Myst Masterpiece Edition

The nostalgia is strong with this one. Excellent puzzles, the simple story with multiple possible endings holds up well, and the game still feels good even after 30 years. Highly recommended for those looking for a unique, somewhat pixelated challenge. For those just discovering MYST, it is a product of its time. That means frustration for those used to puzzlers with a steady stream of clues or clear visual feedback when you press a button. Don't forget to look behind you and you can easily miss things if you don't read (and listen) carefully. I wish I could take off half a star simply because the sound puzzle for the rocket is still nightmare fuel for those of us that can't tell an octave from a semitone. Kudos to GOG for throwing in an option to give more leeway on this puzzle.

Playing this game for the first time in 2025. Obviously a bit dated graphics and slightly janky mechanics, but the puzzles still hold up remarkably well and there are a lot of things very well done in this game. You can get stuck and kind of hit brick walls in terms of progression, but if you stick with it, the "aha!" moments are exhilarating. If you can get past the dated graphics and are looking for a somewhat challenging puzzle game, I definitely recommend this, there is a reason it is a classic.

This was one of the first non-DOS games I had for my computer, and I still love it. The puzzles get hard at times, but it was so worth going through to see the world and get the story of what happened. I've played all the Myst games, and this one still has soft spot in my gamer heart.

There should be no surprise when I say that Myst is really old. The FMVs are okay as far as Full Motion Video goes. The environments don't look that great nowadays. But this game is still an interesting game to explore and experience. The game has really interesting lore and a decent storyline for players to uncover, and the puzzles are great. Some of them feel a bit out-of-plae or guess work, and I thought the Stoneship Age was just a huge pain in the a$$, but other than that it's a good game to experience for the first time (or rediscover it).

I just downloaded and tested the game on Windows 10 Home, 64 bits on a Lenovo Y50-70. It works flawlessly and very snappy. Check the forums of the games you wish to buy: there are usually reports on updates and bug fixes. GoG released a 2.0 version of the engine for this series of games which seems to have squashed all of the bugs. I can't say about the game itself, I have just played it for some 15 minutes, but I can tell you that for me, it was just install and play, no fuss.
