Important to keep in mind this is a remake of a game that was innovative in the 90s, when the first version was nearly impossible to make. 30 years later, there's Unreal Engine, VR, big screens and beautiful shaders. I don't think it is fair to use modern standards to evaluate Myst: Cyan decided to keep the remake faithful to the original game, with very few updates. There's value in this decision, which is preserve the original experience as best as possible, updating elements around it. Overall, this is a good game. I enjoyed playing it a lot. The only not very enjoyable part is the mine maze. The puzzles are fun and culture neutral (hard to think of this game offending someone, for instance). You can take all the time you need, save the game, come back another time. The experience is meant to be relaxing: player can't die, all puzzles can be tried over and over again (although resetting some of them can be tedious), and discovering something gives sparks of joy. Once you figure the good ending, it's easy to figure all bad endings, and I see this very well: instead of starting over just to get other endings, you can simply load the last save and do what needs to be done to see them. Could it be a bigger game? I'd say yes. Cyan releases addons from time to time. Would be nice to continue releasing DLCs. This game has infinite potential if it keeps receiving new content. I recommend keeping a journal with your findings. Certain puzzles will require it.
The 1993 classic needs no introduction. Neither does this, seeing as it's essentially the same thing. This is Myst re-tooled for a world dominated by games using full, real-time rasterization as opposed to pre-rendered stills, and more or less seen as the definitive version of the title. You can take a stroll down Memory Lane and keep the default puzzles for that nostalgia kick of being able to navigate the Selenetic Age's tram system by memory alone, or you can have the game randomize its puzzle solutions if you want an excuse to fully immerse yourself, the way we all did during our very first run in the days of SCSI flatbed scanners and 28.8K modems. Let's say you're new, though. What's Myst about? Well, it's a tale of Ages, of places that may or may not have been written into being - shush, you old-timers, let the kids get some sense of whimsy! - of filial betrayal, crippling choices and family. The game's distinct worlds still ooze charm to this day, in that definitive sense that world-building wasn't quite so much a concern for the Miller brothers as lore-building was, if that makes sense. You'll need novelizations to have some vague sense of where Atrus and company eat, live and sleep on Myst Island, so the game sadly isn't quite as diegetic as its meticulous diary entries might have you believe. It's also more than a little crazy to revisit Myst and to consider that not long ago - by a few decades, at least - Myst was being side-eyed by Disney, of all people... Things have changed, since then, and other games have had bigger and more chart-topping successes that made Myst's initial novelty feel like the start of the gaming press' hype cycle - so it's a little hard to imagine someone talk about Atrus as an Obi-Wan Kenobi analogue, nowadays. Back in the nineties, entire theses were written about Myst. To get back on track, however, I'll mention that this version of Myst was Cyan's initial foray into VR, and that barring a few tiny proportion-related flubs with a headset on, the translation is 100% faithful. Myst in VR is, finally, as the game's initial tagline claimed, an adventure that will become your world. Stay away if you want guns, more or less - and welcome to those of you looking to bake their noodle for a few hours - or to do what I did and blitz through the Classic Mode because the puzzle solutions might as well be etched into my DNA, at this point.
Great puzzle game with beautiful visuals. I don't love all the updates in this newer release - I understand the reasons and some of it is genuinely helpful for quality of life, but as a player of the original and every release they've had (yes, I keep buying it every time) I do prefer the original and just enjoyed this.
My mom introduced me to the Myst series because she is absolutely OBSESSED with every single one of the games, and because of how much she loves it I do too! I associate a it lot with her which is why I love the series so much. It's a very difficult but fun game, that's kinda the whole point of it being a mystery puzzles game lmao,, I understand why people enjoy the older versions-but I think all of them are amazing! I have a lot of love for the Myst games. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes a bit of a challenge. :]
