  • Summary: Now you can experience Myst the way the Miller Brothers originally envisioned it -- truly immersed in a world that lives and breathes around you, where the weather changes, the sun rises and sets, the trees sway in the wind, and animals scurry by. [Mattel Interactive]

    The move to complete 3D freedom of movement and real-time environments adds a whole new dimension to the game, and finally makes it feel like it is a game rather than simply a series of static images and mental puzzles.

    RealMYST really is a great game. If you enjoyed the original, you'll be transfixed by how the worlds have changed yet stayed eerily the same.
  3. An interesting take on the classic game and a must-have for fans of the original.
  4. This "directors' cut" version turns a bad game into a horrible one, thanks to an uncomfortable control system and bad framerates.

    Your going to wish there were more games like this, an absolute classic of the highest order I smile just thinking about it.
  2. I played Real Myst without any experiences of playing any other Myst games (including original Myst) before. I had a great fun with this game since I encountered all the puzzles in the game for the first time. The puzzles in the game are logical enough to be solved without any walkthroughs. After I finished this game, I tried to play the original Myst but I couldn't finish it because it is just a repetition of the same thing with less amazing graphics than Real Myst. If you would like to play only one Myst game, I think that Real Myst is the one. Expand

    I haven't played Myst since it's initial release 18 years ago. After playing it again, I have to admit I'm still left utterly amazed. Even today, the puzzle elements remain cutting edge stuff. The 3D rendering was a nice touch in this version of the game, although the graphics could definitely use a much needed facelift. It's still a premier adventure puzzle game--an absolute must-play if you've never experienced it before. Expand

    The game engine is very bad, choppy frame rates and this is on an AMD 3GHz system with 9800Xt video card! The orginal Myst is much better.
