#MystIII #myst #Review
The actor is Brad Dourif... he played Wormtongue in LOTR: The Two Towers.
And Piter de Vries in the 80’s Dune, and the voice of chunky in child’s play
He was also in The X Files... I was THRILLED that he was in the game, which I didn't know until he appeared onscreen... absolute legend!!
Im your friend to the end.
And in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”(1975). Dourif’s just great.
Myst 3 really is like the hidden gem of the franchise, especially considering that it wasn't developed by the "original" developer.
Presto had big shoes to fill, but they did a great job and really managed to create a worthy successor to the previous games in the series.
While it may not have expanded on the idea and overall concept of the series as much as Riven or URU did (except the introduction of 360° images), but like you said, it really managed to capture the "feeling" of the franchise and delivered in pretty much every aspect people loved about the previous games, which kinda makes it feel so "quintessentially Myst" to me that it's still kinda hard to believe that this wasn't actually developed by Cyan.
When I first played it I had no idea it wasn’t cyan, and I think that’s a good sign that presto did an amazing job. Thanks for the comment
I loved Myst 3.
I beg to disagree...
Granted, M3E has great "visuals" and all, but "visuals" don't *_make_* the game (at least not within this genre), they only "enhance the experience" - and then only up to a point. It's *_the story_* that makes it - and this is the area where M3E kinda fails flat. Or at least "is tad on a wanting side".
Grim Fandango, for instance, was (and still is) a truly captivating game, even with its crude graphics (to the "laughable" point sometimes), and same goes for original MYST game - and frankly, I'd prefer even that point-and-click "hypercard" MYST over Myst III Exile (or the latter sequels) any day. And then there's this "Starship Titanic" thing - with quite nice graphics and very clever way of interacting with these bots, but that's about it - it just lacks a well thought, coherent and captivating story. Nice, enjoyable - but hardly "captivating" or "memorable" (bar for few hilarious moments/ bots).
In fact I find the whole narrative/ storyline of "M3E" kinda, erm, artificial (like in "artificial flavour"), "a cheap knock-off of earlier tales" if you will - or maybe a "forced sequel" (or "reheated leftovers") meant to squeeze the MYST cash cow like a lemon, till the last drop.
I mean, this can be done well too - a pizza after all came to the table (pun intended) just as way to utilise "leftovers from previous dinner" for poor Italian peasants struggling to make ends meet, but then there's more to it than just throwing it all together with a hefty dose of oregano and tomatoes and putting it in the oven - but I digress here.
So, tad "forced" or "artificial", and on the top of it smacking of early wokeism and "DEI" rubbish, squeezed in with hardly any rhyme or reason - or any bearing on the core narrative.
Off-putting, if you ask me - it could do just as well without that whole bunch of "renewables/ love and peace / women leadership" hogwash thrown in for a better reception among snowflakes and "narcissi". Should I feel like, or want to "enjoy" or "experience" that... "idealistic ideas", let us say, I'd go to BBC website (or any other progressive society for mutual adoration) - here I want to enjoy a captivating story, a saga-like narrative, not the contemporary much ado about nothing. If MYST or Riven could do without it, why M3E HAS to "include and diverse"? My guess CYAN as such no longer has a control over it, and most of the young folks doing this "reincarnation" are kinda brain... cleansed, so they just HAVE TO "include" all that. (Just like that bright and brave lass Budweiser company will remember for decades to come - "Older but wiser" indeed, heh heh, wink wink... ;-)
And then, I just remembered, there's this Journeyman Project game (The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time, to be specific, haven't played the other ones) - another fantastic and well made story, with a lots of puzzles, AND - last but not least! - tons of info about distant/ ancient cultures and their lives. No need for contemporary "DEI" ideology stuffed down players' throats...
So, to sum up this little ramble of mine - YES, a nice graphics - that 360° rendering is what I'd love to see in Riven, "back then" - and YES, beautiful scenery (although Riven is indisputably better in this area), and then YES again - mind-boggling (often to the point of insanity) puzzles - but that's about it. "Beautiful house, but nobody home", as they say.
If someone came to M3E world for puzzles and views - fine, "your desires will not go unsatisfied" - but if someone - like myself - expected it to be another great story, a true continuation build upon previous stories - then "sorry, wrong place".
