I Love the Myst/Uru Universe...
Anything Cyan made/make/will make I will definitely buy. I like how you can run shards in URU CC. They do have Myst Online Uru Live (mystonline.com) for free if anyone is interested, we're trying to get the word out so that Cyan Worlds will still see this as an investment!

Unique Experience
It's hard to really explain this game, as it's not quite the same as any of the other Myst titles. Instead, it almost feels like you are exploring a museum of sorts, the remnants of a game that was 'supposed to be.' A lot of the game takes place in the ruins of an ancient city, exploring different ages and solving puzzles like you would in any other Myst game, but there is something about the atmosphere of the world itself that makes it feel like you are not only exploring the city, but the game itself and what it could have (should have?) been. The environments are beautiful for the time this came out, and there is a lot of exploring to do. If you play Myst Online: Uru Live, you can still run into other players and talk to them once you find your communication device.

Uru is incredible
There are seemingly endless places in different worlds to explore and puzzles to solve. Nice graphics, if a bit dark. You can always just go in to your favorite world and walk around if you don't feel like solving puzzles at the moment. Lots of fun!

Art in motion
I absolutely love this game, and I was devastated when my hard copy stopped working on newer computers... And then this! This game is very immersive and atmospheric. Great to play with headphones and all the lights out. This was the first Myst game that strayed from the first person only gameplay format. It was way ahead of it's time. If you like solving puzzles while viewing truly epic and artistic scenery then this game is for you.

Hunt the wall hangings.
Really disappointed buying this. I had it as a kid, but had no memory of it so decided to buy it after really enjoying myst, riven and exile all over again. Uru does have some pleasing aesthetics, but the game shows you touching wall hangings (there is a pointless explanation at the start) in every age to open a master door is the order of proceedings. It's not that bad of an idea, but the game controls are horrible and awkward. Your avatar is wooden and clunky. Early on there are things you have to push around with your feet which you have no ability to pick up. The camera will randomly take you on a cinematic adventure as you are forced to watch your avatar do something even when you ticked the option to stay in first person. I guess this wasn't as bad at launch and the graphics probably smoothed out some of the games other issues, but moving your character around is not a pleasant experience. The other node based games in the series make you feel excited, ready for adventure and relaxed. Uru makes you tear your hair out as your avatar pings over a box or while having to use third person mode because trying to jump in first person is impossible the camera will deceive you and your avatar will jump gaily into a random patch of thin air. I'm so glad obduction exists and the team came back on form because uru was a real miss step for the genre. The final kick in the teeth I discovered you can get uru live still - essentially the same game for free. Wasted money.
