3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, 1 Jan 2006
Perhaps if you've never played a Myst game before, then this one might seem pretty. But I think the storyline could be very confusing to the uninitiated.

Having played the previous Myst games and loved them, I was heartily disappointed with End of Ages, and I can only assume that the manufacturers are tired of the franchise and rushed the final chapter so they could move on to something else. I found that the final Age seemed half finished and the movement was jerky, unlike the smooth transitions of the beginning of the game.

My recommendation: try the other Myst games instead. You won't be sorry.

3.0 out of 5 stars Such a letdown., 29 Sep 2005
By Stephanie Noverraz "crooty" (Lausanne, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This is almost insulting. I'm outraged.

I've been a fan of the Myst series since Riven, always eager to immerse in the stunning, utterly beautiful sceneries, and there to push switches and pull levers, to tackle the mind-boggling puzzles that would lead me to more dream-like places.

And I was a bit disappointed when Uru came out, with its real-time, third-person interface, because it wasn't exactly was I was expecting, graphically. But then, it was advertised as a side-quest, so I didn't mind too much, especially when Myst IV: Revelation came out with its good ol' QuickTime VR and video-overlaid characters.

So when I heard that Myst V: End of Ages was coming out, and that it'd be the last episode, I really expected the series to end with a flourish. Admittedly, I was slightly surprised by the rather short, one-year gap since the previous instalment, but I trustfully put it down to technical progress.

Well I was wrong.

Visually, Myst V: End of Ages is closer to Uru. Again they traded the QuickTime VR for a first-person navigation that allows you to look around as you walk from point to point. As you might deduce, this real-time rendering implies models with a lower polygon count, and lightmaps. What is gained in movement fluidity (which, by the way, is not required to solve puzzles à la Myst) is lost in image quality, putting the whole trademark atmosphere in jeopardy.

Same story for the characters you meet throughout the game, who are now CG with a video mapped on their face. It's ugly. The Motion Capture hasn't been corrected, or not enough, and the characters' feet are either sliding or entering the ground. They also tried to impress us with cloth movements, but with such a low polygon count you can often see it go through the characters' legs. Really, what were they thinking?

As for the puzzles, even though a couple of them were a bit tricky (but mostly because the symbol I drew on the tablet wasn't quite accurate), they were for the most part repetitive and unchallenging. Proof is, I finished the game in one day.

This is such a letdown.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slightly lacking, 25 April 2006
By Patrick Naish "Computer Freak" (Newbury, Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
After having played all the other Myst games, I was a bit underwhelmed by this one. Yes, it has "amazing graphics" and "a brand new level of interaction" but the storyline is weak. It's sad, but it seems to me that this game was hurried and not thought out well.
That isn't to say that I didn't enjoy playing it - it was brilliant. My PC is quite low-end and it worked fine, even with my awful integrated graphics. Sadly though, you are hurried from place to place, and I noticed an irritating glitch which made me lose lots of progress.
I expected this to be an improvement on the fantastic Myst IV, and was let down. Still worth buying, if you've played the others, however.
