Two stars, simply for the story. The Zork games are always chock full of story and irreverent humor, which I personally enjoy. However, this one falls short more than any other title in the franchise. The puzzles don't make sense in many cases, and are downright impossible in most other cases. You can easily get to the end of the game and be stranded simply because you burned an item you needed. You die all the time for the stupidest reasons. The inventory system is clunky, and you'll basically have to click on every new item in combination with all other items just to try and see if you can make something happen. It's just not worth the slog, IMO. If you a fan of Myst, you're gonna hate this game. The only saving grace is the story.
