IGN Review
PlayStation 2 version rated 2/10. "I don't understand the Myst phenomenon at all. Be it the original game, Riven, or the latest in the series known as Exile, it's a franchise that never should have made it past the early 90's." (October 3, 2002)

Rated 79% by Philip Hansen. "Serene, lyrical, and breathtaking the static-image world of Myst III will either keep you up nights in a puzzle solving frenzy or bore you to sleep." (June, 2001)

Review by Andrew "Zarf" Plotkin
"It's gorgeous, entertaining, well-designed, diverting, satisfying, and absolutely worth playing. But the title suits it, in the end: the game boils down to a third big helping of that familiar Myst." (May 15, 2001)
