Myst

(1/6) > >>

Luke:
If you haven't played any of the games in this series, you really are missing out. Myst was the first of a series of games that pretty much started the trend in making detailed games for PCs.

I've played through the entirety of Myst, Riven (Myst #2), and Exile (Myst #3). We have Uru (which I believe to essentially be Myst #4), but we need to make some improvements to our computer to get the graphics working properly. If you like puzzles, then this is the top-of-the-line in puzzle games. The graphics are absolutely beautiful, too - even in the original game (Myst), which was designed for Windows '95.

I won't even get into how great the story behind this series is.

Anybody else here ever played these games?

ElRodente:
i have, but i've never owned it, so i never got very far.

Switchblade:
Tried them, and very quickly grew tired of them.

I'm inclined to agree with PC Gamer UK here... there are so many INFINITELY better puzzle games available, yet people keep coming back to a trilogy that was never particularly special in the first place.

elcapitan:
I finished Myst, and haven't played any other games in the series. I agree that there are better puzzle games - some of the puzzles in Myst were completely illogical and infuriating, and some were just fiddly to do with the interface provided - but the atmosphere was amazing. The island of Myst itself was great, spooky and convincing; I kept wanting to look over my shoulder.

Stifled Dreams:
I played Riven with my dad and my brother (I played some of the Mysts too, but Riven was more recent). Those games were pretty fun, but also pretty hard. I agree with what the good Captain said - lovely atmosphere.
