Back in 1999, before Benoît Sokal gave us Syberia,
he designed a game based on his own comic strip L'Amerzone.
It was generally well received, and I played it a few years later.
I remember being impressed, the visuals and the environmental
elements being what come to mind.

What we have now is a remake, enhanced and tweaked, and
apart from saying I am still impressed, what follows is based
on playing this as a stand alone experience.

You play an unnamed freelance journalist, tasked by Mondial
Magazine to interview French scientist and explorer Alexandre
Valembois about his career. Living as a recluse in a Brittany
lighthouse for more than 50 years, your letter of instruction states
that despite his unsavoury nature, he remains the only expert on
the little-known Amerzone.

Arriving at the lighthouse, your intended interview soon becomes so much more.

Thanks flotsam (and Drac)! I'm not sure about that part where you might not have 100% completion of the chapters. That kind of thing bugs me. Regarding saves, I am getting used to the fact that most games seem to autosave with only one save. I do not like it but it's not going to keep me from playing a game. However, I am one who likes to make a LOT of save because I don't like having something go wrong, such as hiccups or something.

I played this on the desktop pc Draclvr but I am enjoying the new laptop immensely.
I still need to setup Steam (which really means remembering my password grin) so I can try a game. That is this weekends task

Oh, sure. I just saw the Windows 11 and forgot that you had gone ahead and done the upgrade. That was a sweet laptop you got and I am anxious to hear how that video card handles gaming!

Great review, flotsam. thumbsup I played the game and enjoyed it, then I replayed the chapters, to find the things I missed, now they're all at 100%. yay After playing this one, I tried to replay the original, it didn't last 5 minutes. The remake is so much better. wave
