Found another gem thanks to @blitter.bsky.social : The October 2001 issue of game developer magazine. He mentioned it because it contains a postmortem for Myst 3 but there's some other interesting stuff in there like stuff about building accessible audio interfaces, and some great vintage ads.

Secrets of Award Winning Game Audio Postmortem: MYST III: EXILE

I haven't had as much time to browse so far as I would have liked, but I'm definitely looking forward to spending more time digging through the Cyan collection. Also I've been enjoying digging up old reviews for some of my favorite games, the full-text search is amazing!
