I just started playing Syberia again, I played it when it first came out in 2002 (?). I loved it then and I still love it now. The concept, storyline, artwork and visuals (especially), voiceovers, music, atmosphere... I think they're all excellent and the whole ends up greater than the sum of the parts for me. When I play a game like this I like to get lost in its world, feel like I'm there and walking through it. I like to take my time and get immersed, enjoy it, without racing to complete it. Syberia is that for me. In the game there are a number of different "worlds" within that world you must navigate through. I enjoyed them all and they were all unique. I thought it was challenging and complex enough for evening escapes, with a great plot arc that kept me interested, curious, and engaged throughout the game. Like peeling back the layers of an onion. It isn't just a bunch of puzzles to be solved, that's only the half of it. I think it's a great and imaginative story. It's interesting to read some of the other reviews here and the shortcomings some people experienced. Everyone has different likes, so read through the reviews, see what resonates with what you're looking for.
