It's a classic for a reason. It's a game you need to take notes or at least screenshots to beat, but that's part of the fun. Shout out to Game Studies Study Buddies for the recommendation!

I very much enjoyed playing this for the first time even though the original game came out nearly 30 years ago, and it still holds up as a charming, logical adventure with interesting characters, a unique story, and challenging puzzles. My only critique is that the story isn't fully fleshed out, and I understand now that there is a direct sequel which continues the story, so I will hold off on total judgement in that regard until I've finished that game as well. I intentionally didn't look up any spoilers or tips for the puzzles, and I was able to complete them all eventually, so nothing was too tedious or unfair on that front. However, it can be quite difficult to know what to do next or how to solve certain puzzles, so make sure you take some notes, draw diagrams as needed, and experiment with what you can interact with in the game if you're stuck just to see if anything different happens or if something is changed in the surrounding area by your actions - that saved me every single time I was in a pickle! If you love point-and-click puzzle games, this is a MUST play as it's foundational to the genre.

Knowledge-based games seem to fall in one of two camps. Either they relish in telling you nothing or they use traditional text hints to guide players. I vastly prefer the former. It makes the world more mysterious, even if it ends up alienating me and many other players, i.e., Rain World. There are moments where text may be necessary, but their inclusion, regardless of how subtle, admits the game’s world and mechanics aren’t doing enough to speak for themselves. Look at 80s arcade games. Most functioned on a joystick and one or two buttons. They didn’t tell you anything, but the simple controls made it reasonable to expect the average player to figure things out by fumbling around. Nowadays, games could be so complicated that button prompt tutorials are expected. Nothing inherently wrong with this, but there’s a huge difference between explaining what action is triggered by pressing A and explaining every single application said action provides, and bridging that information gap is what I crave from these types of games. I wish to be stuck for a little while before arriving at the answer. Text removes that friction and it makes the world feel accomodating instead of uncaring. Myst is fascinating because of how it neither holds the player’s hand nor pushes away someone who has never touched a video game before. Most puzzles boil down to learning access codes, yet the answers are rarely spelled out to you; conveyed through mechanical contraptions whose purpose is unclear until you realize how logical the answer was the whole time. Not all are winners. The organ puzzle is tedious unless you have perfect pitch and the train maze has infuriatingly slow animations between tracks. By and large though, they are smart. Each one is contained to a specific world (Age), each of which are small, so it’s not overwhelming to click everywhere and see what you missed. Having full camera control would have been nice at times, but the point-and-click format does make it more clear what you can interact with, so it balances out. Plus, you can zip across the landscape in seconds once you know where to click. Regardless of how long each Age lasts for you, there is no shortage of quality worldbuilding. Every world is unique and full of details. The graphics are of their time, but it honestly added to the world’s mystery. Not everything is as it seems, best highlighted with the interactable decor that have zero ties to nearby puzzles. Top that off with excellent audiowork, and every Age feels alive despite the tiny cast of characters. All of this is apparently elaborated on in the sequel Riven, so I will be sure to check it out. While this type of game may not be for me, I’m nonetheless glad to have completed Myst. I see why it influenced later adventure titles.

Nothing to say that hasn't been said a million times before. Haven't even completed the game, and I can say with complete certainty that this is a puzzle game for the ages. Busting out the notebook and making physical notes while the eerie soundscape surrounds you is an intense feeling. After your first or second page of notes, you suddenly find lore that expands and broadens your understanding of this world, which at first seems vapid and empty. It's layered and difficult to parse, so if you aren't willing to invest a little dedication, maybe skip it, but enthusiasts of exploring a deep game and world will be eating good.

Double Jump? No. Peak visuals, too I find it really annoying to navigate and the puzzles are tedious in a way that there are multiple where you must go to a location that rotates something, go back to the rotated area to see what is there, then go all the way back and rotate to another area (lots of animations to slow it down too). I do think Myst would have been baller as fuck when there was nothing else on your computer cause I see the "exploring a world all on your own and figuring it out". I assume this would have been like the Outer Wilds for back then. This definitely does not feel like a "Game" in the traditional sense, it is just a place you explore and try to figure out what is up. I think that is really cool, but it feels so vastly different to what most other games want from you that I do not want to spend hours figuring it out myself. I also have 2 different physical guides for Myst. One is the Brady Games one and it is full color with like magazine quality paper. It leads you through the sections going like "oh this button makes a sound, wonder whats up with that" to egg you on to think. Then it goes through again with the straight up answers. The second guide I have is the Prima Guide and this one is fucking awesome. The first section of the book is the Myst Journal in which it chronicles a narrator exploring the game and writing down observations that will also lead you to hints and such. They will also eventually solve the puzzles in it, but it is a really cool way to lead the player and kind of a way to novelize the game. There is also just a quick normal guide after that, and then a developer interview.
