What surprised me about this game is that it has a strong Myst vibe. I love Myst style games and I play any game that is like Myst. But I was expecting a first person puzzle game not like Myst, so it was a pleasant surprise. Aporia beyond the Valley starts as a linear game that feels like a walking simulator where all you do is walk and collect potions. Nothing here like Myst. But after a few hours the game becomes completely non-linear with a huge world to explore filled with all unique puzzles. It was great fun to solve all these puzzles and it had a strong Myst feel to it. The graphics of this game are great too. The game has some horror elements in it but not too much, which is good because I don’t like horror that much. Overall I liked the look and feel of the game. I greatly recommend this game for any Myst fan.

Lovely way to pass the time. Beautiful environments and fun puzzles. The story is interesting and they really put in a lot of effort to make everything feel realistic. I feel that it was a good value for the money and I enjoyed playing .If you live in the real world but keep a summer house on Riven, this one will entertain you. Peace.

The tag is pretty accurate, it is an atmospheric adventure, even though the mysterious story is neither innovative nor amazing, the gameplay is quite immersive, the protagonist is related to the story, but I feel like I was exploring some lost culture like an archaeologist, I watch their past story (like muted living mural) to understand why they vanish, solve the puzzles to see how these old mechanic work. That is to say, the game can inspire our curiosity if we accept its weakness. We are alone except one existence appearing later, but the game has some sound effect like weird scream or cry, thus some players add Horror tag. I think those part of sound effect is unnecessary but acceptable. Here comes the problems. 1. Some add puzzle tag while some add walking simulator tag, both true, because it has puzzles, but they are explicit and easy to follow, basically we see it, we know it can be done anyway. Like I said before, I don't think they want it to be hard, it is all about the story and adventure. So no puzzle challenge at all. 2. The open-world map makes me feel immersive, because some puzzles require huge space, but huge map also means empty, because the missions are very linear except side quests, among which, I think only those shard-collecting puzzles are rewarded. 3. Control is not friendly. No toggle run for such huge map. Rotate operation is really bad. 4. No saving after viewing the story fragments.

In the tradition of games like Riven and Myst, Aporia is a quiet, solitary exploration of a mostly empty ancient ruin of a once thriving civilization. It's never really clear what the purpose of the game is, other than exploration and puzzle solving, but fortunately both aspects are done well and slowly become immersive. The graphics are beautiful, and make clever use of depth of field and tilt-shift focusing to create a sense of breathtaking scale and detail. While the game does suffer a bit from lack of narrative focus, the overall gameplay is enjoyable and addictive. Highly recommended if you're so inclined to play something in the Myst tradition.

Beautiful game. Not really for me though, got bored real quick. Will recommend however as it's not a "bad game".
