Is Myst still one of the worst games ever?
- eesmith 7y agoFrom https://www.filfre.net/2020/02/myst-or-the-drawbacks-to-success/ https://www.filfre.net/2020/02/myst-or-the-drawbacks-to-succ... > Myst would prove to be one of the most polarizing games in history, loved and hated in equal measure. Even today, everyone seems to have a strong opinion about it, whether they’ve actually played it or not. > ... And yet, for all the love it’s inspired, the game’s detractors are if anything even more committed than its proponents. For a huge swath of gamers, Myst has become the poster child for a certain species of boring, minimally interactive snooze-fest created by people who have no business making games — and, runs the spoken or unspoken corollary, played by people who have no business playing them. 67 comments on the filfre post I quoted, from 24 days ago, at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22392469 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22392469 .
