Many hundreds of years ago, a point and click adventure game aptly entitled “Myst” hit store shelves. The visuals were pretty. The puzzles were challenging. It has one problem: it’s incredibly boring.
This is why straight adventure games died.
Enter Myst for the DS.
It’s gonna suck, but I have some ideas that may fix this ailing franchise, after the jump!
Myst DS has already been released in Europe, and not even the dull citizens over there found it worth playing. Hopefully in the recently announced US version, Empire will integrate some Pokemon mini-games into the adventure, or perhaps some pixelated babe-a-licious eye candy.
Even better: equip the player with a rocket launcher, giving them the option to blow through that combination lock, instead of spending three hours to find the code.
Perfect.
Empire Interactive: e-mail me at volkov@sarcasticgamer.com to pick my brain further. I’ve got tons of other flawless ideas on how to make adventure games suck less.

I love adventure games, but I never was a huge fan of Myst.

Myst wasn’t all bad, had some fun parts.
