As a point-and-click adventure originally released on PC in 2002, it’s easy to criticise elements of Syberia’s gameplay, but replaying it for the third time on the Nintendo Switch – the best console port by far – I’m still impressed by its relatable protagonist, timeless artistic vision, and serenely melancholic atmosphere.

0:00 - Intro
0:25 - Kate goes adrift
2:23 - Artistic vision trumps technical prowess
4:17 - Streamlined adventuring but dated designs still frustrate
6:08 - Going off the rails, on the rails
