If you spent a whole game (or two games!) interviewing witnesses and investigating clues, wouldn’t you be a little disappointed if you never got to discover how the crime was committed–or even who done it–in the end?įirst off, I wanna apologize for coming across as though I were trying to force my opinion on you. It made the story like a mystery with no resolution. Maybe not knowing how they got there makes the the story more intriguing.Įxcept in this case, it didn’t.

I liked him, but his sacrifice is for the greater good of feeding Hans’ obsession.” That seemed way out of character for her. And I hated what happened to Oscar, and the way Kate is apparently just like “Oh, well. And how about some sort of closure on Kate’s story–she’s the protagonist, after all! Is she stranded on Syberia now? Is there even food there? I envision the unmade scene that follows the one where Hans rides off into the sunset, where Kate wipes the tears from her eyes, looks around at the barren landscape, and then says “Oh, shit.” I just feel like the game wrote all these checks that it just couldn’t cash in the end. I don’t think it’s pendantic to want to know what happened to the Youkal on Syberia–I mean, a huge chunk of the game is about them, discovering their culture, and the mystery of why the ships stopped coming (which remains a mystery). And that’s essentially all the happens at the end, and I found that disappointing. But I could have told you that was going to happen before I even left Valadilene in the first game. But then when you find it, the game says “Here’s mammoths! Roll credits!” I mean, yeah–Hans gets to see his mammoths.

It’s a game (two games, actually) that creates this elaborate mythic history full of tantalizing holes, and makes you want to find Syberia so that you can fill in all those blanks. The pedantic could being up questions like “who built the railroad there in the first place” but I don’t care. I mean given the suspension of disbelief in a mystical island of mammoths, I thought it wrapped up nicely.
