Game Review - Syberia
Title: Syberia
Genre: Adventure
Platform: XBox
Complete: Yes
Price Paid: $7.99 - 10% (Used)
Would Pay: $19.99
I've been on an adventure kick lately, the past three or four games I've bought on the XBox have all been adventures.
This is much closer to the classic adventure than Dreamfall. This is both good and bad. It was nice solving puzzles and wandering the environment. However, the pacing of the story suffered for it. This didn't reach out and grab me like Dreamfall did. They tried to make the game more real, with the character getting cell calls that were mostly unrelated to the main story. It didn't work very well, being more annoying than anything else.
It took the main character far too long to become assertive. I would've pounded Oscar's head in long before she decided to stand up to him. God, he was an annoying twit.
The ending of the game was rather sudden. I expected to have to get the train through a few more stations before endgame. Instead, the person I'm looking for just decides to show up, game over.
Finally! Caught up in these reviews.
