    You could not ask for more but the bottom line will be that this is a slow moving adventure game and will possibly appeal only and primarily to avid ‘adventure’ gamers!

    Exile is just an exercise that lacks the energy to make anyone ebullient. But that isn’t to say it’s not damn pretty.

    This is a franchise for those who like games entirely cerebral, with no need for reflexes or marksmanship.

As usual, fairly descent acting from Rand Miller as Atrus, and a surprise in Brad Dourif (who played Wormtongue in Lord of the Rings) as the exile. I won't get into too much detail, since whatever in this game isn't story is plot, but you will once again find yourself solving all sorts of puzzles involving light, kinematics, power and energy, and a paradise. The only real complaint I have is that the 360 degree camera is a little disconcerting at first, especially after the immobile camera of Myst and Riven: The Sequel to Myst. But you get used to it pretty fast and I soon appreciated the full range of motion it gives.

    By the way, I think the entire Myst series is very underrated and extremely under-played. I would definitely recommend the entire series to any casual puzzle gamer.    … Full Review »

    Прекрасные локации, прекрасный саундтрек, простой геймплей.
    Итог: 10/10. Возможно 4 часть будет ещё лучше.    Прекрасные локации, прекрасный саундтрек, простой геймплей.
