As someone who loved the adventure games of the 80s and 90s but somehow never played Myst, do you think it would be worth my time in 2020 to give it a play through?
- Rury 7y agoAll a matter of what you like to do with your time. Myst was a great adventure/puzzle game for its time. Although IMO, Riven and Myst III were better, with Riven being the pinnacle of the series. I would replay these if I were to play any of the games in the series again. Otherwise, if you're looking for something more modern, I'd recommend Quern.
- grogenaut 7y agoIt'll probably run a lot better on modern hardware.
- bambataa 7y agoI started playing realMyst recently (for the first time). Must admit I found it a bit unfun. Perhaps I just didn’t get into it enough but I found the puzzles sometimes quite unintuitive. I’ve also started The Witness and enjoying it more.
- Baeocystin 7y agoI know many people have very fond memories of it, and I don't want to disparage that, but I remember finding it dreadfully dull. And I liked the slower-paced games of the time, like the Infocom text adventures, or SimCity. But Myst just didn't engage me at all. I felt like I was looking at movie set posters with marginally-designed minigames attached, and it just didn't do it for me.
- scroot 7y agoMaybe play realMyst to get through it. But Riven is the real masterpiece, because the brothers took all of the lessons they learned and made something really amazing
