A friend got me it as a gift ages ago and I never played it.

Hope that helps!

I thought so. It's a point and click adventure game that had you (Kate Walker) trying to track down a person who owned a huge mechanical toy/machine company. Kate ends up going on a huge adventure in the process of discovering this persons life and what had happened.

This one seems to have moved away from the point and click pre-rendered gameplay. There was always talk of a sequel by the incredible talented creator, but it seems it's finally happening.

Yeah it is really. Some of the puzzles were quite tough, but the world is fascinating and full of life. The company Kate's poking around in is full of automatons and other clever designed machines that use clock work - the guy she's after is a genius at making these.

The latter half of Syberia 2 saw Kate find hidden cities with different types of life. It'll be interesting to see where it goes from there.

No Virtual console at Switch launch. That's a huge own goal I think.

Nintendo are getting quite a few indie games now which is good to see. I get the feeling this "Nindies" movement was really started by NoA/NoE more then Japan.

True enough. The lack of third party is going to be trouble for them, but at least they're trying I suppose.

Yooka Laylee reviews are in and it seems to be getting 6-7/10 which seems about right. Though, I think a lot of the negative reviews seem to have got the idea of this game completely wrong. From the word go, Playtonic said this would be a 90s styled N64 platformer and yet some writers are seeing that as a negative?

Jim Sterling seems to be the worst of this. He clearly doesn't like this type of game, so he simply panned it. Very odd.

I think the game is going to do fine.  Those who loved collectathon platformers will love Yooka Layee, since they funded it too.

Jim Sterling seems to be the worst at anything, especially after giving 7 for Zelda:BOTW while others will go for 9 or 10.
