The verdict
A gorgeous, melancholic direct continuation of Syberia with a touching ending, held back by obscure puzzles and slow backtracking. Skip it if you dislike pixel hunting or haven't played the first game.
Great for
Fans of Syberia 1 and atmospheric story-driven point-and-click adventures who don't mind using a walkthrough
Main risk
Illogical puzzles, pixel hunting and slow backtracking, plus old-engine issues on modern PCs
