Nice to look at but annoying controls and illogical puzzles.

User Rating: 5.5 | Syberia II PC
By christinewalker | Review Date:
I enjoyed Syberia 1 but Syberia 2 is very irritating. The puzzles and tasks aren't logical and I had to keep using a hint website to continue the game. When I would look up what needed to be done, my general reaction was "how was I supposed to know to do that?!"
Also the useable areas aren't obvious so I keep getting stuck, not realising that I'm right in front of something I need but am missing the curser change to signal something useable – frustrating and tedious!
The graphics are great looking and it has an easy interface. Not much inventory usage though.
It takes a long time to move around which is annoying when it's necessary to go back and forth between areas over and over.
I wished there was a journal type feature so I could go back over conversations for clues. This was especially important when I would leave the game overnight then go back to play the next day and forget what I had discussed previously.
Overall I sum up as annoying and not as good as the first one.
