The Myst games have been loved by many for over fifteen years now. As I've read the reviews of this game, many people say it's different from the other games - too different. I agree; it is very different - yet very similar at the same time.
The game starts out with Atrus telling you about his worries of D'ni (the underground civilization of the Myst games) and his daughter Yeesha. Then the game starts, and you are in the chamber that was once Atrus's prison at the end of the first Myst game. On Atrus's old desk, the Myst book is locked up. As you progress downward through the old mansion called K'veer in D'ni, you find an odd-looking bubble. When you enter it, you touch a shimmering slab of rock on a pedestal, and an odd noise sounds through the whole chamber. You leave the bubble, and Yeesha links in front of you telling you about "The Quest." The main objective is to free the Tablet which has responded to you and, if you wish, has the power to restore D'ni. Then she links you to the desert, where you meet Esher.
Esher tells you Yeesha wants the Tablet, but he says not to give it to her. Then you go downward into a network of tunnels leading to D'ni. As the game progresses, you discover more and more about Yeesha and Esher. But you must decide who to trust in the end.
There are four main ages in the game. I don't want to spoil them for you, but I'll say that in each one you find a differently-shaped slate. Your objective is to carry it to the Keep, at an unknown place in the age. If you've played any other Myst games before, you'll know that doing this won't be easy. You'll have to solve a series of complex puzzles. But one of the coolest things is that you can actually draw symbols on the slates to communicate with a race of odd-looking creatures - the Bahro. You can actually have them change the environment and the like. You can see how this can open a door to some pretty unique puzzles. Unfortunately, the slate is heavy, and certain switches cant be pulled when you're holding the slate. Also, you can't climb with the slate either. This opens up more unique puzzle solving.
The interface of Myst V: End of Ages will seem very similar yet very different at the same time, much like the rest of the game. You can play three different ways: The first is Classic Mouse-Click mode, which is like Myst and Riven, in which you click the sides of the screen to turn, and the center of the screen to walk forward. The second is Classic Plus mode, which is like Myst III: Exile and Myst IV: Revelation, in which you move the mouse to look around, and click to walk forward in the direction you're facing. The third is Free-Move mode, which is like Uru, in which you move around freely using the arrow keys of WASD. However, Myst V: End of Ages is the first Myst game besides Uru to use Realtime, so the environments are actually constructed, instead of just being made of individual "slides" like the others. In this way, you actually move forward, instead of the screen just changing to the next slide. Also, the characters are computer-generated using face-mapping, and not live actors like the others.
So all in all, Myst V: End of Ages is a great way to end the Myst series. If you've played the other Myst games, you must finish the story up in this game. Even if you're new to the series, this is a great game. I recommend you play the other games before this one, or at least read up about the story, because a lot of things may not make sense to you in this one if you don't. But nonetheless, Myst V: End of Ages is a grand adventure for anybody.
