Only the character models, their movements and the many invisible walls and small glitches crack the otherwise still good looking foundation.Īll that being said, just like the first game, this rerelease is a welcome addition to the Switch’s library, as the game is still very amusable for fans of both adventure and point and click genres thanks to its lovely and enticing environments. For the most part you’ll be looking at a very static environment, ranging from the interior of your train, towns, caverns, icy plains, all designed with care and an eye for detail, making them still very pleasant to look at almost fifteen years after the game’s initial release.

REVIEWS ON SYBERIA II SERIES

This 2004 release follows nearly the same graphical prowess, albeit a bit less blurry and brighter, but it still has the same fixed camera angles that were quite common in adventure series back then. Graphically not much has changed compared to the first version of Syberia, which certainly had its charms for a release more than a decade old. Once again, it’s the atmosphere of the different environments that sometimes outshines the overall story content. Of course you’ll run into enough snags on the way which involve Hans’ health, criminals and other blockades that prevent you from reaching your location in one smooth motion.Įvery interaction and every puzzle slowly reveals the bigger plot, but overall the idea and concept of this one feels a bit simpler than the first part. Sadly, you have no clue where exactly to find the legendary island of Syberia, and you think the entire mammoth theory is hogwash, but still you’re eager to complete this journey with the old man, and it’s clear you are hoping for it to be true.

Now, you’ve given up your career and pretty much the rest of your professional life, to go on an adventure with Hans, to try and fulfill his dream, namely to find mammoths in Syberia. You have found Hans Voralberg, who was presumed dead.

The story in the second installment is quite simple.

We found ourselves in an ever changing colder climate, hoping to fulfill Hans Voralberg’s dream to find Mammoths in Syberia. If you haven’t played the first game yet, it might be best to pick that one up first, as this second installment picks up where the first game left off.

Only slightly more than a month later, the second installment was also rereleased for its debut on the Switch, giving us the chance to play the first two games before digging into the heavily expected release of the newer, third installment, Syberia 3. In November we took a look at the umpteenth rerelease of Syberia, this time on Nintendo’s new handheld-home console combo.
