Myst was quite the revelation when it was first released, striking up a critical furore over its photo-realistic visuals (despite being point and click), as well as the depth and strangeness of its gameplay. It also become quite notorious because of its difficulty level, yet it has nevertheless earned its place in the annals of gaming history, and is a title that more discerning gamers wanting a challenge ought to check out. The visuals are absolutely gorgeous throughout this game, and still hold up very well today. Of course it gets away a little bit because it isn't always using an "active engine" and uses point and click-style adventure gameplay, ...  Read the complete review

Myst is a game in which you start off in the docks of a surreal island. The game itself comes with very little in the way of instructions on how to play, you just get a blank book for making notes and a sheet that tells you how to rotate the tower above the library. On arrival in Myst I found myself asking some questions:- - What is the objective of this game? - Where is the strange island of Myst? - When is the strange island of Myst? - Why are there strange levers located around the island, a sunken ship and a bizarre rocket? - Who are the two strange bearded men in the red and blue books with animated TV screens in the ...  Read the complete review

This is one for the 6 week holidays I have to tell you. Its not a platform game that you can pick up and drop. Its quite an indepth game and every puzzle in the game matters either on that level or on another level.

Myst, I think is a very weird game that is trying to top the amazing time laps. I think the only up side of this game that i can think about is the graphics. Myst is a relatively new game, and the aim of the game is to get to the end of your journey. There are a number of different puzzles that have to be solved before you can move on in the game. It is smooth and the game play is great, but this game just did not do anything for me. It is however, nearly there...and if the makers didn’t try and copy games like the 7th Guest, and the 11th hour, then it would be there as an individual. The story its self is weird. You might disagree with ...  Read the complete review