And somehow that "Little Boxes" song just jumped into my mind right now:
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same
Maybe I'm too harsh here, but that "artificiality" of M3E is my biggest gripe (and disappointment) with this release. Kinda kitschy, the "overall feeling", if you ask me...
lmao "wokeism" my god man
As a kid in the 90s, I was obsessed with the Myst games and books. When this game was announced, it was the impetus that finally led me to buying a PC (i.e., begging my parents for one). I remember preordering the deluxe edition of the game, buying the strategy guide, and then having to wait about two more months before I could finally play it. I absolutely love this game. The story is great, the villain is awesome, and the music and ambiance are top notch. It was great finally seeing what Atrus was up to following the Book of D'Ni. The puzzles are also much more accessible and fun to me. I was able to beat it without using the guide, which I could do with Myst 1 but not Riven.
Yeah I found the puzzles more in the same design of myst, they felt easier but not in a bad way. I didn’t get this game when it came out, I didn’t know it existed till I went searching to play myst and riven again so was super hyped to play new games in the series. Thanks for the comment I really appreciate it !
Brad Dourif "Worm tongue" made an outstanding antagonist in this game.
Just played this game again this past weekend. It's been about 20 years since I played it last, but I still completed it in a single day. The trailer for Myst III: Exile is what finally got me interested in the video game series. Plus, you just gotta love Brad Dourif who always seems to portray a villain who sounds like he's in a stage play.
I remember first playing Myst 3 as part of the 10th anniversary DVD edition. I remember the puzzles being quite immersive (like all Myst games) but especially Amateria. And Brad Dourif is a great actor - he was also in Lord of the Rings as that creepy dude Wormtongue.
Amateria is so awesome! I’m honestly so surprised by myst 3 I wasn’t expected to love the revisit as much as I did. Thanks for the comment ( sorry it took a while for me to get back to you about it)
I absolutely loved Exile, and I REALLY loved Saavedro's storyline and Brad Dourif's performance and voicework. I still maintain that this is one of the best games in the series. I just consider Myst a three-part trilogy, and this rounds off the end.
Riven's soundtrack is king for me, but damn if this one doesn't come close.
The main theme is part of my workout playlist. It's such a banger.
I should put together a riven soundtrack for workouts that would be amazing !
Exile has been my favorite in the series since it came out. I love how cohesive it feels, every aspect playing its part in the whole. Most of the puzzles demonstrate this, too. Very cool world and theming.
Underrated indeed.
I loved it! Thanks for the comment I really appreciate it
I love replaying Exile now and again. I feel a lot of nostalgia for it. Brad Douriff's jump scares were really intimidating and that soundtrack was sure to quicken the pulse. (I copied the soundtrack from the disc and used to play it as background music when it came out.)
The sound was really one of my favourite parts of this game. It just was so good. I was really surprised how good everything was in exile. I think when I first played it I was rushing through to finish all the myst games and just wanted to finish it so didn’t give it the time it deserved! Thanks so much for the comment I hope you enjoyed the video.
@@cursedblake Yes. Thank you for the video. It makes me want to revisit Exile very soon. (Odd, I still have saved game files from the last time I started playing over a decade ago.) Maybe I'll just do the whole series again beginning to end.
@@QuestionMan I wish I could sit down and play the whole thing end to end that would be an amazing experience. Let me know how it goes!
I completely agree, I feel as if this game is often overlooked. My favorite part of the Myst franchise is going around to all of the different worlds, so while I understand that Riven is definitely the best game of the series, Exile is probably my favorite (or verrry close to Riven). It takes the original aspect of Myst, with a hub world that branches out to various other worlds, and improves upon it vastly with puzzles that are more intertwined with the environments, like in Riven.
I remember it being quite fascinating and immersive. I'll be replaying as soon as I get through the 2021 Myst and the most recent Riven. Definitely worth it 👍
I loved Exile! The entire game scared the crap out of me, from the distant thunderstorm on Amateria, the linking sound, the red room - to thinking Savverado was going to pop out around every corner and murder me. I completed this game as a kid literally shaking from fear :)
It was super fun to revisit! Thanks for watching
Even if the techniques are outdated, the art style and environment design still looks really nice.
The style of exile is probably my favourite aspect
And the music is excellent! =)
I really love Brad Dourif performance in this. really have a talent to play mentally tormented characters XD If dont rebember his work, he was the Harkonnen Mentat in the Dino DeLaurentis Dune movie, Was Grima in The Lord Of The Rings,, The Scientist in Alien: Resurrection and the Psycho Killer Lon Suder in ST:VOY to say few of his roles.
