Myst Masterpiece Edition

This is the quintessential first person point and click adventure game. The graphics were amazing, and still hold up. The puzzles are fun, challenging but not extremely difficult. The only better game of this genre is the sequel Riven.

The game runs in ScummVM and I had no problems at all in Windows 10. I was surprised that this game from 1993 looked pretty good. I completed this with my sister in two gaming sessions and we had no problems at all finishing it completely on our own. Myst is really not that hard and not cryptic. Just need a bit of patience. We will play the rest of the series soon. We picked this version because it is the closest to the original. I can understand if it doesn't meet modern expectations.

Here is a review many people will not take to heart, but I have to tell you that Myst absolutely changed my life. If it weren't for playing Myst when I was a kid (8 or 9 years old) I may have turned out to be a significantly more wretched little whelp. Why you may ask? Most kids at that time were playing games like Doom and Duke Nukem, but oh not me! I was heavily involved in exploring mysterious islands, solving puzzles, and saving a family from falling apart. The hours I spent traversing these worlds were some of the best memories of my dysfunctional childhood. The long nights of biting my nails as I placed the next red or blue page into the book is indescribable. Do yourself a favor and play one of the forgotten gems of PC past.

I loved this game on PC when it originally came out. The beautifully rendered world and puzzles that literally made us tear our hair out. There wash't really Internet back then, so when you got stuck, you got really stuck. Would love to play it again on my Mac.

I played this completed it in under a day, it racked my brain so many times, amazingly fun and challenging, its a gem of a game. I haven't played the other Myst games yet, but looking forward to it. Its also the first game I've found to say figure it out yourself.
