Most Annoying Game in History

It’s called “Syberia.” It’s lovely to look at. And it’s a pain in the frigging ass to play.

“Syberia” is an adventure game. It opens in a tiny Alpine town, home of the world’s most charming automata. You are a comely and highly professional lass out to close a deal with the automata factory’s owner. But mystery ensues, something about a lady who may be dead or not but in any case used to draw pictures of wooly mammoths in a cave in the forest.

Oh, the mystery ensues alright. It ensues for hour after pointless hour as you ensue your ass off fetching a large and entirely arbitrary set of objects in precisely the right and arbitrary order. Failure to do so means that you will have to traverse the entire freaking landscape yet again. You can run but you can’t just go from A to D without first passing B for the twentieth time and C for the thirtieth. And every time you think you’re at the end of a chapter and the goddamn train is going to leave the goddamn station, the no-longer-charming a-hole of a conductor — an automaton, of course — tells you about some other random hurdle you must jump. And to jump it, you have to go back to D through B and C and don’t forget to give the retarded little Momo character a good thwack on the back of his annoying little head.

Thank goodness for the Universal Hint System. If I have no idea where to get the ink for the stamper for the permit for the ticket for the conductor of the train, UHS will tell me just enough to keep me from going back to the dam where Momo is waiting with another of his long boring stories or to the twisty maze where nothing happens.

This game is so annoying it might actually force me to go read a book.
