You won’t have issues reading said subtitles, but the errors pop up enough that I do hope Microids goes back and cleans up the text. On the flip side...

Visually wondrous and full of logical, fair puzzles and likable characters, this is a worthy entry in the series, despite a jarring conclusion and some rather poor performance.

Syberia II came out two years later, and was also successful. Then in 2017, Syberia 3 made its debut, and was panned by fans and critics alike. People were surprised to hear that another entry to the Syberia franchise, Syberia: The World...
