Cyan has some dang fine graphics designers. The graphics were astounding. I kept getting lost in my next task because I just wanted to walk through their worlds. The puzzles, to me, were not as difficult as Myst. But, they were challenging. I had to break out the logic module in my brain and start figuring out how to move pieces on the board to get to my next task. Everything seems to compare to Myst. But, Myst was a masterpiece in its time. Especially for us who are still wandering the Caverns of D'ni. This games has an old feeling, but the puzzles were contemporary. Even with the Steampunk vibe, I loved it. I think for Myst players, the puzzles didn't seem as hard. But, the complaint among a number of gamers is that Cyan puzzles are very hard. So, they don't spend the money on something they may not be able to advance in. For me, Cyan balanced absolutely breathtaking graphics with good solid puzzles. Those of us who are used to the Cyan game puzzles probably went through it more quickly than players who have never played Myst or Obduction. But, it gives new gamers a chance to experience the beauty of the game without feeling hopelessly lost in the puzzles. I'm hoping a new generation of gamers give this a chance to flex their grey matter and immerse themselves in this game. To me, it was truly worth it. And, I would purchase any game Cyan puts out. Are there glitches... yes. Will they get patched... more than likely. But, Damn.... what a ride!! Thanks Cyan. More please....
