    Great way to play this game if, like me, you hadn't played it before. Graphics are a little bit enhanced for this port (character models and shadows) and get the job done, but backgrounds are ugly to look at while docked in the TV. In portable mode, the game looks way better and touch screen controls great.
    Story and sound (even voice acting) stays top notch.
    The worst thing? it's price

    Nice relaxing game with original story. Not difficult and complicated. Minus part is logical story segments, character reactions.

    The game may look a bit outdated (although not as much as I expected) but the story is quite interesting and the puzzles are intriguing but not impossible (you can finish the game without any kind of help.

    It’s a good game! I enjoyed the story and ambiance. The visuals are good and the music excellent. Some puzzles where a little vague and confusing , most where pretty easy. The camera-movement issue was awful all the way. In my personal opinion I was annoyed by most of the characters in the story. They where selfish uncooperative people. They just care mainly about their self. Specially theIt’s a good game! I enjoyed the story and ambiance. The visuals are good and the music excellent.

They where selfish uncooperative people. They just care mainly about their self. Specially the robot Oscar, selfish self centered coward jerk. What a prick!! I guess that’s was intentional to contrast the main character’s goodwill. But that doesn’t has anything to do with the quality of the game. Overall the game is pretty good!… Expand

    This game is really enjoyable and relaxing and I recommend it to anyone that's looking for something laid back with an interesting story and puzzle solving.

At times it may feel like you are just playing through a filler, which is probably my only complaint about the game. It also feels a bit unrewarding to finish the game because it feels like the story has barely started. I bought this game in a bundle with the second one so I could just jump into the second game immediately and it felt like a smooth continuation, but I can imagine it feeling unrewarding to finish the first game if you don't already have the second one.    … Expand

    Syberia is the first in a trilogy of puzzle / adventure games. It delivers a Victorian charm backed up with great music and images with a simplistic puzzle-solving approach. Though I'd like to recommend it, the price of the game means that you’re better off looking on other platforms.

    Syberia is a game that is perfect for the winter. It has a nice, roughly, 10 hour story and is not a high action title that makes you have to have quick reflexes to win. There are no guns, fights or scary scenes, just a good adventure with some engrossing puzzles. For me, it was best played in handheld mode on the Switch, not that it was bad in any way when docked, but it just felt better as a mobile game. I am interested in seeing where Kate goes next, which makes this great, as both the sequels are also already on Switch as well.

    Microids has done an excellent job of porting the classic point-and-click adventure to Switch. Kate Walker's epic first adventure in Syberia is every bit as gripping today as it was 15 years ago when originally on PC, and it fits perfectly on Nintendo's system, boding well for the impending releases of Syberia II and Syberia 3. Hopefully this is the first of many point-and-click adventures brought across to Nintendo Switch.
