Syberia 3 received "mixed or average" reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[10][11]
Elise Favis's scored the game 5/10 on Game Informer and said "The Syberia series is a product of its time, and Syberia 3 doesn’t bring back any excitement. It is plagued by bugs, a disappointing storyline, cliché characters, and puzzles that are more frustrating than fun. This return fails to do the series justice, feeling more like an unpolished and dated adventure game instead of a revival."[12]
GameSpot's Michael Highham scored the game 4/10 and concluded: "Slivers of enjoyment and potential are found within a disconnected and underwhelming journey. The characters, their interactions, the way they speak, and the reason they even exist all mash into a puzzle-adventure game devoid of significance or impact. The Syberia series deserved a better return, otherwise, it should've been left in the past."[13]
PC Gamer's Fraser Brown scored the game 30/100, saying "Some solid puzzles can't rescue what is an otherwise terrible adventure game." Fraser criticized the game for its disconnected story, poor graphics and animation, subpar translation to English, awkward voice acting and unmitigated software bugs that severely damage the gaming experience.[14]
