful on my PC and runs like a dream. Excellent story and gameplay that's fitting to an adventure game. It's like a point and click title of yesteryear but you control and move the character around the environment, searching for clues, talking to people and exploring and discovering the story and world. Puzzles to solve, choices to make and beautiful settings and music. Very,very pleasing video game. A novel come to life    … Full Review »
