![]() ![]() ![]() The voice acting varies wildly from very well done (such as Kate and the doctor at the clinic) to laughably terrible (such as the inventor's granddaughter and some NPCs on the street). I even had the camera get stuck a few times, forcing me to load my save to get out of the situation. Video and audio will often pause and stutter for a few seconds at a time. The poor graphics go hand-in-hand with the overall lack of quality control. Will using the walkie-talkie make her talk into it or throw it? Kate will also walk through objects and characters sometimes stand inside of each other. You'll often find yourself wondering how far an area goes as you walk off into the distance. ![]() This could have been remedied by having a map that shows the edges of where you can walk but nothing like that is available. Except for Kate, the characters are all very ugly and when they talk, their mouths just move randomly, often continuing well after they've finished what they're saying.Īs Kate walks, you'll find she hits invisible walls and can't quite walk around objects neatly. Considering the number of areas that you visit is small when compared with the average AAA title which has far superior graphics, I don't see why they couldn't deliver a great-looking experience for Syberia 3. How a game can be released in 2017 with such awful visuals boggles me. Unfortunately, the biggest drawback of Syberia 3 is its graphics. He may look old and frail but he sure doesn't sound like it. In true Syberia style, the script is generally very well written and keeps you playing to unravel the next stage in Kate's journey. The story certainly starts out with an interesting plot and I'm happy to say that it doesn't get boring. Thankfully, the quick-thinking Kate comes to their rescue as she works closely with the Youkols to help free their leader and bring the ostriches across the country. They are trying to complete their journey of taking the ostriches on their migration path but the clinic has decided to keep the leader of the Youkols captive and use him to rid the town of Nomads forever. The well-spoken and logical Kate quickly becomes friends with the Youkols, a group of Nomads that are hated by the townspeople. It soon becomes apparent that the doctors keeping her there have hidden motives and something big is afoot. Syberia 3 tells the story of Kate Walker who finds herself trapped in a suspicious clinic high on the mountain tops of a winter town after being rescued from a stranded boat. □ No driver?!
