March 2025

A classic puzzle game, albiet a tad frustrating at times. Requires patience and curiosity. Also, know that sometimes clicking and holding on an object will elecit a different response than just clicking on it repeatedly.

It's Myst in VR, what more could you want? The original island puzzle game. If you've played it before in the last 30 years, you know what to expect. It's really amazing to be there on the island, just like you imagined. And if you've never played, prepare for an experience. Fun puzzles, amazing atmospheres, and an engaging story that will keep you on your toes. There were a few crashes during my playthrough. Keep your drivers updated, and if you have a crash, uninstall and reinstall. That helped me fix the few things that went wrong.

Sept. 2024

As a modern version of Myst, this is great. Great graphics and a faithful implementation of the source material. As a VR game it's... slightly disappointing. The feeling of actually being transported to these places is amazing and worth the price, but the rest of the VR design is lackluster. The original Myst—despite being point and click—is very tactile: strike this match, pull this chain, sit in this chair, move this huge lever, etc. But rather than find creative solutions to translate those interactions into VR, the game has simply removed them. Many, many unique interactions have been replaced with simple buttons and switches (I presume to work better with a normal controller). This feels jarring in VR, especially with the finger tracking VR controllers, since all VR interactions have been simplified down to either flipping a switch or pushing a button. So while I do recommend it, the full immersion of interacting with the classic Myst puzzles just isn't there.

June 2024

I started this game on a Macintosh 31 years ago, but I was too young, impatient, stupid, or all of the above to finish it. Coming back after all this time was well worth the wait. Ignore the reviews complaining about old FMVs. This is the definitive way to play the game. The original 'slideshow' gameplay was just SOOOOO slow and tedious. This version was wonderful, looked great, supports classic options (like slideshow gameplay), and has full controller support. I did my full playthrough on a 83" OLED in 4K HDR with a gamepad and it was glorious.

June 2024

This is a very pretty and well-realized version of Myst which updates the game with modern 3D-game sensibilities. The environments are generally lovely, and it's a pleasure walking around. I found that a lot of the eerie menace of the original was somewhat lost in this one. Achenar's rooms, for instance, were wonderfully disturbing in the original, but they lose a lot of "punch" in this remake, possibly due in part to the lack of fixed perspective. The remake also lays bare some of the shortcomings of the original Myst, such as the fact that there are very few actual puzzles in the game, contrary to its reputation. The world feels awfully small compared to what we're now used to in 3D gaming environments. Still, it's a pleasant experience, and it's nice to see the game with all the extra polish on it. I'm inclined to say that it feels a bit overpriced, though I don't regret buying it at full price personally. If you're in the mood to revisit Myst but want some modern sensibilities to ease the experience for you, IMO it's worth your time. (I've only played the original (Masterpiece Edition) and this one, FWIW -- I have *not* played RealMyst, so I can't compare to that one.)
