The only Myst game I have never finished
Oh Spire timed puzzle how I loathe thee... I should love Myst IV Revelation, it's essentially a game full of mechanical puzzles which is the kind of thing I adore, disguised as being more by having a very pretty environment and a story wrapped around it, but I just can't ever bring myself to complete it, I've tried 4 or 5 times now and the same thing happens, I spend a certain amount of time frustratingly fighting against the controls and the game itself and after a while when I hit a particularly tricky problem I finally realise that I find the "story" (what there is, which isn't much) is not engaging me in the slightest, and I just can't face yet more hours of frustration to get to the end of a game I don't care about and so uninstall it. I'm writing this having just uninstalled it again in frustration. So here's why I dislike it: 1) Because the game runs at full screen, on large monitors the "beautiful" graphics look awful and pixelated, and you miss clues because things are hard to see (reading d'ni, a trapped rock, a pathway, how many notches you've just moved that slider) 2) The game interface is so slooow, having to backtrack to see if you've missed something is painful as there is a lag between each screen which becomes more and more frustrating. Your cursor hand takes too long before changing to show an interaction so if you're scannng a scene you can miss vital clues because the cursor didn't change quick enough to tell you you were over something. The cursor hand is too clumsy for fine movements so that trying to move sliders and leavers is an exercise in patience and frustration, and in timed puzzles is god awful (I hate you Spire) 3) Some puzzles are too ambiguous (yes you've got the right names but unknown to you you're putting them in in the wrong order, but we will never tell you that... no the sliders start at 1 not 0 but we never tell you that either, so you slooowly backtrack and backtrack looking for clues that aren't there). Not for me.
