Upon booting up the game, you’re greeted with a fantastic theme song of borderline epic proportions. Thankfully, not everything is lost in the sound department, as the soundtrack is easily one of the game’s highlights. Most of the puzzles are just the right level of challenge and the story stays interesting throughout. Even the old people sounded way too young for their own sake. If you can get past the hideous graphics and glitches and don't mind using an online guide every now and then, Syberia 3 is actually quite a fun game. Mind you, they’re supposed to be Eastern European, but they all ended up sounding like teenagers from California. Don’t get me wrong, some of the characters are actually well-acted, but a good chunk of them felt like random American people were selected to voice a bunch of characters with their natural voices and accents, and expected to do everything on their first take. Speaking of which, another thing that weirded me out in Syberia 3 was the voice acting. The facial animations are really weird their mouths open and close like they’re characters from the Wallace and Gromit universe, never being in sync with what they’re actually saying. The textures are blurry, devoid of saturation and very stretched, and the framerate is all over the place. I have to say that the art style the developers came up with is actually pretty good, but the game itself looks terrible. I’m at Baranour now and I can’t continue the game, cause I can’t click anything and get further Anyone Press J to jump to the feed.

The main flaw here is the visual department.

It’s like playing a modern game on the lowest graphics settings. Syberia: The World Before is a singleplayer third-person adventure game in the Syberia series.
