Disappointingly simple, frustratingly short, I honestly enjoyed it a lot. The voice acting is believable, though the story is not nearly as good as the previous entries. If you're a Myst fan, give it a try, otherwise it might not hold your attention very long. Either way, be careful about what you're writing on your tablets, an entire age can be accidently skipped if you happen to draw a symbol that appears all over that particular age.

To really appreciate these games, one has to have read the books and beaten all the previous entrys. Wow that sounds elitist. Unfortunately, with Myst, it's quite true. Much like any other fantasy world (Middle Earth, Elder Scrolls, etc) the ages of Myst and your significance in them can only be understood in the context of the game's universe. Myst is about exploring ages, and figuring out puzzles, but in truth, its about so much more. Its about a lost tribe called the D'ni, and the legacy of the man who would eventually save them (Atrus). This is not a one part movie, but a story of which bits and pieces are scattered among other books and games. With Myst V you are getting the conclusion to a very long story. For that reason, it may seem short. But when you play the game with the knowledge of the other games, its an ending that seems mostly appropriate and is needed to cap off an otherwise endless story. Is it perfect? No. Does it work? yes. If you do not play the other games in the series, then it at the very least recommendable that you read the books. Not only do they fill in alot of blanks, but also give you some insight into the characters and why they are significant.

Meh, doesn't really do justice to the rest of the series. The new movement system had way lower graphical capabilites at the time than the old pre-rendered graphics and the storyline got butchered.

Just to play through the Myst games, (which are totally the best games ever) I had to try this one. But it was sadly, not nearly as good as those before it. I found the puzzles to be lacking. I didn't enjoy the story as much. Also there was a continuous problem with the sound in my game, I couldn't hear voices, even after 2 reinstalls I still could not get them to work :(
Worth it just to have played the whole thing through, but sadly a bit disappointing.

This game doesnt really deserve the moniker of "Myst". The quality of the myst series has dropped really far since exile. Myst, riven, and exile are very good. But both uru and this are a major disapointment.
