The game is pretty excellent, but it’s impossible to go on. You’re always getting stuck!

I bought Myst based on the reviews that I found. All of the reviewers seemed to like it and so did the people I knew who played it. Unfortunately, that just led to a huge disappointment when I played the game.
One of the main selling points of the game was the gorgeous scenery. I will give it that, the scenery is indeed well-done. But, I was often annoyed by how much stuff they threw in that you couldn’t do anything with. You wander around, find something that could be fascinating and realize that it doesn’t really do anything. The whole game felt like a demo for what computer graphics could be like instead of an actual game.
What’s more, I found the game pretty dull. Not anything ever really happens plot-wise. Which doesn’t have to be a terrible thing, really, if there was something fascinating to keep your mind off that fact. I spent the whole time I was playing the game honestly bored. I also admit to having to use a walkthrough to get past a couple of puzzles. And they weren’t ones I felt stupid about afterwards either. The hints given in the game are dreadful. Many solutions to the puzzles come out of left field. And then I hit the piano puzzle which I found impossible to get past. After a few hours of failing miserably with that I gave up never to play the rest of the game. And after reading the rest of the walkthrough was not at all miserable about that choice.

I got it as a gift from a relative and when I played it made no sense, I went everywhere, and it was just sooooo dull that I haven’t played it since and that was 3 years ago.

I give this game 2 stars because the people who made it basically made it in their house and now they’re millionaires. I give them credit for that.
That still doesn’t hide my secret irritation for this game.
Maybe half the fact is I don’t know what the heck is going on. The other fact is that every now and then you get some character or maybe something that is supposed to be like a character, but in the end all you’re doing is going owing to a series of backgrounds. If strolling owing to a museum sounds like “Die Hard” to you, then this is your game. My final complaint was it was essentially like a terrible Zelda dungeon: endless puzzles, one after the other. Maybe its a thinking person’s game, but it’s still incredibly dull and repetitive. I’m surprised they didn’t have a puzzle to open the box, and then another puzzle to get the CD key, and then the CD key was a puzzle, and then…
So yeah…just what the hell WAS going on?

I can see why this game was so hyped in 1993. CD-ROMs were cutting edge and the “slideshow” graphics are honestly excellent and so is the sound. But, the tale isn’t as fascinating as the ambiance would have you reflect and the movement is absolutely, irritatingly choppy.
I don’t believe anyone has ever finished this game without some help. There is too much slow clicking around and backtracking to keep the attention of even the dullest person.
I don’t like having to resort to hints in order to play a game because it’s released before the necessary technology is truely ready.
REALmyst?…I no longer care. Riven and Myst3?…even more clue-less and irritating, I’m sure.
