![]() ![]() In this fantasy game, you play the role of a heroic rebel. Join our community on Discord and talk directly with devs and other fans around the world. The world awaits the rise of a hero who will take the fate of magical forces into his own hands and without hesitation embark on a thorny journey for a brighter future. And where the light perishes, evil intensifies and grows ever so rapidly. I really want to see Myst writ large, with a scale, detail, and ambiance that match its epic premise.The balance between light and darkness in the land of Occoterra is upset and Eshudell’s last rebels are brutally defeated. It's just not natural or realistic (even in the fantastical sense of realism that the later games in the series had). Everything there was built for a single purpose, being delivering a clue or serving as a gateway to a different age. ![]() Each building is a single tiny room and the island itself would have gotten washed away in the first storm that hit it. Even just considering Myst island, this was supposed to be Atrus and Catherine's home, where Sirrus and Achenar grew up. Everything is just too small and too "just so", as if someone made a papier-mache model of a world. ![]() ![]() The original Myst was groundbreaking for its time, but a modern gamer won't be able to escape noticing all the ways the design was limited by the technology of the time. While it hits the nostalgia button for a lot of people, I don't think this game will have much impact in bringing a new generation into the Myst universe because the design is so dated. The designs, layout, and puzzles will be almost identical to that 30-year-old game. It's maybe more accurate to describe it as a modern reproduction. That said, I wish Cyan had been more ambitious with this remake. This is a complete remake with realtime 3D graphics, not just some minor update to a 30-year-old slideshow game. Congratulations, you weren't paying attention. I feel sorry for the folks who fall for this marketing garbage and buy a game expecting it use even 1% of their hardware. There's absolutely no reason why a game that just plays back videos would have caused "noisy fans" to turn on. This game was nothing but static images and pre-rendered video sequences. ![]()
