Revisiting old times

My first ever video game experience was a free game bundled with some hardware I bought to build my first computer. That was Myst. With Uru, it was fun to do an animated version. Puzzles are quite the challenge even now. I discovered trying to take advantage of my much higher end machine that the old graphics has holes in it. To solve some problems I had to set the graphics lower.

Worst addition to the series

I read somewhere that Uru came out of an attempt to make an MMORPG version in the Myst universe. They added JUMPING (why!?) and the world is 10x larger than it needed to be. It took me about 20 minutes just to walk a full circle around the very first area to find what I needed. That doesn't include the usually being confused and lost at what to do (this is a Myst game after all). The need to change between 1st and 3rd person view complicates navigation astronomically. Luckily I discovered after that 20 minute circut of the first first area that the guy you can talk to in the first are is a hint system (thank god!). The second area I tried I had to use a walkthrough to complete because I messed up and had to leave the Age and found out via the walkthrough that a button I pushed RESET THE PUZZLES and made it impossible to backtrack later if I was missing clues. This is why I'm rating this so low. The story and worlds are designed with the same quality expected of Myst, but unpleasant to play. HOWEVER, you HAVE to play this game to fuly understand Myst V. -sigh- I persist...

One of the best

URU is a great game, if you can dive deep in its world. "Ages Beyond Mist" is a masterpiece of adventure/quest genre. The game is very detailed and beautifully looking. Great sound effects and music just enhance the overall effect of the game

GNUmours of my demise

The game is what remains of a free to play MMO that can still be played and has been long released into the open source/libre domain along with tools to create ages. The main servers for the game still are up and why it is being sold for money when it is free elsewhere is strange, it's still a pretty good game but like the other later games in the myst series falls short in gameplay of the first two.

Love It

Uru is one of the games I keep on my computer. It's a huge game with so many places to explore and see. Originally took over a month, maybe a couple months to complete. I've always been the adventurous type. Spent over a decade backpacking and mountain biking the Sierra Nevada. Weeks into the game found out about Yeesha pages that adds all kinds of things to your home base. Had to go back and reexplore places I'd been. There's so much to find and do i 'm still not sure I've accomplished everything. Sure a few puzzles were tough, but that's what makes it good. Don't want a game you just cruise through with no thinking involved.
