The motivation of the bad guy doesn't seem realistic.It doesn't look any better than the actual gameplay, there are no advanced animations or graphics it even looks worse actually, as it is rendered at low bitrate. There are some cutscenes which are just pre-rendered gameplay.Some graphic elements are not even up to 2010 standards though, apart from character models which are good. This game was initially planned to be released in 2010 instead of 2017.There is only auto-save and you can't go back to previous chapters to hunt for achievements. Moving your gamepad joystick can also help bring back the cursor. Mouse cursor randomly disappears and you have to move it around until you hit an interaction point so that it reappears.It was just the cumbersome controls preventing me from doing it smoothly. There was one puzzle where I got stuck and after minutes trying to figure it out, I finally looked it up online and turned out I was doing the right thing.My suggestion is to try both K&M and Gamepad and see what works best for you. Sluggish movement, difficulties using the stairs and sometimes small invisible walls are getting in your way. However, here I preferred to just stay on the objective due to the cumbersome controls. I'm the type of gamer that likes to explore everything, talk to everyone, see every corner of the map.Solving puzzles is rewarding (a tip from me: when stuck, usually you can find most clues in the same room, just remember you can also move the camera around).Some funny moments can be found throughout the story.They kept the original voice actress for Kate Walker.The Syberia atmosphere is still there.

Overall, the journey is really enjoyable.

For me this is enough to compensate for any drawbacks. Despite the technical issues, the game got me pretty hooked and I almost finished it in one sitting. Remember how most 2D adventure classics failed miserably when they decided to move to 3D during the mid-2000s? Well, this is similar to what Remember how most 2D adventure classics failed miserably when they decided to move to 3D during the mid-2000s? Well, this is similar to what happened with Syberia 3, only that it was 2017. A couple of technical issues are there, but they have not made me enjoy this game any less.

Overall though, this game feels like a Syberia game, and gets the tone right. If you find an item, sometimes you cannot get it until someone points it out to you. The only criticism I would say is at the beginning, the game sets you down a narrow path. The puzzles are similar to the previous games, if not slightly easier (which is welcome to me, as I found the previous games pretty difficult). I've already experienced some plot-twists I've never saw coming, and I feel that the pacing is quite good. The story does a great job at continuing the adventure: and adventure there is. Puzzles and story is where this game really shines. The graphics aren't any different to the trailers, so you can probably make judgement based on that. Some parts definitely look better than others, and I actually prefer the in-engine cutscenes to the pre-rendered ones. I personally think that the graphics are quite nice, however, that could be subjective. I guess you could say it's slightly clunky, but it works. Don't get me wrong: this is still a point-&-click, but movement is controlled using the arrow keys. About controls: they have changed since the first game. However, she has the Yukals on her side on her journey. She's on the run after not returning the contract for the Voralburg factory, with accusations of embezzlement.

The game follows Kate Walker, after being ditched by Voralburg. Before playing it, I thought it would be another tacked-on sequel, with no new ideas or personality. I had my expectations set low, as I didn't really know how this game would turn out. So, I've probably played a good chunk of this game now. The story is compelling, the puzzles are creative, and it just gives me that same feeling that the previous Syberia games gave me.
