Syberia 3: The Complete Journey

I am enjoying the story, but frequently my mouse cursor disappears and I have to fiddle with other keyboard options like Inventory or enter to get it back. The dots to interact with people/things tend to disappear once I change camera angles or hover the mouse over them. Lastly, all the text in the game was not converted to English, so I can not read labels, signs nor the book that I have on the people. I am barely a few scenes into the game and I am very frustrated with it. I previously had the game for PS and thought it was just a console issue, but I am having issues here on PC as well. It's doubtful I will ever finish the story with all the complications I have faced just to get this far.

Camera angles, story and puzzles I've ever seen. The whole game is so bland.

I'm reluctant to write something so negative because I've previously worked in a games studio and appreciate the immense amount of effort that goes into creating a game under pressure from deadlines etc, but dear lord. I recently played 1 & 2 for the nostalgia and got lured into three, assuming it would a similar dose of the same. Sadly it couldn't be more different if it tried. I lost my mind running in circles as the conversion to 3D has made the controls AWFUL (on laptop with track pad). Every time the camera changes, the directional controls switch direction and drive you bananas. Who's idea was it to make the action highlight symbol a small white dot that resembles snow... in a game where it REGULAR SNOWS!? *breaths* The script and voice acting is dire and often stock American, being completely innapropriate for pretty much every character in the game. At one point it used blatant AI, but janky AI from 2017 with zero intonation. I spent the majority of the game feeling uncomfortable becuase I couldn't work out how racist it was. Half the "puzzles" were Kate just straight up being a criminal. Whats with all the stealing stuff from boxes and breaking windows!? And if I didn't play the entire thing with a walkthrough (because I'll be damned if I'm exploring this clunky game at normal speed) some of the puzzles were so abstract you just plain wouldn't solve them. At least they preserved one element of the previous games. Endlessly running around MASSIVE playable areas, with very very few puzzles. Oh wait. That was a nightmare too. *breaths* OK. I've got that all out of my system. I appreciate there were huge delays to the release of this thing and I can only imagine how stressful it was for those who worked on it, but the result is SUCH a shame. *takes a deep breath because I know I'm still going to play the next one*

Played 1 and 2 long time before, but could not have them on Mac. I love everything from music to plot, it is easier to navigate, sometimes stuck with order of actions.

This game really doesnt deserve the low scores it gets
