A very good remaster of a legendary game, Myst is back and this time it's point and click adventure hour but in real time, no more shifting and loading screens. You can finally explore every nook and cranny of this marvelous, now beautifully-looking game, and it's much appreciated since, to me at least, the classic Myst did not age well. The game rewards logic, patience, sense and reasoning, and will not fall into that obvious trap (like so many of its peers and clones at the time) of leaving you asking yourself: "WTF? That makes no sense? How?" No, everything in this game is designed to be a journey for the mind and for the soul. It feeds you breadcrumbs, barely one or two just so you can make things going, and the rest is ALL up to you. Consider this, what game would've made me stare [apparently idle] at the screen for an hour reading its lore before it actually even began? Myst! It could serve as a grand master in "How to Write a script for the Game", especially these days where stories within games are as barren as the capitalistic minds that push them through. Finally, if you stick around for a while, the game might prove you wrong and teach you something. Well, at some point in the game, without the risk of spoiling anything and as luck would have it, I stumbled upon a solution by a mere 3% chance and it infuriated me. Why I had to go back and understand why and how it happened, it was just a lucky first guess. What followed next was me and my brain working each other out for good 3-4 hours, refusing to let go (and use the Google Cheat Inc, oh no no), only to realize and re-learn that what I once thought to be a fact was now false and opposite, a lie. And lastly, the only thing I truly disliked was the bare bones and somewhat clunky UI, that could've been done better, more polished and without a few stutters, particularly once you hit the options screen/load a level. And so, to paraphrase a character from this game: I will come back to the age of Myst again, as I am looking forward to see what will await me there in the future.

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.

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.

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.

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.)
