Syberia II picks up right where the first game ended, continuing Kate Walker’s extraordinary journey alongside Hans Voralberg toward the mythical island of Syberia. The shift from urban settings to vast snowy landscapes gives the sequel a colder, more melancholic tone, but the sense of wonder is still there.
The story focuses more on the personal bond between Kate and Hans, with a greater sense of purpose driving the adventure. However, once you actually reach Syberia, Hans — brilliant but frail — becomes more of a sickly, passive presence, leaving most of the struggle to Kate. It fits the narrative, but also makes him feel like a bit of a dead weight in the final act.
The environments are beautifully crafted, the puzzles are more varied, and the soundtrack retains the emotional depth of the first game.
That said, the sequel feels a bit more linear, and some pacing issues remain — especially in backtracking-heavy sections. The controls and mechanics haven’t changed much since the first game, so they feel even more dated by modern standards.
Pros:
✔ Direct continuation of the first game’s story
✔ Stunning winter-themed locations
✔ Strong emotional connection between Kate and Hans
✔ Memorable soundtrack and atmosphere
Cons:
➖ Hans becomes a sickly, passive presence by the time you reach Syberia
➖ Dated controls and mechanics (same as first game)
➖ Some pacing and backtracking issues
➖ Less variety in environments compared to the first game
Score: 8/10 — A worthy continuation of Kate’s journey, with more emotional depth and a colder, more mysterious tone. While it inherits some of the first game’s flaws — and Hans turns into a bit of a sickly passenger — it remains a touching and beautifully crafted adventure.

6.1 out of 10
This game definitely lacked the environment design of the first, however some extra things were added in this sequel that were nice.
First good thing, is the fact that the developers wewre not afraid to have more action in their cutscenes, and the developers also leaned more into the wildlife than the first game did.
I would not play this game on its own, I would play after completing the first
the story was good aswell
