Riven: Riven is such a uniquely distinct game, it sounds crazy, a puzzle game with only a handful of actual puzzles, but Cyan really made it work. I will say that I did have two cases where the game bugged out and wouldn't let me grab my tablet, luckily they were easily fixed with a reload. Thats one of things that was really nice about the first 4 games they felt like one connected and coherent story. I did not particularly enjoy the story in this game, I understand it's more of a sequel to URU, but it feels wierdly detached from the other games. the puzzles themselves were pretty entertaining and felt like a classic Myst affair. The tablet mechanic was lenient enough to the point I didn't have too many issues. Whilst Esher's constant badgering was annoying the puzzles themselves were pretty good. Myst V: I had heard a lot of bad things about this game, but I was pleasantly surprised. It just feels very slapped together and I entirely blame Ubisoft for all of this. Not to mention the bugs that were incredibly frustrating to deal with. With some ages having practically none (Spinny age) and one having an insane amount of really tough puzzles (forest of the damned age) It made for an overall inconsistent and confusing experience. But despite the cool locations and interesting lore, the puzzles were among the worst in the series. Firstly an MMO puzzle game sounds insane and I was looking forward to see how they implemented it. URU: (Disclaimer, I only played CC) this game was the most disappointing for me for a couple reasons. this game also had some generic puzzles (i.e lights out and the first dream sequence). Not to mention the subpar acting and merely passable story. I can see its potential but it held back in many different ways. Out of all the games this is the one that needs a remake the most. Travelling ANYWHERE is incredibly annoying even with the zip feature. But the largest thing that drags these down is the load times. But the puzzles range from fine to incredibly annoying (the monkeys and the entirety of Spire come to mind) these puzzles have several issues, the main one being lack of feedback making it difficult to know if you are doing the right thing or not. Visually, Myst IV is stunning and groundbreaking with incredibly beautiful and interesting locations (in fact I'm making a Spire inspired base in minecraft). In none of the other games is this more clear. Myst IV: ambition is the Myst series greatest strength, and sometimes its greatest weakness. WOW! This is an incredible series of games, even the worst games are still good, and it is clear the amount of love and thought Cyan puts into these games. I'll start this review by giving my overview of the whole series.
