I enjoyed the Syberia games, although I am not fanatical about them. Paradise was a huge let down in my opinion. The story was weak, the game play lacklustre and the graphics... I thought they were terrible. A few months after playing it, all I can remember is muddy graphics and unclued puzzles strung together in place of a plot.

As far as what to play next, two games I really enjoyed that people don't seem to talk about much are Keepsake and Echo: Secrets of Lost Cavern. Keepsake has you wandering around an abandoned school trying to find out what happened there. It's not big on story, but the environments are beautiful and it's a real pleasure to wander around and solve puzzles. Echo is unusual for it's prehistoric setting, you play a stone age boy who sets off from his tribe to learn the art of cave painting.
