100It is really hard for a run-of-the-mill writer like me to do justice to Syberia in describing it. Ultimately all I can tell you is this: Play it yourself! It is not likely you will be disappointed.
-
100Provides a huge dose of what adventure gamers are hungry for: a rich story, complicated characters, tons of puzzles and exploration of a series of beautiful and intriguing environments.
-
The same beautiful artwork is there, but now there are more puzzles, better, deeper characters, and, I’m not sure how to describe this, but a wonderful mood to the game. In short, Syberia is the best adventure to come out in the last two years.
-
91Aside from a few little rough spots, Syberia is an adventure-game tour de force, with an engrossing story, a truly imaginative gameworld, and stunning visuals.
-
90While it doesn't have many fireworks or action sequences is does have a unique story that will delight those of you who are hungry for something different than your average adventure title or just tired of shooters.
-
90Overall, I must say Syberia is proof positive that no matter what anyone says, the adventure genre never died. It just went on holiday to Europe.
-
90Combining a haunting story with astounding visuals and sound, Syberia is the best adventure game since "The Longest Journey."
-
One of the best adventure games I've ever played. The near-perfectly crafted combination of story, gameplay, graphics and audio makes it utterly enchanting.
-
90The setting is rich, the characters are captivating, the interface is clean and easy to use, and the puzzles are just obtuse enough to be challenging, not frustrating.
-
Beautiful? Stunning? Breathtaking? All words that can safely be used when describing Syberia's graphics. The level of detail is simply immense.
-
90Syberia is a very fine adventure game, gorgeous to look at and with an intriguing and compelling story. It's tremendously enjoyable despite the air of sadness.
-
Not only is it an intriguing game, it’s also fun. It’s like a good book – one that you’ll want to return to again and again.
-
88While not perfect, Syberia is one of the best games of the year, and is destined to become a legend in years to come. Grab it while you can, and enjoy.
-
A slower-paced, puzzle-based game without any combat. But for those who'd rather use their brains instead of brawn, it's a solid pick.
-
80Game play wise, it seems to be missing a basic function of the Adventure genre: The description of objects.
-
80If you appreciate well-crafted stories over carnage, it's an adventure that genre fans won't want to miss. [Sept 2002, p.84]
-
80A magnificent game.
-
Easily the best new adventure game in years, though it loses some steam after its outstanding first act. [Oct 2002, p.112]

-
80It is a great quest game that is definitely aimed to appeal to the generation of gamers that grew up in a time when the adventure game genre took center stage.
-
Features an interesting story and great atmosphere, but its gaming aspects fall a little short.
-
77Plot issues, questionable voice acting and a frustrating control scheme mask an otherwise good adventure title.
-
Syberia will return as much as you are willing to invest.
-
71It falls far short of being a great game because of its much too simplistic puzzles, boring story, characters you don't fall in love with and a really bad ending.
-
Got really old really fast. [Nov 2002, p.148]
-
63The biggest gripe I had with this game are the rather easy puzzles and the fact that some important technical (gameplay) issues were not resolved properly.
-
Overall, the game puzzles are too easy, which makes the game boring at times.
