A step back from the masterpiece that is Riven, Myst 3: Exile returns to the original Myst formula. While the puzzles here are pretty fun to solve, they also feel even more unnatural and "gamey" than in Myst 1. The story, on the other hand, is far better in Exile than in Myst 1 without a doubt. The graphics are pretty nice but sometimes they're too cluttered and they make navigating certain places a bit hard (especially in the jungle age). Overall a pretty solid game, I definitely recommend it to those who liked Myst 1 better than Riven. If, like me, you prefer Riven, then just beware that this is much closer to Myst 1.

Myst 3 Exile is such an underrated game in my opinion. The story is so great. I would say it's nearly as good as Riven. My second favourite. The three ages you link to are beautiful. Yes. Play Exile. I loved it.

This is a really great sequel to Myst. I say sequel to Myst, and not to Riven, because it really is structured in basically the same way as Myst, with one "hub" Age and several Ages that you access from there, as opposed to Riven where 95% of the game takes place on one Age. The puzzles in Exile are kind of contrived in a lot of situations, as opposed to the more immersive way they're integrated in Myst and Riven, where they're not explicitly puzzles. However, there's a decent reason for that built into the game: they were "lesson ages" designed to teach Atrus' sons lessons about writing Ages, so the puzzles were explicitly built as puzzles by Atrus. It still feels a bit lame despite the explanation, but it's forgivable. In regards to the Ages themselves, there is one that I'd consider outstanding, one that I'd consider very good, and one that I'd consider awful. That's Amateria, Voltaic, and Edanna respectively. Edanna's faults lie solely on the graphics. The puzzles themselves are fine; I've got no problem with their design. But there are multiple paths that are nearly invisible, and it makes navigation in that Age incredibly obnoxious. More than once, I got totally lost because I couldn't find paths that I'd been down multiple times already. Edanna alone almost makes me wish for a modern remake of this game in realtime 3D. I'd say the overall difficulty falls somewhere between Riven and Myst. Riven is definitely tougher, with its game-spanning environmental puzzles. But Exile does feel a bit trickier than Myst. It's hard to say how much of that is due to my unfamiliarity with this game compared to Myst, which I've beaten dozens of times. Graphically, Exile is really nice. I'd say Riven actually looks a little nicer, for the most part, but certain skyboxes and lighting interactions really impressed me in Exile. I'm also a really big fan of the "sphere based" navigation system. It makes the game feel a bit closer to being realtime 3D, while still allowing them to pre-render the graphics, to make it look far better than a realtime game could back in 2001. It's super nice to be able to look around in any direction, it feels much more immersive. It feels like the perfect balance between pre-rendered slideshows and realtime 3D environments. Overall this is a really good game that captures the Myst spirit far better than I expected it to, given that it wasn't developed by Cyan. The ending of Riven really kind of wraps the Myst story up nicely, but I'd definitely consider Exile a worthy sequel, and I'd recommend it to any Myst/Riven fan who's been hesitant to try the sequels. oh and shoutout Brad Dourif

Riven is often referred to as the exponent of the Myst saga, which is justified. It's a shame that this sequel falls so short of expectations. Let's start with the (very) good: Brad Dourif's performance is fantastic, gracing the game's atmosphere with a sense of real danger and deep mystery. The look and feeling of the ages is, in general, exquisite, with Amateria standing out; the Voltaic age is, arguably, a tad uninspired. The not so good: the puzzles. Whereas in Riven there is a sense of challenge, in Myst III: Exile the feeling is, for the most part, one of frustration, from start to finish. In particular, I don't even know if we can call the hurdles we encounter in age Edanna puzzles. The only puzzle in that age is navigating the scenery: disorientation is a constant factor. 6/10
