You play the role of young American attorney Kate Walker, sent to the quaint and secluded French village of Valadilène on behalf of her law firm to finalise the takeover of a mechanical toy (automaton) factory after the death of destitute owner Anna Voralberg and the disappearance of its sole heir and genius inventor, Hans. Influenced by the work of early 20th century pioneering French film maker Georges Méliès, the game mixes mild fantasy and science fiction elements, but starts out as a somber tale explaining the decline of a family business. During your adventure, you will explore various environments, talk to different characters and find inanimate objects in order to solve puzzles and progress through the story.
Syberia at its core is initially a pretty standard point-and-click affair. While the quality of these ports have varied thus far, the Switch's ample hardware specs - combined with its portability - means that there is potential for this to be the best iteration.
#Syberia 3 switch review Pc
Not to be left behind, the Syberia trilogy, created by Benoit Sokai, makes its way to the Switch after a fifteen year stint as not only one of the most well-received PC genre titles, but also as one which has seen release on several other systems, including a rather sub-par DS version in 2008. This expansion has resulted in a handful of modern takes on the formula, ranging from episodic, story-driven titles such as Broken Age and the dialogue-focused Telltale games, to this year's Wwitch releases Violett and Thimbleweed Park - the latter being a throwback (and spiritual successor) to Lucasrts' fan-favourite Maniac Mansion. While there has always been a core fanbase for this style of game on mouse-driven systems, the genre has been brought into both the console with recent remasters of classics such as Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle.
Point-and-click adventure games have historically found their audience on PC, especially in the heyday of the early-to-mid '90s with series such as Broken Sword and Monkey Island.
