As soon as I started Myst I was blown away by the graphics and immersion of the game. You get intro and then you are on your own. Hardcore puzzle solving right here like good old days. Loved it.
Myst is a port of a game all the way from 1993, that was remastered several times to meet modern graphics expectations and it did that just right. Game looks stunning, the freedom of action is breathtaking and the fact that you have no idea what to do next is horrifying.
For the first 10 minutes I was exploring the small island, checking into every building looking for the clues, but I found none. Although somehow I interacted with many objects on the Island and finally got a slight idea on what to do next.
The best moment in this game is when it clicks in your thoughts and everything comes together. You can connect the clues and things you've seen before and realize what to do next. So just like that, almost randomly I managed to get the sunk ship back on water. Straight after that I went to explore my newfound property and decided to check the book inside. That was a mistake.
Book teleported me to the new area without a way back. I got stuck and remembered that I've seen some books and skipped through their content without reading. Big mistake. Now I am all alone on the unexplored rock without slightest idea what to do.
But then again after some exploration items in the game got connected, and I progressed bit by bit. Surprisingly I've found all the stuff I needed on that island and rushed back to the main area. From now on I will be more careful when reading books.
Overall the game is fantastic, and its hard to describe its good sides without spoiling it for you. Its free now, so you can download it and try it to see for yourself how good it is (its about 25 USD on Steam, so its a good deal). If you wont like it you can always delete it.
