User Reviews
I would like to choose not recommended. But I like Syberia games and sound track is so beatiful....
Therefore, I recommend game only for Syberia's fans.
The story is poor. You cant skip dialog. And management is so glitchy and irritating that I cant see how developers can miss it in test phase. Also the game has very bad optimisation.
Buy the game at a discount, play it and forget about it
I've enjoyed all the Syberia games so much that I'm sad when I finish an episode.
good game
dieses Spiel ist voll Bugs, und die Steuerung per Maus sehr schlecht, habe es nicht zu Ende gespiel.
Great story line and puzzle solving.
