Dull and frustrating
Well, I'll be pretty much taking a dump on people's nostalgia but I don't get why "Myst" is considered such a great classic. I've just played this for the first time, so there's no rose-colored glasses clouding my perception of this game. simply put, it's a frustrating experience. The puzzles are far from intuitive and I could only get so far by using this version in-game hints, which makes me wonder how people managed to get through this back when it was released? There's nothing to let you know what and where things are, I needed the hints just to find the "forechamber", which is a small, not that obvious door to your left when you start. And that forechamber was hinted by a note that was found next to an unrelated building! And so far it looks like that's how the rest of the game is; find some obscure clue, experiment with objects whose purpose is not clear, flip a switch or open a door to an area with some interactable objects that doesn't do anything clear ... I don't mind making my brain work but when I have to take notes and use hints constantly to progress, maybe this is a sign that it's way too difficult. I feel like I'm in the dark, fumbling about in the hope of getting somewhere. After half an hour I don't feel I've accomplished much in this game. Again, I'm let down by a game's great reputation that overshadows an experience that might have been incredible back in its time, but is far from being a masterpiece. Nostalgia doesn'T make a game great and this is a shiny example of that.
