Tangential, but if you're looking for a game to scratch the Myst itch, consider Outer Wilds. It's similar to Myst in a Spaceship. In terms of software ethics the game does have some concerning events in its history, and I know people here are interested in that stuff more than elsewhere. But it's on Game Pass.
I only mention this because I just finished it recently. I'm not affiliated with the game or its owners/makers in any way.
- mackman 6y agoIt’s one of my favorite games of all time. Unfortunately, like Myst, once you’ve played through, you know too much to truly appreciate it again. Wish there were more games like this.
- mysterydip 6y agoIs there any replay value in a "rewatching a movie with a twist at the end and noticing all the signs this time" way?
- jrootabega 6y agoIt's also mostly reading, which is hard to do over again compared to passive cutscenes
- Duralias 6y agoThe Outer Wilds isn't linear, I know exactly what I need to know to end the game, the purpose of your journey is to discover that yourself. The game is about exploration and it just isn't the same as the first time. The only way that I have managed to re-experience the game is by watching others play it, it isn't the same although close enough.
- terracatta 6y agoThe Witness (by the same person who developed Braid) felt very Myst-like to me as well. Highly recommended, the puzzles are incredibly clever and a lot of fun to solve with a partner.
- stryan 6y agoThere's also "Obduction", which was made by the creators of Myst, and "Quern", which is very heavily inspired. I'd also recommend the Submachine series. They're 2D point-and-click adventures instead of the 3D approach but still very much the same vibes.
