![]() Very happy to recommend this title once again. I can enjoy this game equally as well in both desktop and VR so I think I'm just alternating between the two. So this time I'm going to absorb and understand every detail as I play through this wonderful adventure once again. I think I rushed the story the first time I played not realising the long franchise this would eventually go onto have (played them all btw). I've forgotten most of it so the puzzles are a challenge anyway although I think there's an options for making the puzzle solutions random if you do happen to remember them. I played the original during the 90's and I'm enjoying this version even more so. I also tried playing this in VR and although it has it quirks with the controls I found that free-roam is much better. I was so pleased to find that you can turn this back to the original movies within the options (should be default I think). Originally I though that the CGI character replacement for the sons was terrible and I thought that took away from Myst story. I originally wrote a poor review but I gave the game another chance. Good purchase only for those who want some nostalgia.Įdit: The game is also way too short for its price. The graphics are indeed very beautiful, but the mechanics and puzzles have aged poorly, in my opinion. At some point I even stopped listening to the story (that is mostly found in the blue and red books) because the dialogue was terrible and boring with huge pauses in between sentences and all 10 dialogues boiled down to "find more red/blue pages but don't take the pages of opposite color". The story was also extremely boring and it felt like it lead nowhere. Overall, I didn't enjoy the puzzles much. I solved most of them on my own except for 2 where I used a guide. This made me rely on guesswork to solve some puzzles, as most of them didn't even give any indication whether they were solved correctly or not. ![]() Instead, I found some very tedious and generally simple puzzles, whose difficulty comes from the fact that there is nothing to hint at how to solve them except some tiny environmental clues. I was expecting some really well designed puzzles that give that "a-ha!" moment once I solve them. It might be a good play for people who played the original and want some nostalgia, but I can't recommend it for new players. I went into this game with really high expectations because of the positive reviews from players and critics, and I was extremely disappointed. ![]()
