Story

77 of 233 sampled reviews raised it
Despite the story and characters being very good, I have found myself more often than not having to close the game because I got bored due to the fact that to finish one puzzle you have to walk the whole darn map, which takes about five minutes to do (it's a map so small it shouldn't BE 5').
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
41 of 233 sampled reviews raised it
In my opinion, it has the best graphics in the whole series.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 233 sampled reviews raised it
Myst IV has the second best visual world building (second to Riven) and arguably the best soundtrack.
