![]() ![]() Again, if you have played Syberia, recall that every time we spoke to a character in that game, a list of topics would appear, and those topics would stay on the list even after we had covered them. Syberia II also cures a big dialog problem in the first Syberia game. In contrast, the Syberia II locations in Syberia II are practically breathtaking! So natural and so well-depicted. I must confess that, as much as I liked Syberia, I really did not care much for the "metallic look" - of the Voralberg factory, the town of Valadilène itself and, even more so, the abandoned factory in the latter part of the game. In addition to the storyline, the locations are also much more interesting and attractive than those in Syberia. So for that reason itself, the Syberia II storyline comes out as much more interesting - and, yes, coherent - than Syberia. In Syberia II, however, he is there from the very beginning, of course, and the story is tightly wrapped around him, so to speak. Thus, Hans's story kept taking a "back seat" at practically every stop! Maybe the developers had to do it that way because Hans himself did not actually appear until the very end of that story. As we travelled by train in that search, however, we made a few stops and each stop involved side quests that would so dominate that segment of the game that Hans's story would slip in the background as we tried to deal with the side quest's more urgent hurdles. If you have played Syberia, recall that the main "quest" was for the heir, Hans. For one thing, it was a much more interesting and, again in my opinion, coherent story. So let me assure you all right now: that is *not* the case with Syberia II! If anything, in my opinion at least, Syberia II was actually *better* than the original in many ways. In fact, it often seems that the developers are just trying to "milk" the original for all its worth with a sequel that is more or less the same as the original. As most of us well know, whether it is a movie or a game, most sequels tend to be not as good as the original. The fact that it is a sequel, however, might make some people a little wary. So that fact itself makes it very special. It's the kind of game we don't see much of anymore. So there you have it, two classic point and click adventure games completely free to keep right now.Wonderful! I should note at the beginning that Syberia II (like its predecessor, Syberia) is an Adventure game, not a Hidden-Object game. “ Having searched Eastern and Western Europe for a missing heir, Kate Walker finally completed her long and arduous journey, obtaining the signature of Hans Voralberg and closing the automaton factory buyout. “ Join Kate Walker as she travels to remote locations and time periods in this timeless voyage to discover her true destiny.” ( Unfortunately, the only HD trailers out there for the first two Syberia games are for the Nintendo Switch, but expect the same level of quality on the Steam PC versions) Additionally, if you want to continue the adventure, then Syberia 3 also has a massive 85% discount currently until the same time tomorrow. However, the two games are only free to keep for a limited time.īoth Syberia and Syberia 2 are currently free to keep forever on Steam if you claim your copies before 10am PT (1pm ET / 6pm BST) tomorrow, September 29th. Microids has announced a Steam sale on many of their games, and in celebration have also revealed they will be giving away two of their classic point and click games in anticipation for their next big release in the series due out later this year.
