Thank you, Tweek ... What an excellent, short (read:understandable) and coherent chronological recap or breakdown of the 'events' around Myst and what is called the Myst series (incl. End of Ages officially lol), Riven and Uru ... I never really understood this lol ...
As I didn't grow up with Myst, this isn't my favorite one (I started with Cryo games which I loved), though the story was interesting and I wanted to know it for a better understanding of the other games in the series ... The same applies to Riven, though Riven you cannot really compare to Myst, it is more complex and of an absolute gorgeous beauty, but the puzzles were too difficult and I don't like point-and-click, means screen to screen navigation, but I loved to explore and admire its awesomeness with the help of a walkthrough lol ...
I liked Myst Exile very much, but even more the beauty and story with Yeesha in Tomahna and her brothers and the Dreamworlds etc. of Myst Revelation ... One (as for myself) could in general see a steady increase in graphics, navigation quality etc., and Myst V - End of Ages was creepy for me lol, but this was just the best as for free exploration and the graphics, the light bubbles for teleportation, the magic tablet etc. and esp. for the end of it all, where I, yes I haha, was able to free the Bahro, which delightedly spread its wings and would then soar into its final freedom ... Wow ... Then came (Until) Uru (in 2006 for me), which was a perfect continuation for me as for free exploration, being myself with the choice of toggling first and third person (I like those lovely avis lol) and exploring and having fun with fellow explorers around the world etc ...
Yeah, that's my Myst/Riven/Uru story in short ... What to choose as a preference now ... If I had to, I'd say Myst Revelation as I cannot choose Uru/MOUL here lol, Riven in 3D with free roaming and exploring would be something though, Myst V is great too in a way despite the creepiness, esp. for Todelmer ...
