The cut-scenes are seamlessly integrated with gameplay and I continue to marvel at the time and effort that went into creating such an imaginative game world. It is a stunningly beautiful 3D game with scenery and object detail that takes your breath away. Thus, Syberia 3 has all the elements that made me fall in love with the adventure genre. As before, Kate is a true heroine…beautiful, smart, compassionate, indefatigable, and possessing ad-hoc mechanical abilities that put MacGyver to shame. The journey is fraught with obstacles to overcome and puzzles to solve. She befriends Kurk and becomes an advocate for the Youkols, evading capture and facilitating their trek to the snow ostrich breeding grounds. Kate soon discovers that there is a sinister plot afoot to block the Youkol’s progress and to imprison her. They deliver Kate and their own injured guide, Kurk, to a hospital in the city of Valsenbor where the adventure begins. She is revived by the Youkols – a nomadic tribe that is on a spiritual pilgrimage with their snow ostriches. The game opens with Kate Walker lying frozen and half dead on a river bank.

Originally due out in 2010, Syberia 3 was delayed by a series of business challenges.

I also discovered that he developed two other games that I have not played: Paradise (2006) and Sinking Island (2007 released for Nintendo DS in 2008 under the title Last King of Africa).

Despite the (sometimes) arduous process of getting through the game, I would not have missed Syberia 3 for anything