I want more games with the 360 node, prerendered, point and click gameplay. I never really liked the 3D versions (myst 5), and Uru was just a bit of a pain, control-wise, to play.
So glad we have the Riven 2023 version now!
Yes I should revisit all of them. I've just bought the whole series, Myst III is one of my favourites, really looking forward to getting into these games again. They're a bit like losing yourself in a good book you can't put down.
They are all pretty fantastic
I actually really liked Myst III, perhaps because Brad Dourif is a great character actor and it progressed Atrus's story. Some of the puzzles were oddly implemented, but I still have a pretty soft place in my heart for this one.
To be fair, I'm a sucker for any Myst related content, so perhaps I'm not the most objective person on this ...
Haha I feel the same on the objectiveness of my opinion on myst games. At the moment I’m super into them due to riven remake. To the point that I kinda want to revisit myst and myst 3 again soon… they are so much fun and I find myself not really caring that I know the solutions to the puzzles I just love the vibe of the games
I recently played the OG Myst trilogy after finishing Obduction and I was impressed by how memorable the puzzles were. Riven had great complexity but Exile knew how to tie the complexity together to a more cohesive whole and the plot points hit harder too. Jack Wall’s score and Brad Dourif’s acting also stands out (in a great way - Wall really knows how to set an atmosphere as proven by Mass Effect 2. Dourif has a depth in performance not often seen in acting outside of theater). Amateria was my favorite age as well because it made Myst and all the ages we’ve stepped into so far feel a lot more real. It even motivated me to try my hand writing fan fic that’s an immediate follow up to Exile because I wanted to imagine Saveedro’s homecoming and the possible reconciliation efforts between him and Atrus.
The soundtrack was great. Loved the twist in Amateria.
Soundtracks in cyan games are always awesome
Controversial but this is my favourite Myst game.
That guy is academy award nominee, BAFTA and Golden Globe winner Brad Dourif. He was in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and is the voice of Chucky from the Child's Play franchise
He is amazing, I’m tempted to do a whole video on his character in myst 3. Would be super interesting to do a character deep dive or something similar
I have discovered Myst games like around 4 years ago. I got obsessed and I love Exile very very much!
Im obsessed as-well!
Brilliant game!!!, All of the first 3 are as good as each other in my view. Myst was a game changer!!!
This game has such a niche nostalgia for me. My teacher spent half the school year letting us play it instead of normal lessons when I was 9/10 and it was an experience. I love this game so much.
I learned about Exile seeing a trailer for the game at the movies. The music hit hard.
It was Gladiator if I'm not mistaken.
My absolute favorite Myst game. Jack Walls sound track is amazing. Brad Dourif is fantastic as the villan (he's in a ton of films, but is noted as the voice of Chucky the in Childs Play films). Everything about this game is pure atmosphere and I always wished these places were real. Always worth a replay!
Yeah I think I underestimated myst 3 before I replayed it this time
Hey just want to shout out that I really enjoyed this review!
I just beat Myst for the first time and I’m debating playing the sequels. You’ve made an excellent case for jumping in!
Well done!
Thanks ! I hope you enjoy revisiting the rest of the myst series. I’m still working through it myself for my revisit series and have been loving it
I’ve never played the original Myst, but was a huuuuge fan of Riven as a kid (and still, of course!) When I played Myst 3, I remember everything felt quicker…the pacing, the feeling you could be murdered at any moment created suspense, it felt like you kind of had to hurry. But the game felt easier and more accessible…so wasnt a panic, as much as just a steady pacing through the game. (As apposed to being lost for days and alone in Riven. You’re not alone, but its much easier to forget in Riven) Also, from what I remember Myst 3 seemed much more alive overall! Brad as the villain and intense stakes, the music was great, and there was alot of emphasis on animals and plants.
Im due for another playthrough, and I recently revisited Riven. Looking forward to it. Great video! Ps, Im surprised to learn this wasnt the Cyan guys’ work 🤯
I LOVE Myst 3 the most out of the series! It's beautiful and I love the music and story and settings! =)
It sounds by what you're saying like you haven't played Obduction, also created by Cyan, I would HIGHLY recommend it, it's a masterpiece.
Yeah it’s definitely one I’m keen to play and make a video on
Obduction is my favorite Cyan game.
