2/2

First game was decent, maybe "good". This sequel is, IMO, unplayable (and I do like adventure games; they're my favourite genre). I really don't get the acclaim for this one.

The very first game set in this universe, Amerzone - though not part of the Syberia storyline - is one of my faves. Especially the modern remaster. Play that instead.

#HotTake on #VideoGames: I agree that we should stop calling #AdventureGames that lean heavily into their ability-gaining elements #Metroidvania games. The name implies similarities to #Metroid and #Castlevania that might not be there, and also that they invented elements which were also in the original #Zelda, #Adventure, and many other 80s adventure games.

Generally speaking, gaining abilities to access new areas is one of those true-to-life elements. It'd be like calling every arcade racing game an "F-Zero clone" or every First Person Shooter a "Doom Clone" when even Wolfenstein was far from the original FPS.

A sample of the current mappings/reworked glyphs look. I really wish I had access to some better font generation tools to be able to tweak some kerning pairs.

Alright, attempt #3 - this time I *actually* fixed the audio. I swear, YouTube does something weird to the audio every time.

In this video we check out the creepy/cute adventure game Beacon Pines. There's a Foul Harvest and an abandoned fertilizer plant!

Also, sorry it's been a while. Stuff has been...not going so great irl.
