Syberia - Remastered

Warning - This game requires a very high end processor which i thought mine would run but it won't. I tried all the work arounds but to no avail. I played the previous ones no problem. Very disappointed.

This feels like someone has show the original game to a AI and asked it to create a automated remaster (including the standard AI spelling mistakes) Doesn't have an inch of the original charm. Spend your money on something else.

Love the scenery with swaying trees and blowing mists. The graphics are much improved - except the cut scenes are the same ones used in the original game, and lack detail. Certain puzzles have been altered a bit, but don't cause any real problems. If you are looking for a widescreen version with better graphics, this is it. Same story, same characters, same dialog. You should feel right at home.

I've been meaning to write this review for ages now - After reading countless reviews, replaying the game, awaiting patches and everything... Well...I'm a bit numb regarding this 'remaster'. First of all and let's get the elephant out of the room... the cutscenes should have been rerendered.. I really REALLY don't get the reason behind the cutscenes remaining as IS (the official reason was that the cutscenes carried too much emotional value to be re-rendered . bs :P).. Why then not make it Syberia HD Lol. Everything else that could be remastered has been remastered to be fair, beautiful scenery, expanded 3d enviroments that feel so real you can walk around in them The problem however is who of the E IKates does the player want to follow. Do we want to follow 2002 Kate or 2026 Kate because those are two VERY different women. I do miss the little quirks and 3533 movements that 2002 Kate did and 2026 Kate just flaps her hands around.I get that, in the sake of 333333 continuity, they wanted the The World Before model of Kate, but EGAIN - then commit and make the WHOLE game a remaster with 2026 Kate. This back and forth is keeping us from experiencing the adventure as a complete piece. …

I have mixed feelings about this and I wish there was a neutral / meh Option. On the one hand, I think using what I assume are the original voice files and recreating everything 1:1 without chaning or re-writing a single word is exactly what a Remaster should be doing. You get exactly the same Story and Dialogue, just in a visually nicer package. However, the way many of the Puzzles are dumbed down just makes no sense to me, especially because I can´t say any of them where hard to figure out, maybe just a bit tedious at worst. As far as Point & Click Adventures go, Syberia was IMO always on the more approachable and logical side of things to begin with. But the Puzzles that where added do make sense though and are a welcome addition. What I absolutely can´t understand however is why, if I´m not mistaken, every single one of the original FMV´s was re-used with what looks like AI upscaling applied to them. Having them recreated in-engine just would look and feel much better.

I finished Syberia - Remastered, and as someone who has completed the original game multiple times, I can say that this remaster gave me a new burst of inspiration to play the series again. After diving back into the world of Benoît Sokal, I couldn't help but start playing Syberia II again. I understand that this is a remaster, so I wasn't expecting any new storylines or major surprises. Still, I would have appreciated some more challenging logic puzzles. There was an attempt to introduce one or two new, relatively easy puzzles, but apart from that, there were few surprises. In some cases, the gameplay was even simplified—for example, the console now tells you when Oscar's legs have been produces incorrectly. One disadvantage I have to point out is the handling of the original cutscenes. Most of them seem to have simply been carried over from the original game. I actually have nothing against that -they bring a wonderful spark of nostalgia-as long as the video and audio are synchronized correctly... Unfortunately, in most of them, the video runs slower than the sound, which makes the scenes feel noticeably off. This particularly affected one of my favorite moments in the game: H…
