Syberia 3: The Complete Journey

- The game is buggy. Mouse pointer and active point disappear from time to time. Though bugs will not prevent your progression. - Controls are awful. You can point and click or use keys to run aroud. Actually you must use both to get to some points. - There is one location where you can lock yourself and stuck having to load saved game to continue. + The game is beautiful and has some spirit of previous parts. + Story line is quite interesting + Puzzles moslty make sense All in all I recommend you try the game, but be ready to have some fight with controls.

I felt very happy when i learned that I could know more about Syberia. I fell in love with this universe 10 years ago and I played most of Sokal's games and enjoyed them very much. The story, the characters, the music and the graphics of Syberia 3 are awesome. But 10 years later, I didn't expect such an excruciating gameplay in 2017. Kate is slow and hard to move, especially when the point of view changes. I quit the game twice while the ice crusher part. The maniability is a pain in the ..., and some of the voices are poorly acted. What a pity for this game that could be a great one. Anyway, i still advice you to try for experiencing the onirism of Syberia.

Well, it´s yes and no. What I mean by this is that "Yes", Syberia 3 is the worst Syberia game ever made and it has a lot of problems, but on the other hand "No", it is not as terrible as you might think. The biggest problem of Syberia 3 is the transition from the beautifully pre-rendered 2D graphics to low-res and low-poly 3D graphics. Due to this the original cold "steely" atmosphere is gone. It´s just a below average looking Unity game that lacks of proper PC graphics settings. There is no AA option and thus the game looks very jagged. Controlling the character in the 3D environment was not handled properly and it´s just a nightmare. When it comes to Syberia 3´s gameplay, the game actually works pretty well here. To be honest, Syberia 3 has one of the best and advanced puzzles in the entire Syberia franchise and it is the most puzzle oriented Syberia from the first three games. What I hate about Syberia 3´s system is the controls reminding of Heavy Rain. You know, when you open a door, unscrew screws or things like that, you have to mimick the real movements of your hand with your mouse. In my opinion such a system does not add anything to gameplay and it servers just like an annyoing gimmick. In addition, controling "this stuff" with a mouse is absolutely terrible. Playing with a controller makes these things better but no, thanks. Story-wise, Syberia 3 feels more like a Syberia spin-off rather than a direct sequel. That´s because Syberia 3 does not care about the previous two games and almost totally forgets Hans, Mamoths and their original goal. When you meet the shaman of the Yukols, the one from Syberia 2, she does not care about your travel to their sacred land. As if it even never happened at all. I guess the sacred land is not as sacred for them as we have been thinking all that time. 3/5 An Automaton with a Plan is the worst DLC ever. Short, almost no gameplay, a very flat story, no puzzles, nothing. 1/5

I played Syberia 1 and 2 and got this one despite the crap reviews. And I played <60 minutes and deleted it after. So - this is a review based on a very short impatient play time. Good- ? The first mini-game puzzle was well made I thought. Bad - ? 1. I don't remember anything about the other games. Why don't they remind players? What is the character's motivation? Where is she and why? (also Who is she?) 2. You see a little boy with a 60 yr old's voice. You see a 60 yr old with a 15 yr old's voice. It's like every voice is wrong. Takes you right out of the game. 3. very annoying movement and UI - this is a 2d game in a 3d engine. Stick to one! 4. the lighting appears to be fully baked instead of a mix. So you go into rooms that's COMPLETELY black and every character is dark. 5. The first main room is circular but it's so difficult to understand depth because of the camera. I'm searching for tiny black doorways! 6. Can't appear to skip dialogue, UI has little topic loading animations. Subtitles scroll in a tiny box instead of appear like every normal subtitle ever (by small readable chunks) Summary: this literally looks like one of those Kickstarter games that raised $5m but was a scam so you get some asset flip garbage.

I haven't finished it because I thought the characters were idiots, and I didn't care about them, or the plot at all. It is Syberia, but running on about 30% on what the first one was, or even the second, even if the controls drove me to the brink of insanity in that one and I hated how the youkohls were portrayed. In this game it was a nice experience just walking around and looking at things. It was very pretty, the soundtrack was beautiful, just like it should be in a Syberia game. I would actually like to have the soundtrack. Like I said, it was beatutiful. So they did a really good job there. But the plot didn't make sense so far I played it. It was cliche. The characters were cliché. And don't get me started on the romance. Sigh. But, three stars because I really liked the experience just walking aournd. It felt superficial, not that immersive at all, but still nice. The scene were the second girl you play as play the piano at the town square in the beginning was amazing, absolutely love it.
