Its a good game in terms of graphics, and a bit of mystery. But ultimately it lacks substance.

I was blown by the fantastic graphic work of this game. I have hardly seen such cool looking game in terms of its artistic value. The main designer of this game, no doubt, has a passion for designing retro machines-- and I think you won't find many artists who can do this job like he did. Syberia's cold world is full of beautifully designed automaton right from the beginning and these automaton stays at the heart of the game. The puzzles of the game is comparatively easy and in fact they are not abundant. The biggest minus point of this game is its weak story line. I am not convinced why a New York based lawyer would suddenly start frantically looking for the creator of the automaton and then why would she abandon everything to accompany that man to an unknown place called Syberia. Sure there's a mystery-drive; but the mystery is not mystery enough.
The game also feels short; if you deduct the cut-scenes -- the game can be very short. If it was not for the wonderful graphics, I am sure this game would not have been such a hit.
