6/24/2023 0 Comments Syberia 3 game review![]() ![]() While Sharon Mann does a fine job reprising her role as Kate Walker, many of the side characters are poorly voiced in what seems to be a very small group of voice actors. The performance of Syberia 3’s voice cast can also be called into question. In one particular sequence, I also found a recurring game-breaking glitch and level geometry that simply wouldn’t load. Framerate dips are pretty much constant regardless of what’s happening on-screen, character animations also have a tendency to bug out and lip syncing is pretty bad. ![]() Having made the transition to full 3D with Unity, Syberia 3 suffers from a litany of performance issues, at least on consoles. Syberia 3 lacks that same essence of discovery, becoming somewhat of a scavenger hunt at times as players yo-yo between areas they’ve already spent minutes searching. One of the things I love most about early adventure games (including the original Syberia) is stumbling upon items, only to discover their purpose as the game unfolds. Certain key objects will only appear in the environment once a certain story event has been triggered, creating an uneasy sense of linearity. Backtracking is another pressing issue, and one that highlights some poor level design. Having a large play area and some tricky camera angles doesn’t exactly help, either. These objects are usually well hidden and fairly inconspicuous unless you know exactly what you’re looking for. Quite often the game will need you to find certain objects strewn about the environment. It may sound trivial, but forcing players to make certain gestures with the mouse or controller’s analogue stick make the puzzles that little bit more immersive, as if you’re actually fiddling with the parts of an actual machine.Įlsewhere, however, Syberia 3 continues the exhausting trends of its forebears. and the way players go about solving certain puzzles also has a greater sense of interactivity that goes beyond simply clicking on different points of interest. Interactions between characters are generally more engaging and cinematic with fully animated cutscenes and the occasional choice in how Kate responds in conversations. While Microids has clearly been taking notes, Syberia 3 hasn’t adapted well to these sweeping trends. Championed by Telltale Games, they became more streamlined in a way, focusing more on narrative depth and flow as opposed to clever puzzle solving. Accompanied by a robot named Oscar, she fulfilled inventor Hans Voralberg's dream, searching for the last mammoths all the way on the legendary island of Syberia.Having been missing in action since 2004, Syberia was left on the sidelines as the point and click adventure genre underwent somewhat of a mini renaissance. Plunged into the heart of a world inhabited by a cast of interesting characters, you'll discover and experience a fabulous tale as imagined by Benoit Sokal.Ī lawyer in NYC, Kate Walker was sent to Europe on a simple mission that gradually transformed into personal quest, an adventure that led her on a voyage aboard a locomotive bound for the reaches of the Europe. The next generation in adventure games, Syberia 3 takes you inside an enchanting, mysterious universe full of life for you to explore in 3D. Stuck in Valsembor village, together they must find a way to continue their journey in a race against their enemies and unexpected obstacles, not to mention Kate's past, which catches up with her. After abandoning the island, Kate is found dying on the edge of a river by the Youkole tribe, a nomadic people migrating with their snow ostriches. Aside from Funcoms The Longest Journey, there just hasnt been many adventure games to get excited about lately. The limitless imagination of Benoît Sokal continues in Syberia 3, focusing on an entirely new adventure. Syberia II comes to us during an irrefutable slump in the adventure game genre. Syberia 3 - Deluxe Edition includes: Base game, Soundtrack, The first 20 pages of the comic book digital and 1 Wallpaper ![]()
