Upon loading up a game, customizing your avatar's appearance with a fairly limited character creator, and setting foot in your home base, an Age called Relto, you immediately encounter Uru Live's most distinct feature: an unprecedented lack of direction. Otherwise, you may want to carefully consider what diving into Uru Live entails, since as of right now it's basically Uru: Ages Beyond Myst with an online infrastructure. If you're a casual fan of adventure games and never played Uru before, you'll have significantly more to accomplish, including tangling with some challenging puzzle designs.
Cyan Worlds is currently working to add new content and curiosities, but as of yet, there isn't that much new to see.
Old Ages can be played through again with others, which can be helpful if you're stuck, but there's no pressing need as their design caters to solo play. As a result, Myst veterans uninterested in plugging through Uru's content again will be left with a dearth of things to actually do, shifting the onus of gameplay creation to the community. Though these puzzles can be fun and require precise, coordinated actions, they're over rather quickly. Uru Live was eventually picked up again, and the result of Cyan Worlds' renewed development efforts is what you see today, a version of Uru that finally works online.Ī few new Ages, the Myst mythos' term for puzzle areas, have been added, two of which require up to eight players to band together and solve cooperatively. If you weren't aware, Uru Live was originally supposed to have been released in 2003, but the online portion was axed and thought to be lost. That's mostly because the majority of Uru Live's puzzles and environments were already released in 2003 with Uru: Ages Beyond Myst and its expansions. It's an online adventure game, yet the bulk of its content is tailored for solo play. But we'll be fidgeting excitedly as we perch there.The long awaited Myst Online: Uru Live finally launched earlier this year, and playing it turns out to be a peculiar experience. It's not an official announcement so much as a re-posting of an email received by one of the forum's members, so we'll remain perched on the fence for the time being. It never quite managed to get its feet fully off the ground on PC, but a connected iPhone would be likely to get plenty of attention and give the game the support it always wanted. Myst Online: Uru Live was quite different, however, positioning itself as a massively multiplayer online adventure game. Riven picked up immediately where Myst left off, and was much like its elder brother featuring a pre-rendered world with a point-and-click style of gameplay guiding you through it.

the rest of the Myst series get complicated fast due to technology issues and rights licensing. "Watch the Myst online website for updates. Uru Live, maybe within a month," the alleged official Cyan Worlds quote reads. "I'm hoping that Riven will be available by early summer at the latest. Well, over on the official Myst Online forums, a tasty bit of info has been disseminated regarding the sequels Riven and Myst Online: Uru Live also getting iPhone adaptations. It was a CD-sized download, but it was worth it.

It was a glorious day for all you gnarly old retro gamers out there when Cyan Worlds resurrected the most popular PC game of all time ( until The Sims came along), Myst, for iPhone.
