RHEM I SE: The Mysterious Land

I am a huge fan of Myst like games and this one also met my expectations. It was engaging and the puzzles extremely challenging at times. However, I would have liked it even more if game play did not require so much making notes and drawings. I would have preferred to see these items in my inventory, a feature this game does not possess. That being said, I enjoyed the environment and graphic details therein.

How do I change to english I do not understand what language I am playing in.

Pures Logik- und Rätselspiel, ohne Hektik; ja, die Graphik ist nach heutigem Stand simpel, ist bei einer One-Man-Show (steht ja kein Riesenstudio dahinter) und in Anbetracht des Alters vollkommen OK. Aber ich habe nur in den Rhem-Games dieses Ausmaß an Dichte gesehen: Was wie ein Riesenareal wirkt, findet in Wahrheit auf relativ kleinem Raum statt, immer wieder stellt man fest, daß man sich auf der anderen Seite von etwas befindet, was man vorher schon einmal durchlaufen hat (Gebäude, Fahrstühle, Wege, ...). Wer Myst-artige Puzzlespiele liebt, wird sich hier sofort zu Hause fühlen, nur an die Graphik muß man sich erst gewöhnen (ist mir allerdings sehr leicht gefallen). Für jeden Ego-Shooter-Fan ist Rhem allerdings der ultimative Alptraum.

The 3 towers puzzle is very difficult to imagine and solve

If your looking for a truly Myst kind of game Rhem 1 SE is that game. It is the first game I completed without a walkthrough. I thought the puzzles were fair and enough clues given to figure the puzzles out. The only recommendation I have is to download a map of Rhem 1 which is the only cheat I used. The land can be very confusing to keep everything straight. You discover several maps during the game but are very poor. I was able to make my own notes on my map for future reference. The only negative I saw was you couldn't keep clues, so you either had to write them down or I took screen shots to refer back to. The game does not have a feature to take in game screenshots which would of helped. Overall a great experience and a lot of fun. Can't wait to continue the journey with Rhem 2.

I truly regret purchasing this series. The developer made it overly difficult. There are absolutely no indications for what to do, not even slight hints. I guarantee you will consult a walkthough for Rhem.

I wanted to like it (even though it's old) but it was just a bit too clunky to move around, and the graphics are really low res, and the puzzles a little annoying and disorienting... and it was hard for me to get my bearings and I kept getting lost... But there are decent puzzles that will stretch you, and it's an interesting story and concept, so maybe try it out and see if you like it.
