Syberia 2 (Switch XCI)

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’s shift in narrative focus and end goal might not meet fan’s exact expectations, but that is mainly due to the strength of the first outing. This is a relatively more straightforward but still interesting second part of a series that still has an enchanting setting, likeable characters and a surprisingly layered story. Despite its ongoing technical hiccups, along with the game having done the rounds for well over a decade, it’s still a worthy sequel and a good addition to the genre on Switch.
