Bro I loved Myst so much but holy poo poo the games after Riven were hot garbage. I mean MYST isnt that great in hindsight, but like the ATMOSPHERE and goddamn music and tone were just so goddamn good I ignored everything I didn't like about it and it was a glorious feeling of awe that I chase and never could achieve.

Cyan was busy with their ambitious MMO project Uru that crashed and burned in the end, so Myst 3 and 4 were farmed out to other companies that really missed the mark tonally about what made Myst and Riven great. Instead they tried to make them in an over the top Hollywood blockbuster style with "Epic" overblown orchestral music everywhere. Then Myst 5 was made by Cyan but hastily cobbled together from remnants of canceled Uru content and featuring one of the most annoying characters in the series.

Uru has the same great atmosphere as Myst and Riven, though it's a very disjointed experience since it's built on the remains of a canceled MMO.