I didn't know just dropping emojis would help with engagement, lol. Good way to game the algorithm when you don't feel like commenting or are just watching on your phone and don't wanna type out something more substantial, I suppose!
At any rate, very nice review. I recently bought a modded Xbox with almost every game for that console pre-installed on it. I only recently noticed that Myst 3 and IV were part of the library (I didn't even know they GOT console ports) and was wondering which one was better since I've never played either. I kinda don't care after watching this if IV is better now, because Exile looks awesome and you make it sound fantastic! Just gonna have to give it a try! Thanks for the recommendation.
Haha gotta game that algorithm 😅. Thanks so much for comment I’m glad that that my video helped you make the decision! I really hope you enjoy the game
Love the video. Keep the Myst content coming!
This was my first myst game, i got myst exile for PS2 of all things
Awesome!
I hope, that even it was prerendered original 3d files are still somewhere.
With Riven remaster coming there is light of hope :D
Love Exile, amazing fly-bys and wonderful ages to explore, music and sound is pretty awesome too.
I didn't really talk much about the fly bys, but now that you mention it... its something that you just take for granted when you play this game. they are so fantastic and set the mood so well!
Now that a Riven remake has been released where you can play in 3d or VR maybe we will see Exile get a remake in a few years as well.
I hope so too!
Just played through the whole thing today. Truly recommend. The graphics were nostalgic, plus the puzzles were stunning and difficult.
I really loved Myst 3. I especially liked how it was the first of the Myst games, and the first game I remember seeing that used the newer idea of rendering a scene using a cube, where you're at the center of it and each side is a 90 degree view which then makes it appear as a normal environment you can look around (you're rotating the cube). Called cube mapping (I have programmed it myself since then). But this was the first game I remember that used it, previous Myst games just mostly had single images, no looking around. You had to click to change views and see another render. This could also use newer hardware acceleration for the cube mapping as well. I loved the puzzles in it and I especially liked that natural area I think you said you didn't like. I HOPE Cyan can work out a deal to remaster this, but someone else owns the rights which annoys me.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your thoughts-they really align with mine. Super interested in your thoughts on the rest of the series!
Riven may be the best Myst game, but Exile is a great vibe, basically like Myst 1 for gameplay. I was able to complete all of exile at age 7 except for the Narayan puzzle
That Narayan puzzle destroyed my brain! Being able to complete all the puzzles at age 7 is awesome I can barely do it at 32 😝
The trailer is the best Myst trailer of all time. The game was really good too.
I really enjoyed it
Myst has been remade so many times, and Riven is now *finally* getting its turn at a Cyan remake. I'm hoping someday soon Exile gets a similar remake or remaster - even if it's not a "full" realtime remake, I at least am hoping someone can actually figure out a way to excellently AI-upscale all the graphics to 4k quality, and replace the existing game .PAK files with the higher-res versions. I know someone's found out how to decompile the PAKs already, but to my knowledge no software exists to pack the extracted and upscaled stuff back into the format. Someone needs to figure that out, because that's the main thing holding us back from a higher-res version of Exile. Seems like the sort of thing that a good programmer or two could crack in a matter of months, and if Cyan could get that moving forward I imagine it could be pulled off for under $100k, and potentially be really profitable, a great way to persuade more people to revisit this underrated game.
3 is my fav.... I really lost myself in the world's as a kid. .
Yeah I really do need to play it again soon
Loved the Myst series. I picked up Myst back in 1994 when as a teenage got my first Pentium desktop computer with Windows 95. I was totally drawn into the world. Then in 1997, I got Riven and adored that game as well. I also enjoyed Exile and loved the update to the graphics and FMV. I continued to get the rest of the Myst series, even URU, but could never get into URU properly. I didn't enjoy Myst 4 or Myst 5, as much as the first 3. I still have all of the games on CD and DVD, but have no way of playing them, because I don't have a desktop computer any longer, only a Playstation console. I really wish that Cyan would bring the entire Myst series to the console space, but I'm doubtful that it would ever happen. I am hoping that with the Riven remake that it might be a possibility and hoping that upon the release of the new Playstation VR system that they will consider bringing over the new Myst 2021 VR game, as I would love to revisit Myst again in VR.
I Would love to play it in VR also. Thanks for watching!
great game and Brad Dourif was awsome.
The bad guy seemed familiar ... Then I realised, he was the crazy engineer in Star Trek Voyager 😄
who's pumped for that Riven remake?
