Myst Masterpiece Edition

I tried playing as a kid and never managed to get off the island, but I'm so glad I picked it up as an adult. The puzzles are challenging, but not impossible, and the world captures the imagination. I can't wait to play the second one!

I didn't play MYST when it first came out, but I did play it when I was a child in the mid to late 2000's. I love the mystery and storyline, however simple it is

I like the Adventure games from my childhodd, though I didn't play all, and Myst is one of those I missed out. To be honest it would have gone over my head at the time. Later I played Physikus and Amerzone, and I completed the latter without help. Myst is a great game, and I look forward to play the whole series soon. Highly recommended for any oldscool adventure fan. Maybe not for those, who don't like to use their head! :-)

Plays just like it did in the '90s. Luckily we all have cameras in our pocket now so it makes the kpuzzles a lot easier.

It was on my to-be-played list for a long time, and I finally got around to play it. I love point and click games, puzzle games, so it feels like a perfect match. Despite this, it has certain flaws surely due to its age. The game is not perfect but it is perfectly enjoyable. The cursor doesn't make it clear if something is clickable so you have to just click around and see what you can interact with. Sometimes navigating (especially in the Channelwood Age) can be tricky and confusing. And some puzzles don't make too much sense, like clicking to the bearing of the lighthouse in the Stoneship Age. You can argue your way to make it have sense, but it's very far fetched. Despite this, the fact that there are no UI and tips and hints (in this version at least) aids to the feeling of immersion, which was the clear goal of the authors.
