![]() ![]() That’s a huge problem this game has: half the characters talk like they’re in a period costume drama and the other half use modern American slang. Plus, her dialogue is peppered with anachronisms. Yeesha (Juliette Gosselin) is about ten years old and is so cute and plucky that you can’t help but want to smack her. “This franchise can totally benefit from an adorable and overly precocious child!” said no smart-thinking person ever. Catherine is elsewhere but Atrus’s daughter, Yeesha, is around, and.ugh. Damn, Atrus! I guess if you can write a world into being, you can award yourself a first-class pad. ![]() Tomanha is now much bigger, and is a fucking dream home: a series of handsome wrought-metal buildings connected by walkways around a central lake, complete with observatory, greenhouse, kitchen/den, separate bedroom suites, and secret passages. Hokay, so, you arrive in the Age of Tomanha to visit Atrus’s family, just like in the last game. Believe me, I love Revelation I just have to accept that it faceplants when it comes to telling a compelling and non-derpy story. Basically it’s just that the entire plot and all the characters suck nothing major. So this is a damn good entry that is hurt by some huge flaws. This game and this other one look very promising maybe they’ll even show some mercy to us filthy, depraved, scumbag Mac users! In the meantime, here’s Myst IV: Revelation, my personal last hurrah with the series. It does give me some hope that there are current developers out there who, thanks to technological improvements and crowd-funding, can actually follow in the footsteps of Myst. These games are so beautiful to look upon. Yeah, you can replay them after you’ve had time to forget all the puzzle solutions, but you miss the initial sense of wondrous discovery, each new Age unfolding before your big moist eyeballs. ![]() It makes me sad that the Myst series is so fleeting it really does. Myst IV: Revelation - Bullshit In Paradise ![]()
