    A well-done remake, especially if you can play it in VR. Gameplay changes are rather small, but randomized puzzles are a welcome addition. The photo mode, on the other hand, is botched. I’m not sure if yet another revival of Myst was necessary, but I must admit that revisiting this 26-year old classic again was an enjoyable experience. [11/2021, p.33]

    This modern remake of the classic puzzle game doesn't stop it from feeling out of date.

    Myst is a challenging puzzle game. I've never played the original it was based off of before, but I thoroughly enjoyed this remastered versionMyst is a challenging puzzle game. I've never played the original it was based off of before, but I thoroughly enjoyed this remastered version that came with all the bells and whistles of modern graphics and was also incredibly optimized.

    For one thing, this game is NOT easy. Everything you need to complete it is in the game, but it takes a very minimalistic approach and simply expects you to figure everything out yourself. I strongly advise against spoiling yourself by using guides, as it will ruin the fun of the game. My best advice to you is this: Examine everything carefully, try to find relationships, and rely on not only your sight but your hearing as well.

    My only complaint is probably with the organ spaceship puzzle. It was highly inaccurate, and many online have expressed the same complaint about being stuck on it. If you experience trouble with this part as well, feel free to find the solution online and don't dwell on it.

    My score of 7 primarily reflects the difficulty. The game is a bit too difficult for casuals. It was catered towards seasoned players who already have plenty of experience with puzzle games. If there were some sort of hint system incorporated in this remaster, I probably would've given it an 8.    … Full Review »

    but in this remastered it's very buggy and I have to restart save a lot.
    For the graphic is stunning, It has DL SS and Ray tracing even I didn't see any difference.
    Just improve a visual but anything instead is not impress, physically, interaction with item , character and motion still like 20 00s games.
    Not gonna comment puzzles because I think those part are original 's claimed.
    and they have randomize puzzles too but just random number no challenging at all.    … Full Review »
