Imo, FO4 did everything better than FO3, except the plot. But FO3’s plot was already kinda bland to begin with. I mean, back then… It was incredible. But not by today’s standards.
I never played Myst as a kid but when I tried it a few years ago, the puzzles seem really hard and abstract by today’s standards.
And I played a LOT of point and click games, and most I can solve without a walkthrough. But the 15 mins in Myst felt like I need to play it with a guide.
I hooked my wife with Rusty Lake Hotel, which is probably the easiest entry point into the whole series.
Then we went into a few cube games, and then Rusty Lake Roots, which is so well made and where all the best lore is.
Did some more cube games, and right into Rusty Lake Paradise and Samara Room, and Underground Blossom.
I also didn’t tell her The Past Within is also a Rusty Lake game, so when she saw the connections while we were playing, her excitement went through the roof.
I was surprised they were still cranking out episodes. I watched one last year out of boredom. It wasn’t even funny. It was just like… CGI doing CGI stuff.
