Myst 5 in 2012
End of Ages is a very good game. It has its problems, yet holds up well. With Win7 64bit there were no problems to report. Just install and play. No need to do any extra configuring. The graphics are still quite good (in options you may need slide the settings up to max). Personally, I very much dislike the move away from fmv of earlier games but its tolerable. Overall, I was impressed how good it still looks. The gameplay in this one allows from slideshow to free movement thanks to the 3d engine. I have always been disappoint in this as Riven (for example) looks better and is still just a fun if not more so. There are also various bugs such as the tablet creatures becoming stuck along with the tablet or even just the tablet. Also, the writing done on the tablet can be very picky causing you to redraw over and over again until its just right. There are no tutorials on what you need to put on the tablet, what to even do with it, or even what its for, so be prepared to be confused - it does take a while to learn what it can AND can't do. Some of the puzzles were too much work for me, I really dislike the one puzzle where you have to go all over the place to gather into needed for it. And a few other puzzles I would have never tried the solution. Another puzzle I tried everything including the actual answer but nothing got the result - it wasn't until looking up what the answer was that prompted another try where it finally worked. And yet another one I actually did have the answer but didn't know it. Other puzzles I completed without even doing them as intended. And one whole age I completed in two hours or so (which is less time than I spent on being stuck on just one puzzle listed above that I had no working solution for). You will be puzzled with this puzzle game. Even for 2012 its still a fun game. The story line is ok. I obviously don't like the story direction with Myst V and Uru so they will never receive higher scores than the first three Myst games [imo] - that and the lack of fmv, and the change to an 3d engine which just doesn't offer the incredible look of the earlier games. The ending also isn't as good. So I recommend if your looking into Myst like games. It has its problems but holds up well enough to enjoy.
