While a pre-beta build probably isn't the best way to form opinions, my early look at Paradise was plenty to confirm really all it needed to: it's Syberia with sand. Okay, maybe that's simplifying a little too much, but the Sokalian influence is clearly evident. For those left wanting by the gameplay in previous titles, there may yet be trouble in Paradise, though only the full and finished game will answer that for sure. If you're already a Sokal fan, you can confidently look forward to trading in your youki for a leopard and striking out for the dark continent when the game releases later this month.