So pumped! Once it comes out I definitely will do something with it on the channel
let's go, baby! that will be my very first playthrough of this beast, and I guess that's rather a good thing haha.
Not sure how I never played it, even though I've done most of the Myst series and had some good times in the URU and Obduction. I think the name never resonated with me to have looked into it. And its main screenshot felt like something gloomy and dark compared to Myst where the universe felt bright, just like in Obduction. URU also felt gloomy but I loved it.
@@anispinner see I’m the opposite I played riven first then went back to myst post playing it. And then went through some of the rest. Haven’t played Uru or obduction, but they are on the list!
as they say, there's no right or wrong answer I guess, haha! By the way, have you played Firmament? And if so... and as a real fan, do you have any honest opinion on it?
I'm personally wanna try it but too afraid to get disappointed and I feel like it will put a dent in my memory of Cyan's works. The world's looks are very impressive but that's something you start ignoring after a couple of minutes. I've heard it's very repetitive and the puzzles are so-so. If you have tried it, did it ruin your overall impression?
It would have been cool if you could actually visit Releeshahn like what Atrus wanted to in the beginning.
It would have been amazing
Sorry it took so long to get to this one! Hopefully the next one wont take as long.
After Riven, this is the best Myst game.
Exile was definitely underrated in my opinion. Having played it after Riven, there were more "pros" about the game then "cons", for me. Graphics and FMV were phenomenal, dare I say better than Riven, and I appreciated that the puzzles and resulting outcomes were more centralized than Riven - I just felt that I spent a lot of time running around Riven. The only nitpick for me was that I wish the cursor did a better job of telling you which direction you could move in. Brad Dourif was perfectly cast as Saavedro...I'd heard that he was a big fan of the Myst games, and pushed hard for the role. Exile will be a game I plan on playing again soon.
Myst 3 absolutely belongs with the first two releases even if it wasn't created by Cyan. The puzzles are very satisfying! Riven is my favorite and I can't wait to see how they remaster it.
Not long now to wait til the remaster
@@cursedblakeOh crap I didn’t realize it’s coming out in a couple of weeks!! Added to my wishlist.
@@marksaxon yeah should be awesome
@@cursedblake The preview looks awesome. I really hope we see some new things in it. The Myst remaster looked fantastic but the random puzzle button didn’t change me getting through it just as fast. I haven’t played Riven in 20 years so maybe I won’t remember as much.
Presto Studios is behind this one, who made Buried in Time, another hidden gem imo simply because of Arthur. While many know Myst, very few seem to know TJP which is a crime to me. If you haven't played any of them, I recommend it!
I have heard of it but never played it. I have put in on my list of revisits! thanks will check them out in the future
Super late, but I think Myst 3 ended up being my favorite. I first played Myst as a gradeschooler and while I liked it, it was too hard to get anywhere so set it aside for over a decade and when I came back to complete it the graphics and a few of the obtuse puzzles still put me off loving it. In high school I got Riven, but made the crucial mistake of getting it as the 4 cd version instead of 1 dvd. Do you realize how sucky those trams are when you have to disc swap every single one? I got nowhere. Myst 3 came out when I was in college and could finally enjoy both the puzzles and the graphics together and I managed to complete it without a walkthru. I'm with you and dislike the Myst 4 pure 3d look, the prerendered is better. I went back to retry Riven on Steam a few years back, but still never finished, maybe should give that another shot...
Exile is my favorite from the series followed EXTREMELY close by Riven.
👍🏻
Great vid! Love exile.
The bad guy is played by Brad Dourif who is a famous character acter. He played in several 80s/90s horror movies/sci-fi. LOTR. He was in a music video in the 80s. The rumor is he sought out working on this game. Which leads me to believe he was a bit of a fan.
music video: th-cam.com/video/VUFDQkzNTI8/w-d-xo.html
Oh awesome, he is kinda amazing 😍
@@cursedblake His work is consistently fantastic. Some that pop to mind is his appearance in an episode of Babylon 5 called Gethsemane. A role in the 90s horror movies. Alien 3. The Prophecy 3 with Christopher Walken to name a couple.
Late to the party. If you liked the Myst trilogy then I highly suggest playing Prestos best original work The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time. I played it after having played Myst and Riven as a early teen and was enthralled by what they did with semi historic settings and the story. Also Art helps make that game SOOOOOOO entertaining.
