Myst Masterpiece Edition

Myst is a great start in the series, not too challenging but at the same time it sets the pace for the rest of the series. Also, for the time the game was released the pre-rendered graphics were a great move by the team.

Myst is one of the very first games to attempt a photorealistic style, leading it to be one of the most popular games of its time. Though the adventure game genre has long passed, Myst still holds up as an interesting, intriguing game in its own right. The sequel, Riven, is much longer and much better, but still this game is very much worth playing. Pick it up!

It takes a lot of patience and observational skills to play games like Myst. You really have to pay attention to every little thing you see in the game and try and figure out how those things can help you throughout. If you are patient and do not get easily frustrated this game just might make your day. For sure one of those unappreciated classics!

Game did not work for my PC running Windows 8. However, the staff at GOG has been replying to me in order to try to come up with a solution. They have been very helpful in responding and salvaged this rating from being a 1-star. I will update this review further as the staff takes care of my situation.

Myst is a phenomenal game. Full stop. The only reason I rate this down is not because of a problem, per se, with Myst: Masterpiece Edition but it's just that it's no longer the best way to experience this game. Unless you specifically want the nostalgia of pointing and clicking, play RealMYST. It's the same game but with improved graphical quality, slightly more content and the ability to free-roam. It is easily the best way to experience Myst unless, as I said, you specifically want to point and click for some reason.
