Release Date: December 10, 2020
A remake of an adventure game from 1993, in which the player finds himself on a beautiful island covered with mystery. Myst is a new version of the original, enriched with an improved graphic design, also prepared especially for Oculus Touch controllers.
Myst is a new installment of the classic first-person adventure game, produced by the independent studio Cyan, the authors of the original Myst and the warmly received sequel Riven. In response to the fans' requests, the developers prepared a remake of the cult adventure using the Unreal Engine. The updated version allows the player to immerse themselves again in the secrets of the island, also allowing them to explore the world using VR technology for Oculus Quest.
In terms of plot, Myst is not much different from the original. The player again moves to the island, which he decides to explore. Over time, he finds the books, drawn up by a certain Atrus, enabling him to travel between worlds called Ages. In each of these worlds, the main character discovers new clues, allowing him to gradually learn about the history of the island.
The gameplay takes place from a first person perspective (FPP), using the classic point-and-click interface (for the PC version). This time Myst is also available for VR sets, so you can play it standing up or using the whole room. This will increase the gaming experience and the feeling of being in the game world.
The goal is to explore the available worlds and collect clues about the history of the island. It also has to deal with various puzzles, which this time, if the appropriate option is activated, can be generated at random. The end of the Myst is dependent on the decisions that the player makes during the game.
Myst is a three-dimensional edition of the original with a refreshed graphic design. Unreal Engine was used to develop this version of the game. The new version of the cult adventure game includes new graphics, audio and interaction options, and allows you to explore the surreal world using VR technology.

PC Gamer: 68 / 100 by Christopher Livingston
This modern remake of the classic puzzle game doesn't stop it from feeling out of date.
Thumb Culture: 4 / 5
As someone who didn’t play the game when it originally released, or even touch other versions, I was presently surprised with what I experienced with Myst. The puzzles aren’t stupidly hard, and when I cracked most of them it left me feeling accomplished. Although the story did feel lacking at the start, even after reading the four books we get. My mind was quickly changed, and left wanting more and can’t wait to start playing the sequel Riven. Would I say Myst holds to the test of time? For sure If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend you check it out when you can. But I do confess that I used a guide for the tunnel puzzle, that one is probably the most difficult puzzle the game has. So with all that I am giving Myst the Thumb Culture Gold Award. Here is hoping Riven offers the same great experience.
RPG Fan: 85 / 100 by Matt Wardell
Myst is an evergreen classic that deserves your attention and patience.
