The PC version of the adventure puzzle game "Puzzles of Seberia: The World Before" will land on Steam, Epic and GOG on March 18, and with the help of publisher French Microids, the video game bus has obtained the official version of the game in advance.
Previously, in the beta version of the first three chapters of the game, the video game bus has written an experience report, and players who have not seen it can click here to browse. It should be added that although it is the beta version of the first three chapters, there are achievements that can be obtained, and there are 5 achievements in the light sequence chapter that can be taken, and the relevant methods will not be discussed here.
2022 marks the 20th anniversary of the series, and as the fourth work in the series and the last legacy of its founder Benot Sokal (Sokal has passed away in 2021 due to illness), The Mystery of Seberia: The World Before is undoubtedly a special work for the series.
As can be seen from the name, this work is a sequel, so the new heroine Dana Roze is also introduced for the first time, her timeline is in 1937, on the eve of the outbreak of World War II, as a Waghan pianist, she and her family were threatened by the "Brown Shadow Society" and had to flee their homeland.
This is also related to What happened to Sokal himself, during World War II, Sokar's family, like many Europeans, had to travel from place to place to seek refuge in order to escape the clutches of the Nazi regime, but as the whole of Europe fell into war, many people could not escape.
After suffering the failure of the three generations of crowdfunding in 2017, the production team spent 5 years familiar with the Unity3D engine, making "The Mystery of Seberia: The World Before" more gorgeous and smooth in terms of performance than the previous game, the details are also full, and the new heroine also makes the series players more fresh.
The scenes in the game are quite well shaped, and the small European town in 1937 exudes art and humanities everywhere. The ancient buildings and exquisite machinery, bathed in the sun, look beautiful, let people can't help but linger in it, go around to see and stroll around, not willing to advance the plot.
The series' unique "clockwork punk" settings, such as the tram driven by the "automatic robot", the exquisite clock and the robot that plays music, also add a magic color to the realistic background, which is also a real and illusory feeling, allowing the player to experience a special mood, which is also the charm of the series.
Disadvantages are also there, first of all, as a 2A image adventure game, the game has a bit high requirements for computer hardware configuration, the video game bus uses 16GB of memory, Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB graphics card of the computer, still does not meet the requirements of the recommended configuration, its scene switching is a bit stuttering, the protagonist walks in the big scene is not hurried, people are anxious.
The Mystery of Seberia: The World Before actually tells a new story that stands for players who haven't played the previous series quickly. With the death of creator Sokal, players can only play and cherish, perhaps this sequel, is the final adventure of Kate Walker.
