Jolt's Colin Barnwell unveils his fairly upbeat review ree Myst IV: Revelations - "Mr. Easy" gives Myst an overall 8.4 out of 10 rating...
Overall this is definitely a game for the fans and not a game that’s likely to convert non-fans. If you’ve never played a Myst game then it’s easy to see why Myst IV might be frustrating. The puzzles can be pretty strange and often seem to have little practical purpose other than to impede you. Mostly it’ll be because you don’t know the rules: don’t be deceived by the pretty views because you’ll need your brain switched on and ready for keen observation, sharp memory, pattern recognition, logical and lateral thinking and some good old fashioned trial-and-error (assuming you can make sense of the feedback, a puzzle in itself at times). If something looks like it means something then it’s probably worth noting it down, but then again there’s a lot in Myst IV that you can interact with purely for the curiosity factor. The game definitely requires patience and the willpower to avoid reaching for a solution, and if you have those then it’s well worth checking out.
