 Myst IV - Revelation, 2007-10-25
one of the best games in the bunch great puzzles and the places are great to see and the sound is better then myst
Maravilloso, 2007-07-30
Fue definitivamente delicioso jugar esta version de Myst, la historia es muy atractiva, la complejidad esta a su medida, los escenarios son espectaculares que se podrian llamar las obras de arte de la computacion, y la variedad de estos es muy diversa que hace el juego nada monotono.
Lo unico que me hizo falta pero que no me atrevo a quitarle puntos por eso es que hubiera sido perfecto si los recorridos fueran en 3D real y no renderizados, pero puede que se haya hecho asi para no perder la calidad visual y no inflar los requerimientos tecnicos del PC.
Realmente agradezco a Cian y por tanto a todos los responzables de las sagas de Myst por que fueron de los juegos que mejor me hicieron sentir y mayores satisfaciones me dieron.

 Enjoyable, Visually Stunning, Too Hard, 2007-07-10
When I look back at Myst IV, the first thing that comes to mind is "dang, that was a hard game". In my opinion, Myst 1, 3, & 5 were a bit too easy and Riven was just perfect. The puzzles in Myst IV are not intractable, but they will stump you for longer than you like. I like a good challenge in an adventure game since they have little replay value, but this one was quite frustrating at times.
So I was disappointed? No, not at all! For one, this game is gorgeous and contains a lot of variety in the environments. There are four main areas in this game. The first and last are decent and the other two (which you'll spend most of your time in) are absolutely beautiful. The jungle looks very realistic and contains a wonderful blend of colors and a motley of very interesting wild life. The monkeys are the cutest thing I've seen in a Myst game. It almost makes you forgive them for being part of one of the cruelest puzzles in the game. The other main area, Spire, is the jungle area's antithesis. It's a set of big rocks suspended in the sky and the whole world is dark and grim. The area contains a nice mix of blue and black and the whole area has a feeling of both sadness and menace. Also, there are quite a few little graphical details which enhance the experience. I particularly liked the chess theme which popped up on occasions (I'm a chess nerd).
Another thing that I liked about the game is the same thing that I complained about: the puzzles. Despite the warnings, most of the puzzles are very well-done. The extreme difficulty comes from two or three virtually impossible puzzles. Until I got to the point where I had no choice but to solve those, the puzzles were enjoyable. Also, the two "middle" areas can be "beaten" in any order and you can go back and forth. These two places each contain one puzzle which is too hard, so you can always put one away and do something else. Also, it's simply enjoyable just travelling around and enjoying the scenery.
Okay, back to the negatives. As you have surely heard already, the game will take quite a chunk of hard disk space. Also, some people have trouble running the game on certain hardware, although I've had no issues and I have what you would probably consider a budget computer. Another problem is the length. Despite the amount of hard disk space the game requires, it's not very long. Oh, it WILL take a while to beat, but that's only because you'll be stuck on the same puzzles for days. I think that the length may be the reason the difficulty was amped up so much from the relatively easy Myst III. It hides the true length of the game.
Okay, I guess I just made it seem like I don't like the game, but I do. It's the most visually stunning of all of the Myst games (including Myst V), the puzzles are well-done with two or three very frustrating exceptions, and it's my second favorite Myst game behind Riven. Riven is a classic (get the dvd version though, the constant disc-swapping made the original release annoying). That game should be a higher priority, but if you already own it, give this one a try.

the most beautiful, 2007-06-25
also, the most difficult (but you knew that! Didn't you?)... Rand and Robyn Miller, after taking a break (they weren't directly involved with Myst 3), return to drop the most beautiful chapter in the series on you. The environments are truly stunning, with lots of little details that make them seem all the more real- in particular I liked the field of focus option, where objects close to your eye would be subtly blurred unless you scroll directly over them, then they snap into focus..
The story is also a little more engaging too, as Atrus daughter, Yeesha gets kidnapped, and you need to bring her home.. the emotional depth adds alot to this one.
By the way, did I mention the puzzles are TOUGH! lol. But there's nothing like the feeling of having figured them out. And there is a help option, thankfully, and a camera to photograph those hard to remember glyphs...
A work of art.
avoid this title like the plague on X-Box, though! Screen resolution differences made small writing and switches really hard to see, and the mouse to X-Box controller mapping was a mess.

Myst IV - The beat goes on, 2007-06-14
The Myst Series changed the landscape of puzzles forever and Revelation is yet another prodigious chapter in the captivating series. After 15 years of Myst, the awesome imaginations of the authors have not dimmed. Congratulations and thank you for the most entertaining and challenging time spent on my computer.
