A true masterpiece of the adventure genre
What a game. No other game series has defined the adventure genre quite like Myst. The Myst games have a reputation to uphold when it comes to exploration, and Myst 4 is no exception.
The story in Myst 4 takes off a few years after Myst 3, Yeesha is a girl of 9 or 10, and Atrus is an older, more reserved man. He is experimenting with a wavelength emitter, when it explodes. You are sent help out, and get drawn in immediately. The story keeps going until the awe-inspiring conclusion.
The graphics are gorgeous, just like every other Myst game. The environments seem to move, the plants and animals seem alive.
The Ethereal soundtrack will blow you away with the likes of Jack Wall and Peter Gabriel.
The Controls are like Myst 3, but without the rapid transport system.
The Problem with the game is some devilishly tricky puzzles, but that's part of the Myst series, and if you get stuck pulling out your hair, there is a help guide courtesy of prima.
All in all, this is a worthwhile entry into the Myst series, and definite pick up for adventure gamers and Myst fans alike.
