Neyyah

J'adore cet univers et toutes ces énigmes, ce jeu est très bien fait, un bon casse tête mais on y arrive! ayant jouer à Myst j'ai retrouvé un peu de ce jeu dans Neyyah! j'ai aimé le fait de voyager à bord de plusieurs engins et d'aller sur plusieurs îles différentes! J'ai fais ce jeu 2 fois et je pense que je le referai une autre fois! donc je le recommande si vous aimez les énigmes et ce genre d'univers! Je souhaite en trouver d'autres du même genre!

Desperately wanted to like Neyyeh as a fan of Myst-style games, but this just didn't work for me. The writing didn't immerse me, with too much text everywhere, full of made up names of people and places that come across as babble. Puzzles are ok, but the explorable area is too big and it's hard to know what to do. Some attempt is made to avoid this with the Travellers Guide, but even that contains too much information. The environments are pretty but repetitive. Multiple odd design decisions eg no autosave, illegible text can be swapped with legible text but you have to click on it every time... Altogether just not that enjoyable.

I join those who regret to give this a thumbs-down. I sought this game because it has the delightfully old-fashioned point-and-click interface (and it's beautiful), but it's also old-fashioned in being confusing. Perhaps it's my mistake in playing on the hard difficulty. If I were a 'copyeditor' asked to mark this game up with a red pen, I'd cut down on the red herrings, make it easier to use the map (so many portals), and remove those darn sound effects from the menu.

Cà fait des années que je suis le créateur qui nous avait montré des photos de certains paysages du jeu tout en le développant et finalement en le commercialisant. Bien que l'inspiration vienne clairement de Riven (plans d'eau, bruits d'eau et de bois qui craque), ce jeu a aussi son caractère propre. La prise de notes automatique dans le jeu est aussi un plus (pas besoin de tout noter dans un cahier), C'est aussi paramétrable. On peut jouer sans. Après 4h de jeu je ne me lasse pas.... Juste un bémol...qui aurait pu être corrigé pendant les bétas par les développeurs: le curseur "avance rapide" (pour accéder rapidement à un lieu éloigné) ne devrait s'activer qu'une fois le chemin déjà fait une fois !

Neyyah feels like it's from an alternate dimension where 1990's point-and-click adventure games continued to be honed and refined (and updated as technology would allow). It's got all the charm of classic 90's adventure titles, but also benefits from a few decades of advances on the pre-rendered graphics side. The environment art is rich, gorgeous, and inventive, and the gameplay will bring you right back to that warm feeling of sifting through details screens for clues, and scratching notes down on real paper like it's 1993 again. Definitely worth a look.

Im a MYST and Puzzle game FAN! and this game was AMAZING, NOSTAGLIC, (a little low budget sometimes and it showed but thats OKAY) but honestly truly challenging, i have six pages of notes just to get through it! highly reccomend for puzzle fans!

I'll cautiously recommend this, as long as you know what you're getting. Read other reviews as well. And unless you are WAY more patient/hardcore than I am, be prepared to consult online walkthroughs. It definitely fulfilled the Myst/Riven nostalgia hit that I expected and was looking for, right down to the the "clickinng around a world of static 2d artwork" style of navigation. There were eeven some more modern updates that were never present in the older adventure games. I did really appreciate the Traveller's Guide feature (basically "automatic observation and note taking"), the Main Goals list that auto-updated as you progressed, and the built-in maps that became available once you reach new sections of each island. It definitely reduced the amount of note-taking gruntwork, though it certainly didn't eliminate the need entirely. But this is not as escape room type of experience where things stay relatively contained as you progress. It does not pull any punches about complexity, nor the amount of new obscure names,vocabulary, and background lore available to absorb. Eventually (probably about halfway through) I reached a point where things got totally overwhelming and my brain just could not competently track all the outstanding loose threads even with the aforementioned Traveller's Guide notes. Maybe if I'd been more patient I could have gradually whittled away at everything, but I resorted to a walkthrough to finish the game off so that I could get back to other Life Stuff. I don't regret the experience at all, I think I just found the limit of what my brain could handle. It's not like I ever solved Myst and Riven without a game guide either :)
