100The 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.
-
88It really feels like you're doing a death defying high wire act. You WILL get dizzy - guaranteed - it's that immersive.
-
83RealMYST 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.
-
The ultimate nostalgia trip—a classic game that plays just as you remember it, untouched by the hand of time.
-
80The immersive world created by realMyst was a visual and auditory joy, but it was still essentially a game I had played before, even with the addition of Rime.
-
It is really the same old fable of greed and evil and hope and redemption wearing a fancy new dress and the latest shade of Revlon lipstick.
-
An interesting take on the classic game and a must-have for fans of the original.
-
70Although a brief new Age (Rime) with additional puzzles and subtle foreshadowing of the Riven sequel has been added as an ending bonus, it's not really enough of an incentive to play MYST over again.
-
What keeps realMYST from earning the high honors is the problematic control system that makes clicking on the right areas difficult; especially the much darker nature of the environment at night, making navigation quite hellish and the solving of puzzles relatively impossible.
-
The newly enhanced graphics and sound, coupled with the new age, may be reason for some to revisit the land of Myst, but the overall effect is one of "been there, done that."
-
65If you love Myst, then you're best to keep it where it belongs -- happily sitting back in your memories.
-
65You need a really good idea and revolutionary technology to actually achieve something on the market, and puzzle-adventure games are surely not top-of-the-pops.
-
64Unfortunately, the 3D engine serves only to make Myst a much more frustrating game.
-
Just because the engine has been updated doesn't mean the game is any less tedious or frustrating than it was in its original form.
-
This "directors' cut" version turns a bad game into a horrible one, thanks to an uncomfortable control system and bad framerates.
