“So, I think this is a well made and reasonably fun game. The reason I am recommending not to buy is for two reasons. First, it doesn't hold up to todays puzzling standards. I came from Blue Price, the creator of which…”
“Fun puzzle game No context only logic”
“As a newcomer this was pretty fun, though compared to some other exploration puzzle games there were very few headscratchers as the game mostly relies on finding the literal solutions to puzzle around the world. Still…”

“I highly recommend this game. I played it originally in the 90's and loved it. The remaster is amazing! If you love looking for clues and solving puzzles, this is the game for you.”

“I think this game pose's a great challenge and does the 90s version justice Imo, besides that this game is a solid 10/10”
“Very good adventure/puzzle game. Now it's clear why it is so well known as one of the old classics. Difficulty is nice, without any needed guidance, except carrying a notebook to take notes, even though the game does…”
“Excellent game. My GF and I beat this game in a weekend and it's definitely on my list of top games to play. I would suggest trying to refrain from looking up any hints and take your time. The ending is worth the…”

“Anyone already familiar with the vanilla game or even realMyst can still find enjoyment in this version even if you don't play in VR. The ability to have randomized solutions to the puzzles really helps gives this…”
“It's a solid remake of the original. Fans of the original will like the updated visuals, and there are some modern options that make the interface nicer. I like the randomized puzzle option, so that way even veterans of…”
“I have now completed all of the Myst versions for PC that I know of. I played the original way back when. It came on a single CD. I was mesmerized. It was rendered in 256 colours. Then came Myst Masterpiece, rendered in…”

“A fun escape room puzzler with randomized potential for replay-ability. Most of this game is about exploring the world to discover the solution to the puzzle, and then implementing it successfully. The fun little world…”

“I gotta be honest - I went in expecting something between The Talos Principle and The Room series. What I got instead was a very short game with just a few vague puzzles... and that's about it. The game itself is fine,…”
“Having never played the original, and as an enjoyer of games clearly inspired by this game (The Room series), I'm baffled as to how little I enjoy this game. Some puzzles solutions are extremely unintuitive. Solving…”

“MY RATING: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10 A faithful remake of a timeless point and click adventure. It doesn't quite hold up to the look of the pre-rendered graphics in the original. To be fair, I don't know if you could ever capture…”

I played the original when it first came out, I played the masterpiece edition, I played RealMyst (with stereoscopic shutter glasses when that was a thing), and just now finished playing this version in VR (MeganX 8k, index controllers). Performance in VR was fine -…”

I enjoyed it so much I proceeded to buy Riven and then Myst III when they came out. The graphics may have been updated or improved from the original and maybe not as good as some…”
