These fond memories had me excited to revisit Myst on 3DS but what I found was an upsetting, messy port that doesn’t do the classic justice.Īlarm bells rang immediately when the opening cinematic stops halfway, cutting the narrator off. I have great memories of myself playing the game back then, with a pen and paper on my desk taking notes, trying to unravel the puzzles and meticulously scouring the environment for secrets. What made Myst unique was it’s hands-off approach to gameplay, allowing players to explore a peculiar island at their own pace, giving a great sense of immersion and mystery. If you had a PC during that time, there’s a good chance you’ve played it. I hope you can find a lens prescription that can help.Myst is a classic point and click puzzle, adventure that holds the record for being the best-selling PC game throughout the 90s. The one from the mechanical age looks fantastic. The sections and screenshots they showed from some of the other ages are also significantly more detailed. If you struggle to see which one is which in those pictures, again, might be time for a trip to the optometrist.

However, I still even gave you the benefit of the doubt and assumed you meant realMyst Masterpiece Edition which is what those pictures are a side-by-side comparison of. You actually said the “old 3D PC version” which I think many who are versed in the history of Myst releases would interpret as the original version of realMyst, rather than the more recent realMyst Masterpiece Edition in 2014. a glance I can’t actually even tell which one is the old and which one is the new …they really don’t look much better than the last version of the game from five years ago. The only thing that is really the same is the design and look of the areas.

I don’t see any aspect of a re-used 3D asset. …at least here it looks like re-used assets with maybe a little touch up here and there… …in fact looks like they just took the assets from the old 3D PC version.
