It’s rare for two games from the Myst series to be released close together in time – usually a few years go by before the next game makes its appearance. Myst Uru: Complete Chronicles and Myst IV Revelation were released within months of one another, providing an unusual opportunity to closely compare their various design elements without having to make allowances for large differences in available technology. In the article below, I compare various aspects of Revelation and Uru with two goals in mind: 1) I’ve described how I think each game continues the Myst tradition or diverges from the Myst tradition, and 2) leaving aside the Myst tradition, I’ve analyzed how the games compare simply as adventure games.
