It’s funny that a story set in such a cold setting can ‘warm’ the player with the its level design and artistic direction. I found it very easy to engross myself in the game for hours on end. Colours pop and lighting and particle effects are used to set the mood in a lot of scenes. In fact, I often found myself marvelling at the polygon count of some characters, with perfectly round bald heads and facial features.
#SYBERIA 3 GAME REVIEW FULL#
Every character you meet, no matter their significance to the story, is well-modelled and full of personality. I have to commend the team on their work and attention to detail. Syberia 3’s environments are simply incredible. A game like this needs tight, intuitive controls and the developers nailed this aspect. You’ll be solving puzzles, having conversations with sketchy characters and exploring your surrounding with ease in no time. I had no trouble learning the controls and the learning curve is virtually non-existent.
I like neat touches like these in games because they make the characters feel less robotic and video game-y.Īll the actions and dialogue options are mapped in such a way that you can quickly pick up the way the game works and control Kate’s many actions. I also liked the fact that if you take too long, all characters have fully voiced dialogue commenting on you taking a long time to say something. The game even gives you the option to listen to Kate’s thoughts on the matter if you cannot decide what to answer yourself. Everything you do impacts Kate Walker’s relationship with the characters around her and might have important implications in the way the events of the story will turn out. You might even choose to keep your mouth shut and move along with your adventure. You can choose the questions you want to ask characters and in which order. I really liked the fact that almost every conversation you have has options. You can switch between these modes at any time through the game’s pause menu if you change your mind. A ‘Voyage’ mode, which allows you to enjoy the story and have an easier time going through the game through the use of visual cues and hints and a more challenging ‘Adventure’ mode, which allows you to enjoy the sensations of Syberia 1 and 2 by giving you less hints and making you use your head more. You’re getting a very nice deal with Syberia 3. Another pleasant surprise was the fact that Syberia 3 on Switch also includes the DLC ‘An Automaton with a Plan’, an adventure in which players play as the automaton Oscar, discovering a whole new part of Kate Walker’s journey. If anyone from the Syberia 3 dev team is reading this, thank you.
#SYBERIA 3 GAME REVIEW SERIES#
This impressed me a lot because even in 2018, very few games in long-running series offer something to make it easy for new fans to be introduced to the games. The developers give you the option to view a short video detailing the important events of the first two games in a ‘previously on Syberia’ fashion. While the first two games being released on Switch are remastered versions of older games, Syberia 3 is a whole new game made with the Unity Engine by the talented team at Microids for the latest generation of consoles and PCs.ĭon’t let the fact that this is the third game in the series put you off purchasing it.
