So I am not someone who tends to give negative reviews for games. And, even with this one, there's a lot to like, especially if you're a fan of the world created in the first two Syberia games. The setting is charming, the characters are quirky, the artstyle is delightful, and the soundtrack is beautiful. If you're already invested in the series, it may be worth playing anyway.

The (main) problem is the controls. Syberia 3 uses a fixed camera setup, but, unlike most fixed camera games, it doesn't actually set up shots to frame what's important. Instead, cameras are located at seemingly random points throughout the environment, and follow you as you move. This constantly leads to circumstances where you can't see what's around you. Is there a door right in front of you? There's no way to know without mashing Kate's face against the side of the screen to see if the camera moves. Is there an essential object just out of frame? Better barge around in circles in hopes of revealing it. I had to use a walkthrough to get through this game, and every time I got stuck it was because there was somewhere I needed to go or look that the camera was obscuring. Worse, the click-to-move setup means that once the camera DOES change, the input swaps, and you immediately charge right back the way you came. Sometimes it even clicks through walls, sending you sprinting out of rooms to a point halfway across the map. And this is a fully 3D game that came out in 2017, so there's no excuse to not just give the player control over the camera.

Again, if you loved the first two Syberia games, you might get something out of slogging through this one. If you're just looking for an adventure game to spend some time with, probably give this one a pass.

Probably one of the worst games I played in the last 20 years. It reminded me of the first generation of clunky 3D games from the 90's.
The story is absurd and full with clichéd characters: the alcoholic captain in search of redemption, the sadistic doctor, the evil colonel with an eye patch etc. The voices are terrible and do not match the characters at all. The story themes are not really what I expected or wanted from a Syberia game: nuclear disaster, psychiatric prisons etc.
The controls are painful, with Kate bumping all the time in the environment and moving bizarrely. I used a combination of controller and mouse to get through it.
The graphics are uninspired, with ugly characters and a generally dirty, brown aspect.
Finally, the bugs! Multiple times the camera separated from the character and I had to blindly navigate until it reset the view. In the roller coaster puzzle the train can stop before the platform and Kate will fall down under the tracks; there’s no way of getting out, so you are forced to reload the game.
There are only two positive things I can say about this game. First, the game never crashed. Secondly, the main theme by Inon Zur is quite good.
