Myst on Steam: Should You Buy It?

Highlights and Advantages:

• Stunning, atmospheric visuals that haven't aged poorly.
• Groundbreaking puzzle design that remains challenging and rewarding.

• Obduction: Cyan Worlds' spiritual successor to Myst, with a similar sense of mystery and exploration, but more modern graphics.
• The Witness: While stylistically different, offers similarly complex and rewarding environmental puzzles.

What You Need to Know Before Buying:

Myst is an older game, so ensure your computer meets the minimum system requirements. While generally straightforward, some puzzles can be quite challenging and require logical thinking and patience. You should also consider your preference for point-and-click adventure games and whether the older graphics are appealing to you.

Extra Tips:

1. Watch a gameplay video to see if the gameplay style appeals to you.
2. Consider playing the game with a walkthrough available, but try to solve puzzles yourself first.
3. The game has a strong narrative focus, so pay attention to details in the environment.
4. Take your time; Myst is best enjoyed at a relaxed pace.
5. Explore every nook and cranny – secrets are often well-hidden.
