Myst

I was really looking forward to playing this game after hearing all the hype for it, since I'm a big fan of puzzle games. Sadly I was disappointed. The puzzles were either way too simple or way too obtuse. And I found myself bashing my head against a wall repeatedly, and not in the fun way. The fact it took me two hours to complete a single puzzle at the very start of the game, because I missed a note lying on a random rock, probably spoiled the rest of the experience. But I feel my opinion would still be largely the same. Mainly because I feel the fundamental flaw with the game is that its sometimes way to direct, basically handing the answer to you. And sometimes it doesn't even try to hint at what your goal for a puzzle even is. Plus it often forces you to jump through a bunch of hoops just to retry a puzzle. I also didn't find the story very interesting. It had potential for depth but ended up pretty shallow and predictable. Okay, I know I've been bashing it, but it's not a horrible game by any means. Some of the puzzles were fun and rewarding, plus the visuals are nice. My favorite part was actually the post endgame Age. I'm sure this game was great in 1993, but I think there are much better puzzle games out now that have greatly improved on Myst's dated design. Good luck beating this without looking up any hints! I certainly don't blame you if you like this game, I can see the appeal, but it wasn't the game for me.

Didn't know anything about this game. Got sucked in; I can't really put my finger on why, just that I always wanted to reach the next step. It's atmospheric and you feel you are there. The VR part is a bit clunky. The textures are a bit rubbish. It's not optimised. But you put the shortfalls behind you because you think you know how to solve the current puzzle and give all your focus to that. I'm in my 50's and like games like The Room VR, so that'll give you some context. That said, my 11 year old son watched it on the monitor, then insisted he play in the headset. He never normally plays my games, not Alyx, he didn't even like Batman. This game caught his interest. Myst differs from The Room VR in that you are not following a track, you are dropped on an island and are free to go where you want and investigate whatever you want. At first nothing makes sense, but slowly you start to see how some things could possibly link together. The game rewards you by opening up.

puzzles don't hold up to the test of time, not worth the price. 4.5 hours of mid gameplay

Buen juego de puzzle, mejor persona.

Great puzzle game, that perfectly recaptures the early 2000s point and click adventure game

came from the blue prince developer, but couldnt stick around for the puzzles.

If you enjoy puzzle games with little direction as to what to do, then this game is for you! Just challenging enough to keep you engaged without being super frustrating.

Good game.
