I loved the original "Syberia". It's main character, Kate Walker and her sidekick, Oscar traveled to distant lands, unraveled many puzzles together and I was smitten. "Syberia" has an atmosphere like no other. While comparable to "The Longest Journey" in its spectacular character development, it still surpasses any other game with its unique locations. I originally played "Syberia" long before its highly-anticipated sequel was released and I regret that I could not play them back-to-back. I was longing for many years to revisit my favorite characters and continue the journey that so abruptly ends with a "cliffhanger" at the end of the original game. Now, one can purchase both games and play them continuously and have an extension to the fun factor. Treat the saga like one long game, not two. The games are designed to be played continuously to continue Kate Walker's exploration of intricate scenery and exciting new paths. To date, this is the best character-devoted adventure game I have played. Before the sequel was released, I would have voted "The Longest Journey" as my favorite, but together, "Syberia" and "Syberia II" surpass any other.

I bought this edition in a bargain bin from a retail store. Ordinarily, I shy away from adventure games due to their slow pace, but found this a pleasant surprise. The prerendered backgrounds are lush, there is great atmosphere at every turn, many of the characters you encounter are quirky and amusing, and there's a wistful, melancholy feel to the whole thing from start to finish.

This is the kind of game that is perfect for a quiet winter night and a glass of wine.

The graphics were great, I wish Kate would have been a bit more in depth, but The journey she took was neat, and I loved all the automatons! Great imagination!Syberia Saga Limited Edition (Win)

Scenery changes but the challenges are not very sophisticated. I've seen much older Nintendo games with greater variety of ways to solve situations
