Spectacular way to experience Myst!
I first played Myst (1993) for the first time last year, so no nostalgia-goggles here - Myst is an absolute classic, and every bit as good as people say. In my opinion, it’s perfect - it just gets everything right: the visuals, the atmosphere, the puzzles, the music. It's immersive in ways VERY few games are, and its world and story is still very engaging to this day. I’ve played a few point-and-click adventure games over the years, but none have gripped me like Myst. My main issue with similar games is how often the puzzles border on the absurd and unfair. In Myst, the puzzles are difficult, but never obtuse - every puzzle feels deliberate and never too punishing. It’s a real joy to play, but still gives your brain a good workout at times! This remake is all of the above…except more beautiful, and with freedom of movement. Personally, I adore the original Myst aesthetic. The pre-rendered backgrounds of the original have an elegance and charm to them that can never be replaced. However, there’s no denying that this remake looks STUNNING. The level of detail is jaw-dropping at times, and thinking of the hours of work that must have gone into making each individual asset truly amazes me. I’ve read that a few people dislike the CGI characters - personally I think they fit this version quite well, but there is an option to change back to the classic FMV characters in the menu! Also, another review claims that Rime is not included, but it definitely is! Not sure if this was an update or what, but it is included. Overall, this is a stellar remake and probably the best way to play Myst. It does exactly what it sets out to do: bring Myst up to modern standards with impeccable graphics and presentation - it does that perfectly. Super immersive, beautifully recreated worlds with stunning levels of detail and gameplay that’s stood the test of time- well worth picking up regardless of whether or not you've played Myst before. Just brilliant! Time to play Riven!
