As the game has been completed overhauled with full 3D graphics, you can walk around freely with WASD keys and controllers just like any other first-person game.īecause a lot of the puzzler-solving in Myst involves moving between locations and different ages, being able to walk around fluidly is a godsend. Thankfully, in this version of Myst, you’re spared the point-and-click frame-by-frame movement of the early versions. Bashing your head against the same wall for hours is part of the experience - though, don’t feel bad if you end up seeking help from a guide from time to time. The brain teasers in this version are the same familiar ones they’ve always been. Whether it’s reading notes, inspecting nooks and crannies, or simply listening carefully, Myst will give you a slight nudge when you’re paying attention. What’s important to note is that the clues are all there in the open. Figuring out where you need to go and what you need to do is a part of the grander puzzle at play. As such, it doesn’t hold your hand at all while at the same time not pulling any punches. Myst is as old school as it gets with adventure puzzlers. It’s masterfully executed world-building with an interwoven narrative of the highest order. Every new Age pulls you in further, begging for its fragments of the story to be discovered.

The incorporation of time traveling across its various ages works as both a clever gameplay mechanic and a powerful storytelling device. Every puzzle, note, character, and location reveal small nuggets about Myst island and its former inhabitants. What makes Myst’s storytelling incredibly compelling is the way it’s trickled to you. And in the end, you’ll be faced with a difficult choice, one that’ll define the way the game finally ends.

You take on the role of an unnamed person who stumbles upon a mysterious book titled Myst. And just like in its earlier days, talking about the game’s narrative in-depth would do a massive disservice to anyone who hasn’t played it yet.Īt the heart of the game lies the mystery of what is going on. It’s a cornerstone puzzler that stands the test of time thanks to its silent yet compelling world-building, challenging brain benders, and absolutely breathtaking visuals.įrom its very first release in 1993 and to its 2021 remake, Myst’s story hasn’t changed at all. To Todd Howard’s chagrin, though, Myst is a title more deserving of the remaster treatment. Jokes aside, they’re also both masterpieces that should be played by every gamer worth their salt.
