    Your going to wish there were more games like this, an absolute classic of the highest order I smile just thinking about it.

    I haven't played Myst since it's initial release 18 years ago. After playing it again, I have to admit I'm still left utterly amazed. Even today, the puzzle elements remain cutting edge stuff. The 3D rendering was a nice touch in this version of the game, although the graphics could definitely use a much needed facelift.

The time of day and night even rotates to give an additional altering experience to the gamer.

    There were so many times I wished I could move around and explore in the original Myst game, but now you can with Real Myst. Continue the adventure all over again, for the first time in a new light.    … Expand

    I played Real Myst without any experiences of playing any other Myst games (including original Myst) before. I had a great fun with this game since I encountered all the puzzles in the game for the first time. The puzzles in the game are logical enough to be solved without any walkthroughs.

After I finished this game, I tried to play the original Myst but I couldn't finish it because it is just a repetition of the same thing with less amazing graphics than Real Myst. If you would like to play only one Myst game, I think that Real Myst is the one.… Expand

    The controls are horrible, but the graphics are nice. I'd reccommend downloading the demo to see the graphics, but I don't think the game is worth it.

    The game engine is very bad, choppy frame rates and this is on an AMD 3GHz system with 9800Xt video card! The orginal Myst is much better.

    I'm a dedicated Myst fan, and I would definitely recomend realMYST to anyone. I'm sorry to see that some people have negative views about such a wonderfully beautiful game, although the navagation is a bit difficult.

    This really brings back nostalgic feelings! MYST, a legendary game back it's time, refined with better graphics and an full 3D environment. Definitely a must-have for any adventure- and puzzle-lovers.

    A 3D port of Myst that works better on modern hardware. I feel that the freedom of movement and 3D detracts from the original but it's still basically the same game. If you haven't played Myst before I suggest trying the original; if you're unable to get the original working then pick up this version.

    Pros.:
    - Short, but very detailed idea of the world of Myst.
    - Nostalgia.
    - Amazing characters and cliffhanger.
    - Game play and puzzled.

    Cons.:
    - None.

    It is a masterpiece.

    Myst will always be the standard of the quest games, the top standard, which none can get today, unfortunately.

    Just because the engine has been updated doesn't mean the game is any less tedious or frustrating than it was in its original form.

    What keeps realMYST from earning the high honors is the problematic control system that makes clicking on the right areas difficult; especially the much darker nature of the environment at night, making navigation quite hellish and the solving of puzzles relatively impossible.

    The immersive world created by realMyst was a visual and auditory joy, but it was still essentially a game I had played before, even with the addition of Rime.
