The value story
40 discounts in the 8 years on record, a median of 60 percent off across all of them, roughly 10 weeks apart. Today's $5.99 at 60 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
It is pricier than 80 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 91 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Through Abandoned: The Underground City ($0.71, scores 49) and Myst ($20.99, scores 51) both outscore it.

It was unforgiveable. They knew it was bad and there is a Prima™ guide built into the game as an answer to the bad design. I had some issues with some of the puzzles in previous Myst games, but this one just got too...
This is the worst - by far the worst - of the Myst series as far as I am concerned. The first part of the game was pretty enjoyable, but the closer I got to the end the more tedious the tasks became and had nothing to do with cognition, but rather a grim determination to complete tasks that were bordering on near impossibility due to a combination of poor color definition and a problem with cursor control that made...
