    * very poor optimization for ps5, constant graphic lags
    * predictable unexciting plot
    * boring uninteresting quests
    * uncomfortable arrow mouse-like pointer
    * uninteresting side puzzles and activities
    * probably whole game shaped as a movie with temporary joystick simple action (press one, hold another, move something just to move), game tries to involve you into the process but gameplay is very awkward and weak
    * you will get trophies not for achievements, but for nothing, just because you get to the end of chapter    … Expand

    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.

    A world filled with mystery, beauty, and adventure, Microids put plenty of love in care into the game’s themes of history. World Before beautifully combines classic storytelling with the art of world storytelling, not to mention the intertwining tales of two characters from different eras in time. It’s like a book that takes you in many unique directions within the same story and it’s good fun.

    Despite a slow start and some persistent technical issues that are inexcusable, Syberia: The World Before is a fantastic narrative adventure that continues the series in spectacular fashion, and does Benoit Sokal’s legacy proud. It’s not clear where Syberia as a series goes from here now that the Sokal is sadly no longer around to steer the ship, but I have full faith after playing Syberia: The World Before that Microids is more than capable of continuing to deliver more incredible tales in this universe.
