Myst Masterpiece Edition

Simply use either VMworkstation or VirtualBox to make a Win7/10 32bit install and you can happily play away. Both are free to use, so If you can install windows, you can install it into a virtual machine and run whatever you need to.

I have this game on disc, as part of Myst The collection. But I had issues with sound on that copy so bought one here. This version, runs alot smoother with alot less problems. Unfortunately, the screen resolution is awful here, textures appear muddy, I can barely read the text in books and frankly, that's where you obtain a large amount of the lore and story. It's a shame, as otherwise, the performance improvements and overall stability in this game is much better with the GoG version. Just a shame it's so damn ugly, for a game that is supposedly a remaster of the original.

Un de mes jeux préférés à ce jour, des énigmes juste ce qu'il faut de complexe à mon goût, des décors prenants même encore aujourd'hui. Ma meilleure découverte retro, n'ayant pas découvert le jeu à sortie, étant moi-même trop jeune

Myst is fully hand generated world. The graphics are visually stunning and the scenery is breath taking. What I most liked about Myst is that you can play and explore at your own pace. Being able to explore and look at all the fine details in each scene unfettered is refreshing. There is no pressure to complete time based challenges that have to be repeated over and over until success is achieved in that particular task. Unfolding the mysteries is very rewarding. The puzzles are challenging at times but there is a logic behind all of them. No pixel hunting or random clicking to solve illogical puzzles. All of the games in this series are brilliant. If you like adventures and puzzlers then this is a "Must Play"

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.
