A True Gaming Spectacle
Instantly upon starting the game you realize that you are about to play a game that is different then any you have played in the past. The graphics are incredible, even for the myst series, the sounds come from every direction, and the textures of even the most minute objects are created with perfection in mind. The game is a bit tough on computers, however, I solved the problem by turning off some services my computer did not need to run while playing.
One of the most striking features in the game is the interaction you have with any object within reach. Unlike previous myst games, in the event that you don't know what exactly it is that you are looking at, you are given the option of "tapping" it. A texture specific sound can then be heard which will give clues to what the object is made of.
I found the puzzles easy to play (Spire is just very redundant) and the actual progression timely and very orderly. Amongst other things you begin to develop much deeper profiles of the key characters due to your ability to see the the memories they have affixed on an object via an amulet.
Overall, I honestly have not played a better game in my many years of playing them, and would highly suggest this game to anyone with a computer capable of handling it.
