It didn’t help matters that many of the game’s key NPCs lived on opposite ends of the map, which required a lot of needless backtracking. The pacing in the opening moments left much to be desired, however, as the puzzle solutions weren’t always clear and often required exhausting conversations with certain NPCs in order to trigger the next event. There’s always plenty of lore to be had for anyone willing to engage in small talk. We’re also introduced to a shady pair of brothers clearly up to no good, a one-legged former soldier living out the rest of his days as a general store merchant, and an orphaned girl forced to live alone in the slums because classism is a thing. Syberia 2 begins with a routine recharge at a local train station, where Hans falls ill and crafty Kate has to find a way around a monastery’s archaic, sexist rules in order for the monks to save his life. Why not, right? Her fiance cheated on her with a mutual friend, her boss was becoming a verbally abusive prick, and, for the first time in her life, Kate truly felt alive (inspired by, of all things, the dreams of a feeble crafter and a talking “robot”). Kate’s new adventure picks up immediately after the events of the first game - she had finally located the elusive tinkerer Hans Voralberg, but instead of going through with his toy factory’s takeover, Kate abandons her mission and accompanies the aging Hans on his bucket list journey to find the mythical island of Syberia. However, it presents more interesting and varied locations and dances around topics like religion, poverty, and sexism, so in that regard, Syberia 2 is a bit more daring than its predecessor.
SYBERIA II WALKTHRU FULL
Syberia captured a steampunk, automaton-filled world full of colorful characters and memorable locales, and concluded in such a great way that I wasted no time diving into the 2004 sequel.Īlthough the games are separated by two years, they look and feel identical - the pre-rendered backdrops, character models, menus, and gameplay make Syberia 2 feel like a 2nd episode more than a sequel. I was totally engrossed in Kate Walker’s evolution from a New York lawyer in a small French village to a woman trading the life she once wanted for the mere chance of adventure. The 2002 adventure classic Syberia was a pleasant surprise when I played through it for the first time a few weeks ago. Of course, if you’d rather watch the story unfold, Christopher Odd has an awesome Let’s Play of both games over at his YouTube channel. If you’d like to play the first two games on your own, you can pick them up as a bundle on Steam for $2.99 during the Summer Sale until July 5th.
