OUTSTANDING! But not quite definitive
My first experience with Myst was in the early 2000's with Myst: Masterpiece Edition. Even as young as I was (<10) the game's mood and graphics were captivating. Those have stuck with me ever since. With every new contemporary version of Myst that comes out: RealMyst, RealMyst: Masterpiece Edition, and now this I keep on hoping for the definitive Myst experiance. The one with mood and atmosphere to match or even surpass the original, and is effortless to get running. This is SOOOO close to being that version but isn't. The graphics and visual aesthetic are fantastic, finally nailing that balance between modern realism and classic surrealism. The sound design is deeply immersive, the moment I stepped into Channelwood I could almost feel the humidity. It's all exactly how I hoped it would be. but then I saw Atrus's message to Cathrine and began wondering how such a slick expensive looking production would find it ok to replace outstanding FMV with cgi on par with a mid 2000's kids animated tv show. Then it started to bother me that there was no point and click navigation option. Then I found out Rime wasn't included. It started to feel like death by a thousand cuts, but luckly there weren't a thousand, only those few really, and a few other extremely minor things I would have preferred that were in other versions of the game. All in all this is almost the definitive version of Myst that I crave, so close I can almost taste it. It's still HIGHLY recommended for Myst fans and newcomers alike, and this will absolutly be the version I most recommend to newcomers, but I'll keep an install of that original Masterpiece Edition for when I feel the urge to wonder the island and it's ages again.
