Myst Masterpiece Edition

Best game ever! still holds up in the 21st Century.

Play realMyst for starters in island Myst, ChannelWood and StoneAge. Do it alone in dark for atmosphere. But then leave that version because it is not so user friendly UI etc. Complete game with this masterpiece edition with ScummVM on your phone and copy necessary files from your PC to phone. It is not very difficult, but game is.

this was one of my fav games growing up i recall it being super visually striking, but unfortunately the images in the game here are very pixelated and do not resemble the beauty it once had. i am thankful and happy the game is here but its not quite what i expected when i paid for it.

I'm pretty bad at puzzles in games but Myst has always intrigued me. The concept and lore of the series just really fascinates me: the idea of fantastical worlds created like an author writes a book, linked by actual books. Thanks to the kind gift of someone else on GOG, I finally gave Myst a try... ... and I had to resort to a guide just to get past the first puzzle. That's really my only actual complaint with this game: the puzzles are frustratingly difficult and make me wonder how anyone ever figured out this game without help. But, let's be honest, that's a lot of the appeal. Where this game shines, at least in my book (pun intended) is the atmosphere, story and overall feel. This game is pretty short (completed in 4h30m with a guide) but it felt much longer than it was. I felt like I was genuinely exploring the different Ages, trying to unravel the mysterious story behind them. The puzzles, while feeling rather unnatural to the environment, were still fun to do with a guide. They put the sense of adventure in "adventure game" as, even with said guide, I felt like I earned my way to the end of the game. The story is woven in a way that keeps the player guessing the entire way. When I reached the end and was faced with a final choice, I genuinely didn't know which decision to go with. I just chose what made the most sense to me. The story isn't as lore-heavy as future games (or so I hear) but the roots are like hints at what is to come. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the Ages are all very well-made and pretty for their time, feeling realistic and immersive despite their fantastical/alien appearance. Altogether, if you like challenging puzzles, laid back adventure, great environmental storytelling and remarkable atmosphere, this game should be on your list of games to try someday. I'll certainly play through it again someday (from memory without a guide), hopefully with realMyst! PS: I'm running Win7 and I didn't have the issues that one reviewer mentions.

I love these type of puzzle exploring games. Only hard and unbearable puzzle was the subway thing in space ship age.. Not even a puzzle, just trial and error for like tons different combinations to find the exit. Thankg God we have access to walkthroughs for that kind of thing. Everything else is great and fun to solve. Puzzle exploring and beautiful images. I miss the old days. Also, It ran with no problems on my windows 10.
