Syberia II

Syberia 2 comeca justamente onde o primeiro termina, mostrando nao só o crescimento continuo da maturidade e desapego material de Kate Walker, mas tambem nos mostrando o inicio de sua mais nova jornada. Ao lado de Hans Voralberg, Kate decide o auxilia-lo a perseguir seu sonho de ver mamutes na Syberia, porem esta jornada nao sera nada facil, pois as poucas cidades remanescentes do norte da Russia mostram de fato o quao dificil é a vida nesses locais inospitos. Ao inves do bom e velho problema de dar corda no trem a cada estacao, aqui trocamos isto para problemas mais graves, tais como, bandidos, monges tiranos e até mesmo uma visita ao passado. Prepare seu coracao para ser tocado e o lenco de papel para as lagrimas, pois Syberia 2 apesar de ser um game point n click, é um game com uma carga emocional gigantesca

Pretty much the same issues as the first game but differently weighted. While the movement is slightly better, its reliance on it is even worse. A lot more back and forth in admittedly more interesting scenes. You'd think this would make the game slightly better, but no. The entire beginning is a detour from the story unraveling. There's an annoying and ugly seal-dog that you have to deal with and the puzzles are much worse. There's a climbing sequence that is turned into a puzzle without any visual cues. They made the game look slightly better but feel even worse. It's so persistent on wasting your time that I don't know how people find it enjoyable.

Мой любимый квест детства!

[b] "Who's the Most Annoying" is another blanket in a cold winter day that made the choice to do a contest against the first game in the series on which of them has the most annoying progression and characters. Hands down, Hans beats Oscar. I thought that robot was annoying. Boy, was I wrong. Hans is a childrish little prick that needs a good slapping. Grow the F up! But yet, I enjoy the atmosphere so much that it pulls me to finish the game despite wishing slow painful death on some of the people in it... From Wimp to Keen - No one is more wimpy than Hans. [/b]

남이 정해준 현실의 궤도를 벗어나 스스로 선택한 낭만을 향해 나아가는 케이트 워커의 두 번째 이야기. 한 노인의 헛소리로 치부될 수 있는 꿈이 순백의 동토 끝에 마침내 현실로 펼쳐진다. 1편과 마찬가지로 템포가 느린 낡은 게임이므로 공략은 필수.

No alcaza la genialidad del primero pero su historia sigue siendo buena, los personajes tampoco son tan buenos como el primero pero su final es lo mejor, siendo agridulce en mi humilde opinión, tanto como para sacarte una lagrimita :,)

I adored the whimsical atmosphere of the first game and how the automatons were these outlandish yet familiar creations spread all across your journey, and Kate Walker, a straight-cut lawyer who finds a sense of adventure. With the cliff hanger ending, I believed that Syberia 2 would simply be continuing that storyline thread and tell an even more interesting story, but unfortunately it doesn't. Syberia 2 has the same backtracking, annoying puzzles, and slow movement the first game has, but somehow it felt more annoying to me this time. Despite this, the art is still beautiful, and getting on the train is still a magical experience but for some reason the game just tosses out what Syberia 1 established? [spoiler] Hans is a weird old man whose motives and history you never fully learn despite sharing a journey with him. Oscar is even more useless and this time it isn't funny. The villains are stupid. The journey has a boring loop of arrive->issue->solve->actually here's another issue->leave on train. Kate's old employers are somehow some shady organization that acts as secondary antagonists and sends someone who is supposed to be chasing her, yet Kate never finds out so there's no sense of "we're running out of time and have to escape this man" and it's all just time-wasting FMVs to divide the story into chapters. And worse of all, Kate loses all agency! She's just on this journey because Hans, and not to learn and grow as her own person, and never really learns WHY Hans wants to go to Syberia beyond "Mammoths."[/spoiler] I genuinely don't understand why the quality of storytelling takes such a nosedive but it's actually so disappointing. I'd rate this a 4/10 when the first was a sold 7 or 8/10.
