I remember the first two Syberia games for the fairly strong story and the fact that they were good point & click adventures when there seemed to be no others around. That was about thirteen years ago though, and now Syberia 3 has arrived to carry on the story, but is it worth the wait?
I’ll admit I never really invested much time in the Syberia games, and some type of catch-up would have been nice.

It was always going to be a bit of a challenge to bring Sokal’s beautiful artwork into the 3D space, but it would have been hard to imagine how it could have been carried off any worse than this. Lead character Kate Walker shuffles unconvincingly through a game engine that constantly wheezes and groans as if it was running on a system that doesn’t have the power to keep up with it.
That clearly isn’t the case though,...
