Oh, yea - time to play my favorite section of this game. Heck, it is even one of the best parts of any adventure game period.

The only problem I have with the next section is we lose one of the most beloved characters in adventure game history. It was very sad the first time I played this game and it will be sad this time too,

See you all at the Penguins.

I’ve been playing the new part for a few hours now and I have been stuck trying to

get through the drums. I visited every scene, and I possess a fish bone and a slingshot.

Any help would be appreciated. Just give me a small hint, and not the whole solution

A very small hint:

At the drums look up

Also, it was nice to see Boris again. I wonder how is he going to survive alone in the forest. He will spent the rest of his days fishing in the hut I suppose…..

Remember the article in the newspaper?
His space flight didn’t go unnoticed, so I expect that it won’t take long before some men in black suits, will track down his location and “rescue” him.

However I admit that the game’s quality as a whole is steadily declining in my eyes (exactly as I remembered from my first playthrough). I think it is mostly due to the fact that for me the entire “soul” of Syberia, its “magic” if I may say so, was the automatons. Now that the game had switched to a more natural environment I feel it lost much of its magic…

I agree that Syberia 2 is overall not as good as the first game, but this part in the Youkol village imo compensates for that, and is one of the best parts of the series.

     

The two extra days are helping - I’ve reached the fanservice Youkol village.

I didn’t have any trouble with the fishing puzzle, I had read the book excerpt just a few minutes beforehand, and caught the fish on my second try.
The radio puzzle was harder, it took a good amount of trial-and-error to get the frequency (is there an actual logic to it?), and after that it was pretty obvious.

In fact, what gave me the most trouble in this section was the snowy section, because I had missed the second hotspot on the snow mobile. Once I found that, it was a short trip to the village.

I loved how the youki kept popping out its head when you walked between both screens of the train in the forest. It really wants to be in our company.

Oh, and the New York scenes are getting more and more ridiculous. So the law firm is not looking for us for their sake, but for our mother’s. Our mother, who has been in contact with us throughout and should know better than the law firm that it’s not their fault we’re in the snowy void of Siberia but our own decision.
It keeps feeling shoehorned in, and that feeling’s getting worse…

Edit: I just want to add that I loved the music in the forest section.

And that I have a russian doll and a fishbone in my inventory that both seemed like missable/skippable items. Are they needed? And if so, what if I hadn’t picked them up???

     

Yes, the automatons made Syberia 1 a truely amazing game - and yes, now in Syberia 2 we are not getting any of that magic any longer.

However, this adventure feels very different from Syberia 1 and not a rehash - it does stand on its own as an adventure game and for that enjoy I Syberia 2 as much as 1 actually.

I just checked, and I forgot to pick up the fishbone!
I am however fairly certain that I will get a chance to pick up another in this part. As for the doll, I don’t know, but I’m 100% sure that there aren’t any dead ends!

     

Sorry I haven’t been around. BIG computer problems. Am using a cheap laptop that I had to buy just so I had internet access. Definitely plan on finishing the game, but doubt I will be able to do so as part of the AGCPT. Computer is in the shop and will be there for at least a week.

Laptop I’m typing this on really isn’t up to S2-level gaming. Have fun.

     

I think it should be safe to post some extra (spolish) screenshorts from part 3 now:

The forest.

The white owl - Perhaps it has some significance?

Cantin is on the case.

The “Hut”, though to me it looks more like a luxurious summer house than an actual hut.

On my first playthrough I nearly got a heart-attack here.

Doing some fishing - if nothing else we can always feed the Youki.

A fastidious bear

Time for some Indiana Jones-ing

The White Owl - Again!

Boris to the rescue

Talk about one in a million chances, he could have (crash)landed anywhere in Siberia at any given moment, but he just happens to crash right here at the most opportune moment.

Some more Indiana Jones-ing

Why do I get the feeling that a Manhattan detective, might not have been the best choice for this particular job?

Our old friend Boris.

Some trial & error

Some inventive use of an ejector seat My favourite scene from this part of the CPT.
In real life, it would most likely have killed her, but this is not real life.

Safe back on the ground again.

That is why a Manhattan detective is not the best choice for the job!

What a surprise, Oscar is as useful as ever.

Back on the road track again.

A snow hare, one of those small details I love.

End of the line.

Perhaps Oscar will finally be of some use, and actually help Kate instead of just being a constant roadblock!

The white owl, once again.

Yeah, I know I already posted this before, but ...


P.S. Once again sorry for the massive amount of screenshots, but the sheer amount of different scenes in this game, is simply so much larger than in most other adventure games, and they all look beautiful.

I’m sorry to hear that, but I hope that you can still remember enough from your original playthrough to participate in the discussions.
