What players say
Syberia was one of my childhood games, so I'm definitely biased, but coming back to it still feels special. The atmosphere, music, strange locations, and slow sense of adventure are incredibly memorable. The controls and some puzzles have aged, but the charm is still there. 9/10

An absolute classic of worldbuilding and atmosphere. The art design and the artistic visions are mindblowing, while typical 'adventure game nonsense' like moon logic puzzles or pixel hunt are pretty much nonexistent.
For a game from 2002, I wasn't expecting this to run smoothly without issues, but it did. It felt nostalgic playing this game, reminding me of games that I never finished as a kid. The steampunk setting got me instantly hooked even if there are little things in the gameplay that seem obsolete today. but I won't get in to that. It was an interesting game and I look forward to continuing the series as this game ended...
