An immersive and clever game that revolutionized the puzzle and exploration genres. Followed by a solid sequel.

Myst was one of the first games I ever played "hardcore". I would come home from school everyday and play Myst. It was even a family thing as my father, mother, and sister all played it and pitched it. We'd collaborate and play it together, piecing the puzzles and story together bit by bit.

The graphics were gorgeous, a wonderful combination of cinematics and rendered scenes. Combined with a great fantasy story line and unique concept of written worlds becoming reality, Myst stands out as an immersive and quality work.

The sound is amazing in Myst. From the ambient bird chirps in forests to the water lapping against the walkways, the sound draws you in. The music is great as well, ethereal and beautiful.

The puzzles are very clever, and not overly difficult, but it does take a lot of time and patience.

Myst spawned several sequels, a book series, and collectibles, such as soundtracks and gehn's gun.

Myst is a must play!
