« Syberia: The World Before is a wonderful return to form for Benoît Sokal’s venerable series. Beautiful, engaging, and moving, it’s the strongest chapter in Kate Walker’s journey yet. »

« Syberia: The World Before, is one of those rare masterpieces where the story is just so freaking well written, the soundtrack is perfect, the graphics are stunning and the puzzles inspired. »

« Syberia: The World Before gave me back the sense of wonder I felt, twenty years ago, with the first two episodes and, for this alone, for me it is a big "yes". There are some rather glaring flaws such as the fluctuating quality of 3D models, in particular the characters and some mechanisms when they are shot in the foreground, but nothing that detracts from the impressive narrative work and the extraordinary emotional impact of this adventure, which brings a dramatic story to the stage with great delicacy. There is also a lot of art, both figurative and musical, with a pinch of humor that never hurts. Someone will find it too easy, too guided, but I certainly liked it. »

« Visually wondrous and full of logical, fair puzzles and likable characters, this is a worthy entry in the series, despite a jarring conclusion and some rather poor performance. »

« The World Before is about peaceful and slow self-search, revealing life stories and fighting adversity. The great atmosphere of the first two parts was managed by the developers to replay brilliantly. »

« Truly a return to form for the masterpiece that was, and still is, the Syberia series, with some interesting modifications to the interaction with the environment. The game could use a manual save, but all in all, Syberia: The World Before is a textbook game in the genre. »

« Syberia - The World Before is a captivating story of turmoil in the face of fashism. With compelling characters and fascinating logic puzzles, newcomers and returning players alike will have a blast with this adventure. »

« After the misstep of the third instalment, Syberia: The World Before offers us that warm sense of melancholy and magical realism that the series is known for. If it had a few more challenging puzzles, it could have been the best in the series so far. Thanks for everything Mr. Sokal. »

« Syberia è delle saghe che amo di più, ha toccato un punto basso con il terzo capitolo ma qui si è rialzata alla grande. La storia di Kate è e rimane meravigliosa ma è propro l'intero mondo di benoit sokal che è un idilliaca e malinconica avventura che vi porterà ad amare profondamente kate e i perso **** che incontrerete lungo tutti i vari capitoli dei giochi di syberia, potendo osservare una cura e una profonda passione del autore in tutto ciò che crea dalle ambientazioni, agli automi e poi i puzzle, arrivando fino a questo capitolo che fa della malinconia una nota ancora più forte e intensa e l'ho apprezzata tutta fino al finale, piangendo. Rip Benoit, ci mancherai <3 »

« A wonderful surprise. As an old fan of Syberia franchise this was a great surprise. After the dissapointment that was the 3rd installment i was with low expectations. Luckily i was super wrong. This is a true flawless Syberia experience. A true sequel of the 2 first masterpieces. It looks wonderful, great music performed by Budapest orchestra and not some classic nowadays soundtracks performed by composers at their home. Do not get me worng there is nothing wrong about composers doin their job at home but **** know it grabs you by the neck by its "trueness". Exceptional work at ost and truely wonderful main theme. 10/10. Super nice story that continues previews lore and a promising end for something new. I just do not want to spoil anything. Bravo guys. I greatly enjoyed this. Tip: Don not listen here to these awful reviews. They just do not know the lore. Try it now. »

« I cannot rate it higher than the original syberia, but I find nothing to fault, if you liked the original this is a great entry to the series. The biggest comeback that I know of ( after the awful syberia 3) »

« This game is very beautiful, it looks more like a movie than a game, but I really liked it, the story is captivating, but the game does not have as many puzzles to solve as in Syberia 1 and 2 »

« The game is just amazing! The story is very strong, interesting and **** the game has some graphics issues and needs to be optimised for different configurations.Generally everything is fine and I love it! I already been playing Siberia 1,2,3 and that’s the perfect continuation of the game!Love it!!!! »

« Not a game. Is just a visual novel with some clicks here and there. The gameplay consists in clicking objects already marcked with a circle, so you don't even need to find them, and read the letters or watch the cinematic. Until you click the object that makes you progress. That's all, no puzzles, no searching, no need to think. In between you have long walks, long phylosophical talks and paused cinematics that made me stand like 10min just watching a movie, since I can do any action again. In top of that someone thought adding QTE to a supposed point and click game will work. No QTE are just annoying. »

« Когда я впервые попробовал Syberia: The World Before, это была пиратская версия. Признаюсь честно, не ожидал, что игра настолько затянет. Но чем дальше я погружался в этот удивительный мир, тем больше понимал, что она стоит своих денег. В итоге я приобрел лицензионную копию, чтобы поддержать разработчиков, и это одно из лучших решений, которые я принимал как геймер. Игра оставила сильное впечатление благодаря своей трогательной истории, глубоким персонажам и потрясающей атмосфере. Взаимосвязь между двумя главными героинями — Дана Роуз и Кейт Уокер — раскрыта невероятно тонко, а их путешествия переплетаются в завораживающий сюжет. Визуальная часть игры впечатляет: пейзажи, архитектура и внимание к мелочам буквально оживают на экране. Музыкальное сопровождение от Inon Zur создает незабываемую атмосферу, идеально подчеркивая ключевые моменты игры. Однако игра не лишена недостатков. Порой сюжет кажется затянутым, а некоторые головоломки могли быть чуть более продуманными. Техническая сторона тоже не идеальна: на момент прохождения я столкнулся с парой багов, которые немного портили впечатление. Тем не менее, Syberia: The World Before — это игра с душой. Она возвращает дух классических квестов, добавляя современные элементы, которые делают её уникальной. Для фанатов серии и тех, кто любит глубокие сюжетные игры, это однозначно достойный выбор. Я рад, что смог оценить её по достоинству и поддержать разработчиков, ведь такие проекты заслуживают внимания и уважения. »

« What a story! Met level of the first two parts. Very well written rivets us to monitor. However, camera could be implemented better... »
