This sequel and its two predecessor RHEM and RHEM 2 are independent, one-man creations that aren't very flashy in the game-tech area, but blow the doors off of the puzzle genre! And, the best news is, there promises to be a RHEM 4!

Myst is what really started it all for us. 'realMYST' is the ultimate release of the game: Myst done in real-time 3D! Wow!

Everything wrong (too strong of a word) with MJ1:Schizm was fixed here plus real-time 3D! This one actually outdueled Myst:URU in our books.

The puzzles are a little "dumbed down" from Mysterious Journey 2. Otherwise, an excellent game for the money, again!

Very nicely done "atmospheric" puzzle-adventure. Not to be confused with the earlier game of the same name. Not a particularly long game, but pretty challenging puzzles in this one.

Although not really puzzle-oriented, this two-part game is the best-of-the-best in 3rd-person adventures. Very immersive story/graphics/music. Well done!

The absolute best-of-breed when it comes to edutainment. Great way to learn something while playing an adventure game.

Well done freshman entry from startup Streko Graphics. Definitely a 'Myst-clone', but a well done clone.

Definitely get the DVD version of this game! The graphics will simply blow you away. You won't hardly notice the awful actors.

Inventory puzzles galore! Very imaginative graphics design. If you like this one then you might also like 'Return to Mysterious Island' with same inventory system but noticably shorter.

Another cookie-cutter entry from Kheops Studios. Don't get me wrong; so far they have all been very enjoyable to play. This one was originally called 'Cleopatra: a Queen's Destiny'. Dialogs in this one leave a lot to be desired, though (sophomoric).

Kind of a 'Syberia' clone, but with an abundance of clever puzzles. Plot and voice-acting was cumbersome at points but, overall, not a bad fantasy-themed adventure game.

Best of the best when it comes to comic-adventures. Not exactly taxing in the puzzle department, but the humor really hits the spot when the brain needs a break!

Great pair of puzzling adventures in archeology. Part one was a better game than the second, but two improved upon the 'tech' of game one.

Probably the first (in a long line) of so-called Myst-clones, but still was a pretty good little game on its own.

Yet another adventure game based upon a Jules Verne story. This one has inventory puzzles galore, again, and multiple ways to solve each puzzle (and incorporating a 'scoring' system for creative puzzle solving). Kind of short, though.

Another pretty decent 2-pack if you can find it. Both games have pretty lush environments, but game one has better puzzles and story than two.

Another third-person, story-driven game (a la 'Syberia', et al), but this one does have some pretty well-done puzzles to go along with it's heavy sci-fi and mystery themes.

Nice atmosphere and puzzle, but we constantly felt like we were wandering through a pre-historic "re-enactment" with actors playing the parts, answering questions. Weird.

The absolute best of the Python games, even though we still haven't managed to get all the way through it. We'll have to break down and cheat some day!
