Cyan's best work yet.

I've been a fan of Cyan since Myst 1993. I've played through almost every entry they've released, and many other similar "Myst-likes" and I can say with absolute certainty that this is their best work yet. The original game is a masterclass in worldbuilding, puzzle design, environmental effects, etc., but it did suffer from the node based system that made it somewhat awkward to navigate. The resolution, while great for the time, does leave some wishing it was higher res, more detail. And now we have it. In glorious 4k. On my rig with an aging Ryzen and a 4070, I set the graphics to max and barely dipped below 60 the whole time, running at native 4k. This isn't the most demanding game ever. But it sure is pretty. I can't tell you how many times I found myself audibly mesmerised at the game. It also does have a few changes to the original game that I won't spoil here. If you like the original, Myst, or any other game of this kind, you won't be regretting picking this one up. Honestly, this game might have surpassed almost every other one in the genre, other than The Talos Principle as my all time favorite game ever.

Star Trek™: 25th Anniversary

The start of something amazing

Star Trek: 25th Anniversary was one of the first non-text Star Trek games I ever played. So, it's easy to view it though rose tinted glasses, but in truth, this is a fantastic, if a bit simple, game. Basically, you take control of Kirk, Bones, Spock, McCoy and other characters, and go on missions, just like in the TV Show. The voice acting is great (and more than welcome, considering there is a non-talkie version as well). The music is a fantastic blend of tracks taken directly from the TV Show, with very good quality. The Sound Effects were also borrowed from the show, so you can't get any more authentic than that. The graphics are very well done for the time, this was 1992 after all. Overall, this gets a full 5 Stars from me. While there may be some games out there, even flash or java based ones, that have a similar play style with better graphics, this game does exactly what it sets out to do, it immerses you in the Star Trek Universe and lets you make all the decisions. I highly recommend it for old players wanting to play it again without fishing out the disks, or for new players who never got to experience it. The gameplay is completely timeless (and besides, with all the new pixelated indie games out there these days, this fits right in).

The Labyrinth of Time

A classic

The Labyrinth of Time is a "Point and Click" Adventure in the vain of Rhem, or MYST. The biggest difference between them is that this has an Inventory, more like the Zork Adventures. It has great music, as well as pre-rendered 3D graphics, though they are not as detailed as MYST. This game takes place across time, in King Minos' Labyrinth (in case you could not guess). You will explore a modern city, a western town, a moon base, and more. I highly recommend it. Just remember to save often, as there are a few things you can do to make the game unbeatable.

Hocus Pocus

A DOS Classic... A Must Play

I was 3 when this game came out, and my family never actually purchased it. However, this game came from a time when Shareware meant something. It meant that you had a full game to play. If you wanted more, you bought additional episodes. This game was one of my favorites. I played it for hours on end, followed by Jill of the Jungle and Jazz Jackrabbit. The game itself has a simple concept. Find all the crystals. There was no time limit, just a bunch of baddies. You shot lightning bolts from your finger tip, and you could get special items to give you Rapid fire, or the ability to shoot faster. There was also a TON of treasure in this game, as well as several hidden areas per level. There were puzzles, such as putting 3 or 4 or more switches all in the right positions to open the path forward, wall blocks that could be shot to find a hidden room, and so on. All in all, this is a great game. And for all the hours I played it, I never fell through the floor, never found any game breaking bugs, nothing. It is a solid Platformer, and if you like the idea of mixing Pitfall with Mario and Megaman, you are going to have a great time. Also, its 6 bucks, how much cheaper do you want it?
