  • Summary: Within the visually awe-inspiring world of Myst, a gripping family drama will slowly unfold. A little girl disappears, her two brothers are suspected, and it is clear that their story is far from over. Players will escape into the adventure as they attempt to solve the mystery and discover the fate of the two villainous brothers, Sirrus and Achenar. Understanding their motives is the key to the investigation which will lead to a true "revelation." Myst IV Revelation will take players into the twisted minds and worlds of two evil brothers, deep inside an intense family drama, and immerse them within a visually stunning environment. The storyline is very suspenseful, the puzzles are compelling, and the music, produced by Jack Wall in partnership with Peter Gabriel, will create an unparalleled experience. [Ubisoft] Expand

  1. While not creating anything new, per se, Ubisoft has taken the venerable Adventure Game and, once again, raised it to a new height.
  2. With fantastic visual and audio elements (setting a new standard), an engrossing story, an intuitive interface, and amazing overall polish, Myst IV Revelation has all the makings of a real winner. However, the tortuous difficulty posed by many of the puzzles, even for those with considerable logical abilities, detracts from the mainstream appeal of this offering.
  3. Slow, tiresome and, fundamentally, a bit broken. [PC Gamer UK]

    Beautiful graphics, beautiful music, wonderful acting and a well planned and thought out storyline, which is presented in a clear, interesting manner. If you buy only one game this year, buy this one. Expand

    This game is not for everyone! very hard, the puzzles are next to impossible to solve, unless you have a hint book with you. Other then the great graphics and sound the game does offer much when it comes to gameplay. Expand

    After 10 hours of playing the thrill is yet to be found. As bad as Uru if not worse. A total failure. A cheating on Myst and Riven.
