It's true, Collector, and I agree with you on The Longest Journey's perception. Syberia, though, came a little later, when there were some titles (when TLJ was released, there was almost no other release), but mediocre. And playing Syberia I clearly perceived that the game had nothing to share with those mediocre titles; at least in my perception, it is, even nowadays, closer to the great classic than to the average, dull games which we unfortunately have in abundance.
