![]() ![]() Much like realMyst, Myst is fully explorable in 3D. If you don’t have a virtual reality headset, don’t worry: Myst, while definitely fun and playable in virtual reality, was originally made for a flat screen. There’s something about manipulating Myst’s puzzles with touch controls, and stepping into each of its ages, see these worlds from my perspective, that awakens a wonderment in me not unlike the first time I saw Myst’s full-motion video segments, and pre-rendered graphics. Myst has never looked so good, and that goes double for the non-VR version. It’s basically the same virtual reality experience as the Quest 2 offered, just with higher fidelity graphics-and sometimes that can make a difference. While playing Myst on my Quest 2 was very fun, playing Myst on my gaming rig with an Index headset is still fun, but now it looks even more spectacular. Those on PC will finally get a chance to deal with Myst’s enigmatic puzzles as if they’re in the same room as them. That means those who want to experience Myst in full virtual reality will have an easier time of it. The biggest change I noticed when jumping into this version is the addition of a photo mode which allows you to quickly take a picture you can reference later, in-game. Myst requires you to take notes to use later, and doing so in a virtual reality headset isn’t very easy. ![]() Released last year on Oculus Quest ( read my review here) it breathed new life into the original, but at the time, it wasn’t the best experience to play on virtual reality headsets. Myst, as this release is known, is a fully 3D recreation of the original Myst. But how does this latest release hold up? Myst is obviously a beloved classic that has been released on platform after platform. It was even rereleased as a (somewhat controversial) realMyst in 2014 and upgraded to realMyst: Masterpiece Edition in 2015 with upgraded graphics/better performance. There’s been a Nintendo DS version, a 3DS version, an Android release and more. Okay, I’m joking, but Myst has seen its share fair of rereleases since its original Mac OS release in 1993, followed the next year by a Windows release and then 3DO, Sega Saturn, Atari Jaguar in 1994, and PlayStation in 1995. Riven, I was stuck for about a month but I solved it eventually and was very proud of it (except for 1 very simple puzzle involving a door which frustrated me a lot because it was obvious).īTW, if you played 'The Witness', believe me that game is way way harder than Myst.There’s an ongoing internet joke about Todd Howard and rereleasing Skyrim, but there’s been so many releases of Myst at this point that even Todd has to be taking notes. The next one in the franchise was a different story. So don't give up, it's definitely doable. I think we solved it, my brother and I in about 3 days. I suppose you're finding it hard because it seems like you can solve any of the puzzles on the main island in no particular order (I can't remember if that's true though - I played it back then).Īll I can tell you is that Myst was considered a simple game. It's not like 'modern games' where the character tells you explicitly the solution (almost), or where to look. Then, roam around looking for clues with those puzzles in mind. I guess the more optimised way would be to visit all the puzzles on the island and try to figure out what you need to do to in order to unlock them. I like to think I'm on the more intelligent side of humanity but I'm losing my shit here. otherwise I'd just watch something on Youtube., but can I anyone give me a vague/subtle yet still actionable hint as to how to get the ball rolling? I'm not actually looking for full-on guides/walkthroughs etc. I assume there are clues somewhere to what I'm supposed to do but maybe I just haven't played one of these puzzles games in so long.? Or is it just that brutal and does not give any clues at all?Īm I the odd one out or does/did everyone else feel the same way when they first played Myst? I also tried the sequence of switches that's behind the little hole in the wall that opens up using the other book but that didn't seem to do anything. I read half way through one of the books in the main tower building thing about the dude who met the tree-dwelling creatures but it doesn't look like there are any clues in there. Wondering around aimlessly flipping switches. I just spent the last 20 minutes or so getting absolutely nowhere. I never really played the original as a kid (back when it was on PC) but I am completely dumbfounded. So I bought Myst (VR) for the Oculus Quest 2 and I just started playing it. ![]()
