About

After crossing Europe from west to east, Kate Walker finally found Hans Voralberg and got him to sign the papers approving the sale of the automaton factory. An improbable pair, Kate Walker and the eccentric old Hans Voralberg set forth in search of a forgotten world, home to the last legendary mammoths of Siberia. Hans and Kate continue the impossible undertaking that Hans had begun several years before, and their courage and perseverance take them through a range of hostile environments. Yet what lies ahead goes far beyond the limits of the imagination...

Syberia 2 is a curious animal, as it improves on, but is also inferior to the original in a few ways. It is shorter (about seven hours compared to the original's ten), and players new to the series will have the classic first instalment reduced to a short prologue, so ideally you should experience that in full first. The environments look great, despite their age, and the flow is helped by more streamlined puzzles, even if the fluctuating difficulty of the odd one or two borders on incomprehensible.

Syberia 2 is not as good as the first game in terms of story, and this is a story-driven title. The former played out almost like a detective hunt, but here your final destination is known from the start. However it still has some memorable moments along the way, and there’s some, great for its time, visuals and timeless music. Play it and get ready for part 3 to arrive on the Switch soon.

The character development, the intense dialogue sequences that made that possible, the sense of wonder from exploring a variety of bizarre locations; these are almost nowhere to be found here. There's a bit of mystery, a little bit of interesting character interactions, and - way - more challenging puzzles to solve, but as a whole this lacks the "magic" of the first one, or at least a portion of it. This was clearly made for fans of the original, and although very far from a bad game, even many of those are unlikely to love it in the same way they loved the first instalment.

It’s not groundbreaking by any stretch of the imagination. Syberia 2 takes Syberia’s template and continues Kate Walker’s adventure. The puzzles swing from overly simplistic to ridiculously cryptic, with very little to give a sense of purpose. It’s also pricey, but if you’re invested in the story and absolutely must have it on the Switch then this is the right place.

Segunda entrega de un viaje maravilloso y casi onírico en busca del último reducto donde habitan los mamuts. Syberia 2 no es un sueño. Es una grata realidad el poder disfrutar de obras atemporales como ésta en nuestra Nintendo Switch. Un port que bien es cierto que arrastra pequeños fallos técnicos ya presentes en las versiones que lo precedieron pero que no impide en absoluto disfrutar de una magnífica aventura point and click.

Voor iedereen die Syberia helemaal geweldig vond, is Syberia 2 een geweldig vervolg. Je zit in het verhaal, bent gewend aan de besturing en de sfeer van de game en je wilt gewoon weten hoe het eindigt. Voor iedereen die deel één niet heeft gespeeld is dit helaas een afrader, een game die te veel blijft hangen bij het vorige deel zal gewoon niet leuk zijn voor je.
