Very much a flawed masterpiece. I played this version of the game for two reasons: Firstly because it was the version that I remember from when I was younger (mostly, there were a couple of 'bugfix' builds around the Macintosh version I played;) and secondly because it's the version that has the most 'liminal' and unsettling atmosphere. This second point is important, because the strange graphics, unusual soundscapes, and unnerving designs of the original game contribute heavily to the sense of unease that you experience as you explore the island and ages of Myst, uncovering the wider story and preparing yourself for what comes next. I am not unhappy that I played through this version, and partly I'm glad because it gave me a chance to play it through with my partner, but I don't know that I would recommend it to anybody coming at the game with fresh eyes in 2026 and beyond. If you don't have nostalgia for the original, nor do you want to experience how we "used to game" in the 90s, then you should go for the remake over this version, I hear there are some nice quality of life improvements that make it a lot more approachable. There's also the 'Rime' expansion to the remake which simply doesn't exist in this version. Those quality of life improvements are important, because of the jank... jank is a well-understood element of old games, especially those like Myst which were the 'first' in their genre to do things in a particular way, and it wasn't generally the 'best' way to do them. Later developers that played and learned from Myst would go on to do various elements of the game in a better way when they implemented similar mechanics in their own offerings. There's backtracking in Myst, tedious wastes of time (like cranking things which could be buttons) and there are misalignments of hints and puzzles which serve to confuse, more than help, in certain cases. It's got jank, and while it doesn't make it a *bad* game, it does offend modern sensibilities in a way that's hard to ignore. If you're looking for a game to take a few hours out of your life, and one which really shows where some of the modern puzzle tropes originated, you can do a lot worse than Myst. I'm very happy to have completed it, and I'm looking forward to playing Riven, but I will definitely be playing the remake versions of the games going forward, if only because I use a controller quite heavily at the moment and while Myst "works" with a controller, it's very clearly better with a mouse and keyboard. From one old gamer to anyone who might be reading this, welcome to Myst, I hope you enjoy your time here.
It's a classic, what can I say? Painfully clunky by modern standards, yet probably the best graphics of any game to survive from that time period. Some of the puzzles are hair-tearing, but it's worth it to deal with them; the game takes only a few hours if you know it, but is worth spending days in if you don't.
Myst was always a game I've wanted to play and it's taken me over a decade to get around to it. Well, I finally picked it up during this past summer sale, even though it's only $6 normally, and I found the experience to be entertaining and immersive, but I was let down by the ending (no spoilers). There are multiple versions of Myst, but this is the closest to the original game, though the sound effects and image quality are slightly better here. As Myst does have a story and a bit of lore to it, the lack of subtitles is my biggest gripe with this version. The audio quality isn't the highest, and a lack of subtitles can sometimes make it difficult to understand dialogue, especially in some of the earliest FMV scenes in the game. I ended up having to use a transcript for a good portion to be able to understand cutscene dialogue; the 2021 remake, however, has subtitles, so if subtitles matter for you, pick that version up. Go into this remembering that this plays like a 1990s point-and-click adventure game. Though quality of life improvements allow you to get through the game faster, it still takes a bit of time to navigate and get through all of the locations, and you'll be clicking all over the screen. Some of the puzzles are obtuse or have slight annoyances (for instance, a puzzle based on sound and how well it plays at a specific numeric value is annoying when you're .3 away from the puzzle's intended solution, but it sounds correct because of the playing sound effect), but most of them are still fun to solve. It's not a very long game, but it absolutely can be given how out-of-the-way some things are. You also get a little bit of liberty in how you progress, as you can explore any of the ages in any order you find them, which is a neat touch for a 1993 PC game. I'd like to pick up the 2021 remake simply because that has subtitles, it's the most recent/expanded version of the game, and it also has more modern movement controls (which, admittedly, navigating Channelwood was a bit obnoxious with point-and-click controls and Channelwood's winding paths). However, the original Myst is still a fantastic experience and a fun 90s puzzle game.
