Really sad to see the franchise go down in quality after the fairly good upgrade 2 was for the series.
The technical aspects are what kills this for me and for most that played/will play this. Movement is so janky, you consistently have to fight the controls to do what you are supposed to do, I had to restart the game at least 3 times because it would randomly get stuck.
Voice acting was overall really bad, kate and oscar do a very good job as always but the supporting cast had either really bad actor choices that didn't fit with the character or just didn't know what they were doing.
Those unfortunately tarnish what would otherwise be a very good experience. The story doesn't hit as hard as 2 but it has some nice beats, puzzles are fairly enjoyable and you don't get stuck or have to waste time nearly as much as in previous entries. The soundtrack is as always really well done.
Wasted opportunity, if you REALLY like the Syberia series then you probably shouldn't skip this one but otherwise, I can't recommend this in good conscience.
