6.5/10 Syberia is certainly not bad; i looks and sounds good, it also controls fairly well and the story was intersting enough to keep me going.
The game feels, though, a little bit suffocating: it all is unnecessary slow, moody, weighty and vast. maybe it's a cultural thing but the characters and their subsequent dialogues are ( i believe) generally meant to be colourful, quirky and nice-ish but to me it is just offputting and ugh. disliking your lead chaarcter is never a good thing.
the puzzles are ok; fairly well made and a few were fun enough, but Kate has to burglarise and steal everthing in her path because, as a whole, the puzzles and her journey make no sense whatsoever.
I'd recommend you only play this after you allready played the LucasArts PointNClicks, Blade Runner and The Bizarre Adventures of Woodruff and the Schnibble.
