Years ago, I played a fantastic, puzzle-solving fantasy adventure called Myst. Alas, I never completed the game, and thought the opportunity long gone. Then came the Myst 25th anniversary, and I joyfully discovered that it had been remastered for newer PCs!

This edition even has upgraded graphics from the original, and (especially nice for those used to movement in newer games) a free roam mode. All of the wonderful logic- and observation- based puzzle solving is exactly as I remember it - engaging, interesting, challenging, and tons of fun! I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys puzzles and brain teasers!

Also, make sure to save right before turning in the final page. That way you can play out all four possible endings and enjoy the experience to the fullest. ;)

This is the kind of game you play "just once" with a friend and get hooked. There's everything: farming, fishing, combat, mining, dungeons, building, decorating, crafting, quests, and even an in-depth social system with every townsfolk having their own, unique relationship with you. You can even marry someone and raise a family (though I haven't played that far yet). What makes this game even better? No one part of it is "necessary" for a fun gaming experience, and you can take everything at whatever pace you want! No pressure, no stress, and an insane amount of content to explore and enjoy. 10/10

Definitely not what you'd expect based on initial impressions - even knowing there was a big "twist" in the plot, it still threw me off. Unique game, definitely recommended! I played through completion and got all three endings, so that I could fully experience what the game had to offer.

In-depth puzzle / mechanical game, where you both build your machines and program them. The puzzles gradually increase in difficulty, so it's easier to keep pace with them. Each puzzle you beat unlocks more dialogue for the story. The story and characters are a lot of fun, too! Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys coding, machinery, puzzles, or just likes a challenge!

Love this game! So many different strategies you can use, and so many different countries to play as, each with their own unique bonuses. Highly recommended, both for solo and and with friends!

Fun puzzles! Challenging, but not too hard, and there are hints if you need them. Tons of funny and cool achievements you can get! Levels can be done single-player, but some of them are a lot easier in multi-player. Love playing this solo trying to get achievements, and trying to solve puzzles with friends! Plus, very cool customization tool for your persona.

Realistic survival game - lots of ways to die: starvation, dehydration, freezing, heat stroke, drowning, ect. Plus being eaten by one of the many carnivorous creatures. You get to learn new skills and crafting recipes, and tame animals and dinos to help you survive! So far I only have one Dilo, but I can imagine what a pack of dangerous dinos would be like! Great challenge, love this game! And if it's a bit too hard for when you're learning how to play, you can just fiddle with your world settings - and vice versa if you want to make the game harder.

I loved this game! Compelling storyline, challenging puzzles, and a good bit of comedy here and there. Definitely recommended!
