To start Myst, or realMyst, or Myst VR (whichever version you’re playing – it’s the same), you’ll want to grab a notebook. Solve the puzzles and find the clues, and you’ll travel to incredible new worlds. At one end of the island a rocket ship is parked ready to take you away. The island is home to a medley of unusual structures and mechanical contraptions from another world. The story starts with you, docked on a shoreline with a sunken ship behind you.

Myst: Masterpiece Edition – same as above but improved graphics.

Myst – original 1994 game, point and click, fixed viewpoints.If you’re comparing realMyst with another version you may have played, then here’s a breakdown of every version: Here’s a screengrab of me streaming Myst over on my escape room Twitch channel, shortly before I descended into “ oh my god it’s been an hour and I’m still in the first area“. Maybe just err, use a walkthrough for good measure! No judgement here. Just because I don’t ‘get it’ and find it super tricky, doesn’t mean it’s not an incredible game and worth all your time in the world. I still wanted to write this review because Myst is such a breathtaking game and years ahead of it’s time! The first version of Myst came out in 1994, before I was even born.

I’ve decided to tap out at the ~10 hour mark (possibly even more) and call it a day on Myst forever… Maybe… I mean, I might get it in VR to be honest.īut anyway, I’m getting side tracked. Recommended For: Retro gamers, people not easily frustrated! Explore the deeper connections and uncover a story of ruthless family betrayal. Welcome to Myst: the starkly beautiful island, eerily tinged with mystery and shrouded in intrigue.
