An Awesome Sequel

You continue the story right where the first game left off, in the shoes (it's boots actually) of Kate Walker on her way to self-discovery and lifelong fulfillment. She already threw her old way of life out the door with the first title, and now you get to experience the rest and see exactly how it all ends. I vouch, the ending is very satisfactory and does hit you in the feels. Bravo!

The game's also visually more polished, audio is right there with an even better performance than in the first game (Kate's VA manages to outshine her old performance and the actress wonderfully depicts her newfound stoicism, resilience and determination), and this time you get a slew of a few new, outrageously endearing characters: little Malka, col. Emeliov, and a man's/woman's best friend in what seems to be part-bear, part-seal and part-dog animal. YES! You get to pet it and feed it as well, the youki is a 10/10.

The game's only flaw surfaces at one particular point where you are sure to go pixel hunting (for hours perhaps as I did), and it does lead to slight frustration since this was the staple of the P'n'C adventure genre, so take from that what you will.

Remember, before you boot up the game, make sure to read comments/guides from the first game's tab as well as this one, they will point you to the glorious dgVoodoo app that will allow you to play both games just the way you want on a modern rig.
This time I left the AA and TF to app driven, made the resolution 4:3 in 1920x1440p again, and enabled the secret little menu that limits the FPS to 60 (you have to do this step by right clicking on the logo within the app, selecting 'show all sections of the configuration' and then selecting the GeneralExt tab). Or you can do this via the nVidia settings panel, your pick.

In the end, as I ponder whether I should play Syberia 3 or watch a YT playthrough instead (that game's just real bad from what I gather), I think I'll play Syberia 4 at some point. I hear it's different but good.

Farewell and TOOKTOOT!
