Having just played the rerelease of Myst and hopping over to Firmament afterwards, I have to say, I'm quite disappointed. The puzzles themselves are not too bad, if a little finnicky sometimes because of the targeting of the Adjunct (your tool to solve most puzzles), and they were generally fun, but what felt like it was underdeveloped was the world and the story. We have this narrator of sorts (with just okay-at-best voice acting, which was already a rough choice for the game), leading us through this world to complete tasks as we are apparently supposed to as is our character's job. And then the narrator tells us a little tiny bit about the past in various locations, and then there's a quick twist at the end once you've done everything, that I don't want to say "came out of nowhere" but it just feels inconsequential at best? And then finding out that a lot of the "background details" were AI assisted, all the letters and journals and such you can find in the background, which just speaks to me about the level which they didn't care about the world they were creating. When I backed this game on Kickstarter, this was not the type of Cyan game I backed. I didn't want a puzzle game thrown together with little regard for the world it takes place in, I wanted a game where the gameplay and the world are inextricable from each other. This game, unfortunately, just fell flat for me.

EDIT: having read up on Cyan's responses to the AI assistance stuff, i want to add an addendum here. Apparently, they only used it for ideation and trying new things out, and created and wrote everything themselves. Then I guess they just actively wrote a pretty underwhelming world and game. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that the weak parts came from their overreliance on AI but if their official claim is that all actual texts and such in the game are written by humans well then they're just not very good, which sucks.

Don't lookup anything about this game. Just play it, and let it take you on a journey. What a game.

Delightful escape room game - definitely the best of its kind that I've played so far, with fun characters and writing, and puzzles that I could see used in a real escape room (even the ones that get a bit more deadly than a real escape room could be). If you like enjoy puzzles and/or escape rooms, you'll love this

NITE Team 4 is easily one of my favourite games. I've been supporting it since the Early Alpha stages, and not only are the devs extremely hardworking, but they're also very responsive to the community. The game is so intricately made that you can lose yourself for days, and the player-made hiveminds give you even more and completely different uses of the tools you thought you'd gotten used to, so there's never a boring moment.

The Black Watchmen is one of my all tome favourite games. Since I started playing at the beginning of last year, I have been stuck in the community, filled with some of the nicest people I know. The way the game is styled forces you to think and make connections, and I've had so much fun. The Black Watchmen is a one of a kind experience and I can't wait for more.

There's not much I can say about this game, except for the fact that it is an absolute masterpiece, and anyone who hasn't played it should be ashamed of themselves. It's that good, and I really don't say things like that lightly. There are really only valid two reasons for not playing this game, which are hating point and click games, and having absolutely no sense of humor. If neither of those things apply to you, then the chance that you will not love this game is absolutely tiny.
