    A great game, maybe the best one of the Myst series so far. Beautiful graphics, intelligent, sophisticated puzzles and an awesome storyline. If you are an Adventure- or Puzzle-fan, this is a must-have!

    Best yet by Cyan - heartbroken to learn this is their last. Has inspired me to build my own game in realtime 3d(using 3dgs) Hard work but it's the only way i can get what I want and share with like minded others.

    Beautiful graphics, really good sound and music, gripping story and interesting characters. This game is really, really good, it's an amazing conclusion to the series, and a great experience even for those new to the series.

    A beautiful and satisfying that falls just short of greatness. The puzzles are challenging, solid, and logical. The world's are beautiful and immersive. The tablet system (at least how its implemented) was a terrible idea, nearly causing me to quit the game prematurely at one point.

    One day it should have happened, and Myst goes fully 3D, which is controversial, maybe, but the spirit of the Myst is here, and it's beautiful, and puzzles are challenging, and all, that should be in the Myst, is here.

    One of the best puzzles games of all times. The legend of the Myst series will always live in our hearts.

    Every change to the Myst formula, from the tablets to the varied control schemes, make End of Ages one of the best entries in the series. And the visuals and sound rank among the series' best as well. Highly recommended to Myst fans and plain adventure fans alike.

    I don't want to ruin things for you but just let me say that I was expecting a better conclusion to wrap up such a memorable series. But as with most puzzle-oriented game it's the journey and not the destination that makes it all worthwhile. And it's been one hell of a good ride.
