I really liked that even for me, now, some of the puzzles were still hard, and I felt a certain level of real accomplishment when I solved them. The game is addicting, but not the kind that drives your mom (or now, in my case, my wife) crazy with sounds of death and gore everywhere. I especially like how so many clues to different puzzles are all available right when you first enter the game. I like that the game is quiet, introspective, and requires a good deal of real creativity when it comes to solving the puzzles.
Then, ever so slowly, the pieces of a deep and complex story fall into place, where puzzle after puzzle leads you through the evol ution rich plot and leaves it up to you, the traveller, to determine Myst's fate. The game plays out like a Sir Aurthur Conan Doyle novel where nothing is ever as easy as it seems it will hook you right from the start when it drops you, unwittingly, onto the island of Myst without any clear indication of what you're supposed to do but explore. Myst isn't like most other games found on the market today game developers today largely cater to audiences who crave either sensory-overload full-body-armor 24-hour-a-day immersion, or simple mind-numbing trivial entertainment.
Now, going back to it, I find that I still really like the game. I bought Myst because I had borrowed it from a friend and played it when I was younger. Definitely NOT for the action/adventure game player, but more for the player looking for other worlds, and a mystery (or two!) to solve. Lot's of wonderful graphics, and a fun path thru the many worlds. The ending is actually a bit of a letdown, but there is a reason for this as well.Ī wonderful intro to the worlds of Myst. Once you solve the puzzles and reach the end, you will be in for a bit of a surprise. But the puzzles and codes will keep you guessing and thinking throughout the game. This game is not an "action" game by any means. You explore world after world, finding even more mysteries to solve, and in the end - well, you play and see what could happen! You discover that there are 2 people locked away in a prison, and your goal is to find the missing pages of the books to free them. You begin to explore, and find clue after clue. You arrive on Myst to find a world that is seemingly dead, yet is mysteriously beckoning to be explored. Myst's look is noteworthy for featuring still images viewed from a first-person perspective, with interaction limited to manipulating a cursor over each static picture. As you progress in the game, you will find four other books written by Atrus that magically transport you to additional worlds, each offering more interconnected puzzles and clues to the storyline. By exploring the island, you will eventually stumble upon an assortment of puzzles in the form of intricate contraptions, whose secrets can only be unlocked after discovering evidence of their nature. Forgoing the character interaction and inventory-based puzzles found in earlier computer adventure games, Myst places you in a lonely, desolate environment with no obvious indication on where you should go or what you are supposed to do.
