    As a lover of the Syberia franchise, I was stunned by the graphical quality of Syberia The World Before. The narrative aspect and the visual are so on point that it brought me to tears in some places, that are full of emotion. I could not recommend more.

    The fourth part of the series for the consoles is really good. Fans are presented with a really good spin-off. The storyline of "Syberia: The World Before" is convincing, and the puzzles are too easy in places, but rather unfair and difficult in the second half of the game. However, with the graphics and sound you get a great experience. The new Syberia: The World Before 20 Years LimitedThe fourth part of the series for the consoles is really good.

    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.