I have the Myst 3 Soundtrack from collectors edition signed by Jack Wall.... I think it's the only copy like this in the world. He signed in the Video Games Live presentation here in Brazil in 2018. The most rare CD I have in my entire collection.
That’s awesome!
This game is worth playing just for brad dourif
100%
Drinking game: every time he says "fmv", take a sip 🙂
Don’t do that… you will die 😅
I just played it a few weeks ago. I thought it was very good. The poem puzzle was too frustrating. I had to cheat on that after getting fed up.
I always have to cheat on the puzzles 😅😅😅
I love and Hate Exile. It has the very best age (Amateria) and the absolute worst (Edanna). I have played it 3 times just because of Amateria, and I always just use a walkthrough for Edanna because I could not care less about it.
I appreciate that they tried to do something new, with organic puzzles instead of mechanical, but the pathways were too contorted to navigate and search for things to poke, I just wanted to get out.
Yeah I found myself struggling with edanna also. I gave up for month or so just with how annoyed I was at the puzzles ( even with walkthrough to help try and solve it)
Taking risks is always something I appreciate in games. Even if it doesn’t pay off everytime I do respect a dev significantly more if try and go outside the box or try something new
Yes. Yes, you should.
100%
Brad Dourif, Chucky
Of course you should revisit EXILE - I do now and then, it somehow feels like home.
Yeah I was very surprised how much i enjoyed replaying it
yes
Man, I may be the only one in the world that thinks Myst 3 was a step backwards. The graphics were more obviously compressed and stretched due to the 360 engine, and likewise I have always felt the FMV actors felt less integrated into the world, the acting was cheesier, and the video again was more pixelated and poorly keyed.
I felt the worlds were cool, but not Myst-like. And this started the trend of one-upping the game before it when it comes to ridiculous contraptions housing the books.
Much love for Presto Studios -- Journeyman may be my favorite game of all time -- but I just feel only Cyan is capable of a proper Myst game (ahem...ignoring Myst V completely)
yeah I tend to agree with some of the points you gave raised here. for me it felt different to riven and myst for sure. I still enjoyed it, but can definitely see why some may take issues with it
So... Are you going to play Myst 4, etc.?
Yeah I’m hopeful to do a revisit on myst 4 also. Been taking a bit of a break for a couple of months. But it’s definitely on the agenda
how to install this game on a recent laptop?
If you get the game from gog.com then it should be optimised for newer systems to run. It won’t run the best as all those games where made for different aspect ratios but still able to play. Hope that helps. Give me heads up if you get it working
You should never _not_ revisit Exile, it's my favorite game in the franchise. Amateria is my favorite age, too.
Amateria is fantastic!
@@cursedblake ngl, when I was younger (and had a harder time remembering the names), my sister would always just refer to Amateria as "Pinball World".
Still better CG than Marvel.
True!
it was a pretty good game
Was fun to replay
Love this Game Myst Exile 111
I’ll be honest, I tried playing Exile and I thought it was terrible.
Garbage, nonsensical puzzle design mixed with insanely frustrating and disorienting movement. I could hardly parse what was going on most of the time and I kept getting lost because and they tried to copy Riven’s natural look and failed.
So much random crap happens, it’s all just deeply unsatisfying trial and error. Oh, what did that [thing] do? Spend ten minutes stumbling around the maze of invisible walls to find out! Watch a thirty second cutscene where like five different things happen all over the place. Get picked up by a freaking BIRD.
The only positive things I have to say about the game are that it looks and sounds great, and that Brad Dourif is awesome. I’d comment on the story but I gave up after getting lost in Amateria’s terrible layout, and that was WITH the guide pretty much open at all times.
yeah there are some incredibly frustrating sections. I found much of the same issues you did and I can totally understand giving up on the game, I almost did. I put it down for a long time before picked it up again to finish it for this review, im glad I did but I don't know if im going to revisit it again like I will with myst and riven
If you enjoy frustration, try playing Schizm.
I’m hungry. Feed me.

@@cursedblake thanks!!
@@SynthD anything to help
how can i play this!
They way I get all these older games is from gog ( not affiliated just love their service) www.gog.com/en/game/myst_3_exile
Can you play this game on Windows 11?
I’m pretty sure if you get it though gog.com then it should be optimised for any window operating system
@@cursedblake thanks! I actually bought it last night and it works great!
@@artvandelaythe3rd that’s awesome I hope you enjoy it
Yes all the Myst games are on a Steam too, they all work great on Win10 and Win11.
