The shortest and most beautiful Myst game yet

User Rating: 8.5 | Myst V: End of Ages PC
By xyriel | Review Date:
I've played all Myst games. This one was by far the most beautifull and immersive since maybe the 1st one 15 years ago. The environement is superbly rendered, the sounds are immersive and the characters that accompany you during your journey are as detailed as you can see in Half life 2.

Sadly, the puzzles are too easy and too few making this game very short. I was able to go through all of it in 12 hours. At most, even for new players not used to the "myst like" puzzles, this game can be done in 20 hours.

It seems Ubisoft preped this game that it could be the last Myst. However, seeing this one, I would love a Myst 6 with the same quality but longer gameplay.

Because of the gametime, I would suggest waiting that it gets to the bargain bin.
