apart from my question in the title, I'm wondering:ġ) Is the weird logic and crazy difficulty of adventure game puzzles part of the fun for you? Or would you prefer simpler, logical puzzles, even if it means an easier game (but one you could actually make it through without help)?Ģ) Is there a decent reason for it (other than padding game length)?ģ) Which adventure games do you think offer the best gameplay? I'm talking logical puzzles, no situations where you can't win the game later on because you didn't "use cheese on old lady" at the beginning of chapter 1. and whilst that meant the puzzles were quite simple, it meant that the game could actually have a sense of pacing, which you don't get when you have to stop for hours on end to figure out a brain-teaser. Both much better than Myst and Riven in this department.Īnd then there's Gemini Rue, which made use of only four actions (look at, talk to, use hand on, use foot on) and a handful of inventory items. but it was mostly the kind of stuff you could figure with a bit of effort. Here is the only surviving village, where the vast majority of the surviving. This information will give you the proper sequence. Jungle Island, sometimes referred to as Village Island, was an island on Riven. Each eye is associated with an animal and each eye has a D'ni number written on it. Remember that the numbers 5, 10, 15, and 20 are all made by turning the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively 90 degrees counter-clockwise, and 25 is the X symbol. In this game, you find a mysterious book and get sucked into the world described within, and must. The games are set in fictional realms known as Ages, which can be accessed by 'linking books', and you play as The Stranger, a visitor to the Ages.

The wooden eyes you've seen previously provide crucial information for solving this puzzle. Also, the 5-number code to open the domes is in Gehns journal on Crater Island. Myst is the first in a series of fantasy adventures created by brothers Rand and Robyn Miller.
Look down and you will see the shapes repeated. I played through the original The Secret of Monkey Island game recently (well, the re-release with nice graphics and voice acting) and it had its share of "adventure game logic". There is a secret way out of this room, but you'll need to click five stones in a certain sequence to find it. They are the similar to those you saw on the plaque in the golden dome and represent the 5 Riven islands.
Most of them were just so obtuse (to my brain at least) or overly-complicated (visit 10 sites and write down symbol-sound combinations for each, figure out a symbol-to-number system they invented and then use it for a code, etc) that I found myself not even thinking about most of them before heading straight for the walkthrough solution. I really enjoyed exploring the worlds and there was some very nice sound work in both of them. I played through Myst a couple of months ago, and finished Riven today.
