Hello everyone and welcome to The Complete Syberia Retrospective. This is a compilation of my previous videos on Benoit Sokal’s gaming masterpiece. In this extended (3 hours plus) video essay. I will talk about each entry in the series, covering its story (lots of spoilers), characters, setting and the incredible art direction that really made this series one of a kind.
I will cover the incredible highs of the first two games and the most recent “Syberia The World Before” and the lows of the much troubled Syberia 3. So let's join New York Lawyer Kate Walker as she sets off on an adventure to the edge of the world and encounters ancient tribes, clockwork automatons and even the last surviving mammoths in a one of a kind adventure series that has captured the hearts and imaginations of so many and left an incredible legacy for its now departed creator.
