Very Difficult But Worth It
This one took me a while, and humbly I admit, it would've taken a lot longer without help from hints/walkthroughs. The puzzles don't always appear logical, and many require a lot of running around and trial and error. I just finished it, and was pleased with the storyline and ending(s). This one required more observation and note taking than I've ever done, and even then at times I had no idea what to do with all the info I'd gathered! This is the most difficult game I've played so far. I had plenty of frustrating moments since many of the solved puzzles never gave indication that it was solved, I only had to move on to the next, and the next, etc. to finally get some kind of pay off down the line (or go back and try to figure out where I went wrong). But that's what kind of game I like- challenging and beautiful graphically.

Amazing
I really liked as much as the Original Myst! The place is so real and beautiful. The story is amazing and you will have fun with the puzzles, they are not difficult, but you need to find them out and finish all of them to see the end. And you will have a choice of ends. Really cool. You will have a lot to do. A lot to see. A lot to think. That's what I like when playing a game. I don't like fighting or knowing my life is in risk if I don't do something in time. I don't play games to be agitated. I love the challenge, though. And the sensation of fear around but not real. You will enjoy the scenario. It's a big game. Takes space on your PC. You like Myst, you will like Alida. A lot.

guitar? island? Who would of guessed?
For me this game has been difficult. Difficulty feels so good when you solve the game. Really like this one. It has a little bit of everything in it. Guess who-guess what and how.
