A worthy finale

I think many reviewers have been too hard on this game. Yes, it's somewhat shorter than most of the Myst games, there are a few glitches in the 3D-people rendering, etc. This might take away from the experience if one is expecting a huge blow-out finale.

But all that shouldn't take away from the fact that it is, at it's heart, a good, solid Myst game. I was happy to have new ages to wander in and solve. The new tablet-linking system gives an interesting twist to the gameplay and contributes to the cleverness of some of the puzzles. And the main story - and its solution at the end - was worthy of the last episode.

So, think of this as a short-and-sweet wrapup to the story. I think any Myst fan will enjoy it.

Great game, very smart

I loved how each world brought wonderful views. The puzzles were varied in difficulty and well worth figuring out.

A rip off

I have been a fan of Myst for a long time and could not wait to get this game to finish off the series. It didn't take me long to find that I did not care for the game at all, I had hoped for something way better. I think they tried too hard to make the game "more modern" in todays gameing standards.

Don't get me wrong, there are some very nice ages but I think they went a little over board with the CGI characters, I prefer how they did it in the previous games with real people.

If you really want to purchase the game just to say you have all the games go ahead, but don't expect anything too great if you play the game.

Bad,bad,bad,bad.

This game was terrable. It's not worth any amount of money. Maybe if it cost one cent with free shipping and you are extremly bored, it will help you pass the hour, but if you played and liked the first 4 Mysts, you will hate this game. Characters were badly anemated, to much talking, to confusing, half the time there were no clues to tell you where you should go and what you should do next and the other half it was like they thought you were to stupid to be alive because they told you step by step by step what to do, when to do it and how to do it. Very, very bad game. on a scale of 0 to 10 this game is a 1 only because the most entertaining part is telling all my family and friends how bad it is and seeing the look of shock that the makers of Myst put out a bad game.

Wrecked my PC

The game froze my harddrive; I reformtted, only to have my PC ffreeze again when I tried the second time. I bought two Cyan games, and can't play. What a waste of money!

I am sorry the final chapter is not on Mac platform as well. I have enjoyed the series to be left out in the end.

Utterly boring

As a science-fiction and fantasy worlds lover, I tried a few of the myst games in the past. Though I never really enjoyed any of them, I did make some efforts, solved a few puzzles, trying to find some interest in the game, even wondering if I was in the least normal NOT to enjoy what others apparently found so exciting.

I remembered that landscapes and sceneries had always been visually pleasant despite a somewhat stifling quality (very small worlds), and I also recalled that the gameplay used to drive me mad sometimes : slowness, repetitivity, lack of "open space"...
But strangely enough, when a friend lent me a copy of Myst V, I was rather pleased and looking forward to it. I rushed to my place to install it...

Soooooo, I tried Myst V. Pheeew... Nothing has changed from what I see, but I had forgotten the worst...
Indeed, Myst V still abudantly displays the same utterly pretentious, irritating and theatrical tone, this useless and dreary psychobabble from unlovable characters, and is more than ever based on that atrocious, confused and self-inflated scenario. Right from the start, I got inflicted with the endless verbosity of booklets I found on the way, had to suffer the endless prattle of a "game companion" which kept appearing every 2 minutes...
Slowly getting half dead in front of my screen, I managed to get to the first puzzle... I pulled a few contraptions that were hanging around, and... in a fit of lucidity, trashed the whole thing with a feeling of intense relief. Aaaaaah !

Myst V- "It may be some peoples fav myst, it might not be...."

Myst V end of ages

Graphics: 9/10- i still wish they used the pre rendered images instead of the dull 3d uru engine. This was a letdown for the final chapter but the real time 3d actors look pretty good. Esher in particular. Still i prefere the live actors. This i missed from this game.

Puzzles: 7/10- not overy challenging as past myst games sumwat in between the difficulty of riven and exile. half of the puzzles in this game revolve around drawing symblos on a slate to get creatures called the Bahro to do certain things within worlds. This got a bit dull after a while as it is the same thing within each age as there is no logic required for most of the puzzles. But they are satisfactory.

Characters: Yeesha- whom you meet at the start of the game and at the very end of the game.

Esher- a freaky full blooded Dni survivour who sumwat helps u through out your quest.

Story: i found the story of this game similar to URU: AGES BEYOND MYST. Collecting stuff to unlock stuff. I thought that Cyan Worlds would come up with a better story line for a final gripping chapter but oh well.

Overall:8/10

The worst MYST game ever! Even worse than URU

This was such a let down. How sad that the MYST era ended like this. This is one of the worst games I have ever played. My advice don't spend the money to get this. It is that bad!
