Neyyah

Great landscapes and environment. Takes me back to Myst days.

8/10 I was delighted to see a new Myst-like game with beautiful worlds and challenging puzzles. Bravo to the developers for such an ambitious project. The Good -The environments are stunning and give the "not of this Earth" feeling (the best Myst-type games take people to strange new worlds) -There is a good variety of puzzle types ranging from simple to "my brain hurts" -It gives you the option to have zero help to a more detailed help system (which I certainly used) -Fast movement option is a great add -There is a lot of gameplay for the money, as the map is massive and there are lots of places to explore -The atmospheric music is perfectly matched to the game What to Improve -The environment is way too spread out and it can be a major challenge to get around (better to have contained mini-worlds where the inventory and clues are limited to those areas) -The game was too Myst-like with the volumes and volumes of dense text and too much "foreign" jargon...keep it simple -Computers had too many layers of menus and clicks to reach important info -You can spend hours walking around without any idea what you are supposed to do (despite the hint system) or attempting to solve puzzles that have clues that are not available until much later in the game I understand some of the criticism in the negative reviews, and there were certainly moments in this game where I was just spending hours walking around without a clue what to do and I was frustrated. But then I would unlock a new door or go through a portal that took me to a new place, and I was back on track. In this way, this game is very much like Myst, which can be a rollercoaster of frustration and satisfaction. Overall, I loved this game and hope they make more.

Talk about wearing your heart (or inspiration) on your sleeve, this could very well be a missing link in the Myst Library. I had a great time with this and was sorry when it was all over. It's a little too short for my liking but that could just be because I stayed up all night playing it and got really into the groove. If you've ever enjoyed Myst or any of the other Cyan Titles, you'll LOVE Neyyah. I promise you that!

Visually disappointing, clunky, and most importantly bugged to the point where my playthrough became unplayable. I don't like walkthroughs but I used one to verify that I was in fact irrevocably stuck. That's ok because I found it more frustrating to navigate than it was worth anyway. There was something I needed to have interacted with, but didn't, and could not return to that areas. What's worse is that I was quite convinced I needed to interact with that item (some papers in a wall-mounted document holder), but I could not, from any view/angle/pointer location do so, leading me to conclude it was just decoration despite looking really clickable. It was supposed to be clickable.

Das Spiel hat eine schöne Grafik, entspannende Musik mit einer guten Melodien, echte Schauspieler (anders als im Remake zu Riven), die Rätsel machen Spaß, eine dichte Atmosphäre und eine gut ausgearbeitete Story. Ich kann das Spiel voll und ganz empfehlen, ist für jeden etwas dabei, der Point & Click Adventures aus der Egoperspektive mag. Ich spiele jetzt seit 13 Stunden und komme gut voran (wie das immer so ist bei solchen Spielen, ein paar Stunden steckt man an einer Stelle fest, dann kommt einem eine Idee und manchmal zündet die). Ich kann nur empfehlen die höchsten der 3 Schwierigkeitsgrade auszuwählen, also ohne Hilfen, dann hat man das volle Myst-Feeling. Ich hoffe diese Entwicklerfirma sammelt mit dem Spiel viel Geld ein, damit sie noch mehr von solchen Spielen rausbringt, ich finde es super.

Tremendously fun puzzles with astonishing scenery and graphics. Very reminiscent of Myst.

Its a great game! A worthy memeber of the Myst and Quern family Should be played the hardets way with so few hints as possible (Master Your Adventure)! If you like me love Riven, you too wold love this game! Its made with a nostalgick tutch. Tha same type of UI as Myst and Riven. (with Qicktime-feeling)

très bon jeux !
