The JAVE - Myst III Exile

Point-n-Click, Fantasy 360° movement

2001

First Person
"The game begins with a brief introduction, where we once again see the contemplative Atrus pondering the vicissitudes of his family and the various worlds that he creates with his books. It was a real plus to get Rand Miller, the very reluctant actor, to reprise his role as the Age-creating philosopher. His presence instantly gives the game an air of authenticity.

"Soon you are visiting Catherine and Atrus in their new home in Tomahna. After only a few minutes, however, an unknown figure appears out of nowhere and steals the very book Atrus was about to show you, dropping another book that he had used to get here. As per your friend's instructions, you place your hand on the magical book and are transported to your first Age to explore, Jnanin.

"As you begin to wander around the gorgeous island and begin tinkering with the game's first puzzles, you get a tremendously satisfying feeling. Specifically, the feeling is one of rightness, and it comes from the correct balance of two factors: first, that you're in an honest-to-D'ni Myst game; and second, that while recognizable as such, it's still a very new game in its own right. Too much or too little of either feeling would have made playing Exile an unsettling experience, and the fact that this vital balance is correct is Presto's greatest achievement with Exile..." -

A+
