Myst Masterpiece Edition

Amazing classic point click adventure game that can you can easily get stuck on. Controlled entirely by your mouse. There is a help system which will adjust the amount of detail it gives based on how many times you click on it. If your very stuck it will walk you right through the puzzle. This game has a way of making you want to come back for more, just be aware of that and enjoy!

Without question, Myst and its sequels are above and beyond my favorites. The worlds you explore are highly imaginative, and the story lines captivating. If hack-and-slash is your thing, you'll be disappointed; your brain is what unlocks this game. The music is a key component to these games; this is the only game series that I leave the background music on, and put on high-quality headphones to play. It really draws you in!

you're wasting my time ;..... and yours . my brother ...... achenar........ bring me the red pages lol remember one of the first game on cd rom a gigantic 600 mbyte of data . you needed a 486dx i think with 4mbyte of ram

Myst is, of course, one of the greatest adventure/puzzle games of all time. However, you should know that there is a bug in the Masterpiece Edition. I'm playing this on Windows 10 (where most of the game runs beautifully), but this issue, according to forums, has been with ME since it released on Win XP. For some players, the bug occurs in the Mechanical Age, making it impossible to collect all of the clues to leave the age. It's not a game-breaking bug as you can simply look up a guide to find the clues you need, but it's disappointing nonetheless - hence my 4 star review. Otherwise, this is still the classic game you may have grown up with or may just be experiencing for the first time.

This is a review of someone who has never played any of the Myst games before and has no nostalgia for them, so I only take into account of whether this is worth playing today or not. My main problem with this game is not the puzzles themselves, but the UI, or the lack of it, that leads to a very confusing gameplay experience. Ideally, your cursor should change whenever you are hovering over an interactable object or path that you can move towards, but the game doesn't really indicate everything that you can interact with most of the time. Add confusing pre-rendered camera angles and you have a recipe for complete disorientation. For experienced players this might seem like a nitpick, but interacting with things is the entire game and it's weirdly obtuse. I didn't even find the paths for some locations in the first island because they didn't look like paths that I could follow at all. I recommend the newest releases of Myst especially for a new player, since you can walk around in first person and the game clearly shows what is interactable or not, so you get a much better experience.
