If pulled off correctly, this is an excellent approach to game design that doesn’t overwhelm beginners with new information and assures them that any situation they are in can be gotten out of ( and it forces developers to avoid creating unwinnable situations like the sandpits that Samus can fall into, mentioned in my Metroid review too). So, the world is a lot more structured, and Kate tells audiences that she refuses to leave locations, like the monastery in Romansburg, unless she has done everything there is to do.

I just couldn’t put my finger on it until I compared screenshots and saw the differences in design. This game came out two years after the first and the train interior may look similar enough anyone who waited two years to play this, but I played both titles back to back and constantly felt that something about this one was off.

The results, as it turns out, are a bit mixed. They had to both bring in fresh ideas to further the story, while simultaneously staying close enough to the original to not alienate the now existing fan base. Though many of the first title’s creators came back for this one, like many sequels, the developers of Syberia II ( 2004) were given a difficult task. Kate, however, doesn’t care and is determined to get Hans to his desired destination, a mysterious island far north known as Syberia. Suspecting that she might have lost her mind, her past bosses even send a private investigator, Nick Cantin, to bring her back, even if it is against her will. Only a few weeks have passed since the events of the first game, Syberia ( 2002), and both her former employers from the law firm Marson & Lormont as well as her mother are worried sick about the heroine’s whereabouts.

She is still travelling through the Siberian taiga with Hans Voralberg, genius inventor, and Oscar, his trusty automaton companion. Kate Walker’s journey farther north continues.
