“Not having any nostalgia for this, having just played it for the first time, yeah, it's pretty good. It's about equally as much about the sandbox element of just wandering around these unique environments and fiddling…”
“A historical masterpiece of its time! Myst is currently 33 years old (as of 2026) yet beats most modern-day point n' click puzzles. The universe is so interesting and the puzzles are timeless and fair. Most 90's puzzles…”

“Myst holds up pretty well, all things considered. The puzzles aren't head-bangingly frustrating as I feared, and are actually quite satisfying to figure out. (there are a couple I did need to look up, and most of them…”
“Such a cool fantasy concept, the vibes were immaculate and were delivered exceptionally well despite what's now considered primitive gameplay. The puzzles churned my mind but i did manage to solve the bulk of then om my…”

“A classic for a reason. It has old graphics, but charm. It was one of the first games I remember learning to play. It is nostalgic for me. If you want to kill a few hours with a point and click game, it's worth a buy.…”

The problem is it is so old and jank. I was stuck on a level for about an hour because I did not realize you need to close the elevator door before it…”

Although if you are going to play Myst for the first time I recommend that you play Real Myst: masterpiece edition. (Unless you are on a budget, prefer the older look of this version, don’t care for a free roam…”
