Did you like Myst? That was the complete opposite end of the spectrum.

Title screen video gives a vague story. Game starts. No dialog. No text. Just ... clicking and discovering the rest of the story.

I fucking loved that game. That and the Dr. Brain games define my childhood. Oh and gizmos and gadgets. And Commander Keen. And Descent. And Hillsfar. And Deathtrack.

But also yes, I did enjoy Myst. It's also what I enjoyed about Minecraft when it first came out. You just had to figure your shit out or get killed by zombies.

I don't remember which game it was, but I'm pretty sure it was a ubisoft game, maybe AC3, where it felt so much like a tutorial that I spent the entire game wondering when I'd get out of the tutorial and onto the real game.

It ruined the game for me, because I never felt like I was let free to actually play the game.
