Syberia 3: The Complete Journey

I didn't expect the same game as Syberia I or II as the times are changing, but these are my findings about this game: - first of all, the game graphics and music are really great and surprising - story not bad at all, however weaker than in Syberia I or II, but with combination of the game graphics quite immersive - very annoying camera, controls and character movement, you don't see where you can go, the camera is switching very weird way - quite bad inventory usage, don't expect click and drag behavior, Interaction with objects is sometimes buggy - the cursor disappears or ignores clicks. - very often long loading times (with just a black screen) even after you enter any door or another room - Dialogues cannot be skipped, - No way to save the game, only automatically on game decided checkpoints - interesting logical puzzles, but killed by poor controls : it is very hard to complete some actions with your mouse - specially when you need to drag/switch some levers, gears, or turn a wheel etc. - you try to turn but your mouse is already on the top corner of the screen and the wheel is not turning at all - some nonlogical elements in the game - e.g. in a big storm on the water the monster is attracted by a small gramophone placed on a boat :D I don't think during the storm anything else can be hear - some puzzles are really overkill, maybe just to increase the gameplay time The game has not the magic game feeling from Syberia I. or II., however the gameplay is longer, graphics are amazing and despite all the above mentioned points, I think it is worth to play.

Look, the game is a little rough at times, but the developers have provided patches. The latest patch available on GOG is 1.57, while the latest on Steam is 2.2. The latter fixed quite some issues, one of which blocks progression! Safe yourself some frustrations and buy the Steam version!

I upgraded my mom's old PC specifically to play this game. In hindsight: get something better than a GT1030, which is not a bad card, just not enough to play this game at high graphics settings. No, my 2 star review isn't because of that, but because of the stupid game-breaking bugs. My mom is 71 y/o and she has already completed Syberia 1 and 2, and has been waiting for years to play this one. However, she's encountered the bug at Baranour that doesn't allow you to continue. You can't do anything at all, it's like a softlock. How old is this game already? Why hasn't Microids fixed this in 7 years since their last update? Now what? Do we have to look in third-party websites for a game save that hopefully solves this?

I adore the Syberia series and 1 and 2 are easily some of my favorite adventure games; right up there with Myst and Riven. But this one is such a deep disappointment. The writing is frustratingly and laughably written. Conversations are awkward, stilted and use way to much "tell don't show" which is excruciating at times - especially when you can't even skip the poor dialgue to just move the game along. The graphics are lovely and the music is wonderful - but those are the only two aspects worthy of praise. The story overall is trite, inconsequensial and bordering on being a waste of your time. It feels almost as if the devs of this game didn't really understand the Syberia world and mythos and just painting something they had with Syberia-like paint scheme. It was a dollar, but I still can't finish this game. Moving on.

this game is full of bugs, awful control scheme (use a gamepad). But the ending made me so angry.
