Syberia on Nintendo Switch is the same release as the critically acclaimed and fan favorite version from 15 years ago, and it still feels great. Being able to play it at home or on the go without delay is a big plus for this version, and it's made it easier for me to play the game in short and long chunks on my TV and by using the Switch in portable mode. Considering this is a 10-12 hour adventure, having that flexibility is a big plus.
Syberia 3 is a game that looks and feels old, and not in a good way. The game is infested with technical issues like clunky controls, poor animation and mediocre voice acting that take away any amount of fun that could have been present. It is only barely recommended for those die-hard fans of Kate Walker too eager to keep up to date with her latest adventure; and I'm not sure how much of a fandom will be left after this title...
Bottom-line, if you enjoyed the prior Syberia games, you'll enjoy part 3 as well. It offers some fun surprises, and I feel it'll also prove to have some endurance and stick with me. Plot strengths can't override the key technical issues though, so do wait for a needed patch and a sale if you're on the fence.
A game that shows a clear artistic design and a continuity with the first two games of the series, mostly on the puzzles rather than on the narrative side. Still, there are many flaws: the gameplay is pretty clunky, the control system is far from being precise, the game design shows several bad choices. If you loved the series, you may think to buy Syberia 3. Be aware, though: the game is not well-polished.

There'll always be a time and a place for a game like Syberia 3.
A long time coming and rather long in the tooth mechanically, Syberia III can't overcome its lack of polish, technical issues and shoddy script to really live up to its predecessors.
Syberia 3 manages to squander all the series' charm with a low-stakes plot, clunky gameplay, and a number of distracting bugs. It is playable, but severely lacking in entertainment value.
Syberia 3's ample potential for greatness is squandered by an awkward translation, poor design, and a heaping helping of technical issues.
Looking and feeling like a game from a number of years ago, the Youkols may not be the only thing best left to history here.
I actually volunteered to play Syberia 3 after watching the trailers. I even went so far as to play for a few hours on PlayStation 4 to see if the experience would be different. Sadly, it was not. It seemed like a game with such promise and that it would somehow be something more than what it ultimately became. To say that I am disappointed is to understate things greatly. Let’s hope that Microids lets the Syberia IP go, or at least wait a good long while before making another one that is worthy of the first two games because Syberia 3 isn’t it.
After thirteen years, Kate Walker's third adventure is a reminder that not all good things come in threes
Transition to 3D graphics was a bad idea. It's still exceptionally good sequel to Syberia series, but the technical problems of the game, especially its framerate, will discourage a large group of players from playing it.

If this is the final Syberia game, perhaps it's for the best. Pure point-and-click adventure games are becoming rarer and rarer these days, and this entry does nothing to instill confidence in the genre. Between the glaring technical issues, over-the-top antagonists, and even lazy captioning, Syberia 3 is not recommended at its launch price of $39.99. If you absolutely need to complete Kate Walker's story, then perhaps wait until the price comes down, and play an adventure game that got things right, such as King's Quest.
Syberia 3 has been stuck in development hell for seven years, and the final product is a technical shamble that delivers next to no enjoyment, playing as if it needed to be there for three times as long.
Syberia 3 is just flat-out bad – an ugly, buggy, irritating, insulting title that should never have seen the light of day.
Adventure with clever puzzles, that stumbles over stubborn controls, technical quirks and stained graphics.

Syberia on the Nintendo Switch is a reasonable yet inconsistent port of an enchanting genre classic. This is an absorbing, intricate story filled with melancholy, eccentric characters and mystery demands and deserves attention, even if the game shows its age technically in some places and demonstrates a lack of care in the porting process in others. For fans of the genre, or those willing to dive in and forgive some inconsistencies, there's an endearing and worthwhile adventure here.
Despite being a technical disaster, the first hours of Syberia 3 are promising. Unfortunately, the game quickly gets too nostalgic, without finding the courage to complete the renovation process we all expected. A real missed opportunity.

Syberia 3 is another useless sequel to the cult game. Some interesting puzzles and great music can't save the project, filled with scenario holes, crooked mechanics and technical problems. If you want to play classical adventure game, then choose a gorgeous Thimbleweed Park and last year's remake of King's Quest, where everything is done right. Or, alternatively, just buy the first Syberia.
