Cyberia

It's EXACTLY as I remember, not better or worse – I suppose it deserves to be called a graphic adventure game with action scenes. The voice acting is cheesy, the 1990s CGI looks hideous and plastic, you probably die a lot and… There's this element of masochism involved in playing Cyberia – take one late puzzle disguised as an action sequence, for instance, where you have to pick the right doors and eliminate enemies in the rooms so you can proceed. Pick a wrong door and you get a video clip of you getting shot in the back. Repeat a couple of times. For some reason, you don't get a save point nearer to it, so you have to rinse and repeat through a different puzzle as well. Or another late FMV shooting sequence with a couple of escaping "blink and you'll miss them" enemies where simply failing to hit 100% will kill you. It's a true difficulty spike with small hit boxes, the 15 FPS video refresh AND the zero tolerance for mistakes. (You can use <enter> a couple of times to zap ones that you managed to miss, though: please remember that!) Masochism. In the end, though, I really love kusoge FMV titles, and this one's one of the more serviceable. Right near the end it even shines. Just be mindful that you'll die a lot like a dog for no good reason other than curiosity. You can basically walk over an oil spill, slip and crack your skull open in the first room of the game. Or right at the start of that hellish action segment I mentioned, you can accidentally blow off your own foot. That's almost Sierra-level player abuse right there.

Игра, которая въелась в память на десятилетия. Сейчас уже играется весьма кандово, но сюжет до сих пор весьма достойный. После нее я стал обожать жанр sci-fi!

Some may call this junk, me, I call it classic!

This game is single-handedly responsible for my need to forever invert y axis in every game. Even after almost 15 years, I still have muscle memory for the Charlie level... and have just discovered that you can press enter if you miss one of the nanites... hundreds of hours of attempts as a kid without this knoweldge, but damnit, beating that level straight was an incredibly thrilling moment and the beginning of my love for gaming. Great atmosphere, wonderful sound design; this was a revolutionary game in 1994, and it's a welcome trip down memory lane. My sincere thanks to the developers for releasing this gem on Steam for everyone to enjoy once again. 5/5

A masterpiece, but second part is still better: they got rid of different scanners(biomass scanner is not used even once in part 1, infrared is used one time), they converted western-style guard shootings into another railshooting sequences, and second one is longer, has more railshooting parts and i think has better graphics. Well, and more character interaction. Still first one has pretty cool plot. Please bring Cyberia 2 to Steam for insta-purchase.

I originally played this on the Sega Saturn when it first came out. I remember how hilarious some of the dialogue and death scenes were. I didn't even know they made a second one until I found it on Steam. Also favorite death is between PissingOff the guy in the plane Hangar and blowing your foot off while powering up Charlie.

Старперам и просто любопытствующим рекомендую. Для тех лет игра была вах. Что бы уберечь зад от возгарания в сценах с пилотированием нажимайте F это отключает инверсию осей.

One of my favorite games from my childhood. So many good memories of playing this on my fathers computer,,,

I played this game on an IBM Aptiva desktop PC back in 95 as a kid. It had a 1 GB harddrive and a 75 MHz Intel CPU. Was one of my first experiences with PC gaming and I think the visuals for this game was ahead of its time.
