Syberia 3 Reviews
Syberia 3 means the return of the saga in full. A long wait that's been worth it despite some technical issues.

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.
Some solid puzzles can't rescue what is an otherwise terrible adventure game.
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.

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.

Syberia 3 brings back in a very beautiful way the genre of the graphic adventure. It has some perfomance issues and framedrops, but everyone that loves the genre shouls give it a try.

Syberia 3 is the return of a great saga and, above all, the return of Kate Walker. The story is deep and the puzzles offer some freshness, even if they are not complicated. Artistically it is very beautiful and it is maintained at the level of the previous games. Pity those optimization problems.

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.

Syberia fans really wanted this sequel, but sadly, it's not the conclusion that they deserved. It suffers from a great number of technical flaws and bizzare decisions made by the creators. Nonetheless, Syberia 3 has its qualities and hardcore fans might not be disappointed.

Syberia 3 featured a great lengthy story with an intriguing main character and it was memorable.
We didn't actually need Syberia 3: a senseless tryout for bringing a perfectly closed serie back in the spotlight. Syberia 3, with its mediocre (disappointing) narration and its poor technical design, should have remained Microïds' secret wish.

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.
There'll always be a time and a place for a game like Syberia 3.
Adventure with clever puzzles, that stumbles over stubborn controls, technical quirks and stained graphics.

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.
This game feels like it should've come out over a decade ago, and even then, it still wouldn't have been ready for release. Some sprawling mechanical puzzles, an intriguing world, and a solid soundtrack can't save Syberia 3 from its disappointing delivery. Poor writing and even worse voice acting make its humdrum story a chore to chew through. With major technical issues in tow along with too much errand-like gameplay, the series should've waved a final goodbye like its protagonist in her last outing.
For a game that relies on character interaction and puzzles to tell its story, Syberia 3 falls well short of being enjoyable and fails to deliver a captivating or impactful experience.
Horrible to control, horrible to listen to, really surprisingly ugly to look at, and and all-round mess, I've no desire to put myself through this. So, I shall state for the record: Maybe it's amazing! I mean, it obviously isn't, because it seems unlikely they'll fire the voice cast and implement a new control system some hours into the game, but I can't assure you they haven't. What I can assure you is I've been here too often, seen this too many times, to put myself through it again.
It is not the worst title on the market, but we would have expected much more.

Having never played the previous two Syberia games, I can only comment on Syberia 3 as a standalone game. I have to say overall it is currently not very polished. It does have two things going for it though, the story and characters adding a great amount of depth to a game which otherwise would fall into obscurity otherwise.
