After three years of waiting, Myst fans (all four of us) can finally get our hands on Cyan Worlds’Myst Online: Uru Live, the promised multiplayer online component toUru: Ages Beyond Myst. The resurrectedMyst Onlinecomes courtesy of your friends and mine at GameTap, offered at no additional cost to the service’s $9.95 per month pricetag, and is scheduled to go live tomorrow.
Uru Liveoffers puzzlephiles the opportunity to explore the game’s many, many ages (read: worlds) with other players, though most ages’ puzzles can be solved by a single player (with the exception of two). Additionally, Cyan Worlds promises that the game’s story will be guided, however slightly, by the actions of the player community as well as monthly story updates.Uru Liveplays as its predecessors played: exploration, puzzle solving, and a phenomenal rarity in online PC gaming: no level grinding. Huzzah!
