![]() Hint: there are multiple levels on the valves, and you're standing on an elevator. It turns out that you need to get a generator going and eventually fill an airship with steam. I didn't remember a whole lot about this age. Voltaic is an age that is all about energy. It might be easier than the original Myst! Every switch I recall coming across, I flipped (I can't think of any exceptions). Most puzzles seemed to have more than a trivial amount of difficulty, but nothing like Riven or anything. ![]() Granted, I read all the journals I could find, and they documented the world better than the ones in Riven (though in a much darker tone). I must have grown since then, since I kept solving these one by one fairly easy. I recall that I had difficulty with these puzzles back in the day. In order to prove that you solved an age, it will reveal a symbol. This barren place is J'nanin, a hub age that links to four others that Atrus hoped would teach his sons four important concepts about world building. You learned in the first Myst that those two did this to countless worlds this man's story is, unfortunately, not unique. By this point, you've learned what happened to him, and how Sirrus and Achenar (Atrus' sons) tortured him after they pillaged his world and killed everyone. When you break into the tower, the guy links away into another book, and seals it away. But when he gathers some last few things, some barbarian pops into his study, sets most things on fire, and steals the master book of this new home! You link to a barren island, but can't catch up to this guy before he runs into a tower. You meet your old pal Atrus, because he invited you to take a tour of the new home age he wrote for his scattered people. Over 15 years later, and after playing Riven, it is an absolute no they might as well be separate. Since I heard that Riven was so difficult, I wondered if skipping directly to 3 would spoil things. I was intrigued, so I ponied up the 10 bucks to buy it. I would've taken some of the lichen from the upper levels and added them around the nearly impossible to spot turn on the lowest level.Sometime in the bad old days (around 2003), I found Myst 3 in a discount bin at the local Big Lots. Out of all these I think the biggest crime is not being able to tell where to go. The ending cutscene, while not as cool as Amateria's, is pretty cool still It has some subtlety - there are lamps taken from Amateria to light some areas for example, and there's a burn spot where the sun flower had been pointing for so long It serves as an explanation for how Saavedro was able to have enough resources to survive for so long - and how he got a leaf for a hammock It looks nice as does everything in Myst 3 It's an interesting concept to have a forest inside of a tree On the other hand, there is some good there. It's possible to solve all the puzzles without knowing what you're trying to do It's very linear in an otherwise non-linear game ![]() The lifeforms should be unpredictable, but always behave as the puzzle solutions The lifeforms feel like they only exist for the sake of the puzzles The pathways are too confusing in a pre-rendered game The lighting is too dark to see where you're going on lower levels I've seen it face heavy criticism for a number of reasons.
