Product Description

The legacy of the Tastan tombs has long held some of the most profound secrets of an extinct race of people. Some believe the tombs hold a fabulous treasure; others say wealth is in the knowledge and technology left behind by this advanced civilization. Watching over their sacred caverns is a holographic image with advanced A.I. who randomly appears in the form of a mysterious woman, awakened when there is disturbance in the tombs. You will soon discover that in the realm of illusion, the sentinel is much more than she appears to be – her dark purpose might threaten your very existence.

I thought the game might be a little dated but I thoroughly enjoyed it on my Win 7 machine. Great graphics and stimulating puzzles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Puzzles that makes sense...and lovely graphics, too!
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2006
Having just endured Myst V, I was looking for something to take my mind off the last Myst game and redeem my faith in puzzle software. Realms of Illusion has done just that.

The graphics are very wonderful and, with a minor hitch or two, have run very well on my two year old Dell. I'm the type who will stop every few feet just to look out over the scenery or just pause to enjoy the view, and I must say I've enjoyed Realms immensely. Since I live in a tropical climate, snow scenes are always my favorites and Realms has a lovely one I can wander through, pretending the AC isn't humming away.

The puzzles are a good mix of hard and "easy," and you have to use logic and reasoning. I don't hesitate to use online hints when stuck, but I've not had to do that often with Realms. My teenage sons would look over my shoulder and ask about the puzzles in Myst...then say "And that's supposed to make sense?" With Realms, they say "That's cool."

The voice work is not the best and the rendering of the woman you match wits with is passable, but not memorable. (She's still MUCH better than the Bahro in Myst 5) Neither of these detract much from the game, however.

Overall, very enjoyable!

Aug 2010 note: I recently replayed this game and wish I could tack on a few extra stars. This is one of my favorites and I thoroughly enjoyed every part of it. The graphics, even though several years old now, are still fantastic. The puzzles are clever but just hard enough to make you think (or take a peek at a walkthrough.) A classic!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good puzzle game
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2006
Realms of Ilussion is the same as Sentinel Descendants in time, the change was done because of some copyright issues. But the game is very good doing a challenge mind. The hard puzzles (to me) are the sound based. You will get worlds over the sky, with snow, a under sea city and many other places with fantastic landscapes. The puzzle style is similar to Schizm, and you will need write details to solve them.

4.0 out of 5 stars A New Realms of Illusion game?
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2006
I ordered this game on-line without realizing The Adventure Company just reissued their "Sentinel: Descendants in Time" under this new title. Amazon and all who sell it should state this in promos or adds. I ended up cancelling the order, but did enjoy the original - Sentinel very much; so, I still recommend the game to puzzlers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Show
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2008
The graphics are gorgeous, the worlds imaginative. The puzzles are terrific, even if a couple of them sent me to a walkthrough. Good integration of plot ideas. The story doesn't have the depth and organic thrust of the earlier Myst games, but then they were the best. Pretty good nevertheless.
