| Nymeria said: I never got Myst growing up, but it sold so many copies (6 million making it the best selling PC game of all time back then) in the 1990s. People acted like it was the future of gaming when I saw a pretty average puzzle adventure game held up by new technology of CD visuals. A more recent title that I thought was far better, but didn't come close to Myst sales was The Witness. Some games feel very time and place and don't age well, and think Myst was one of those technological curiosities that is lost when going back with twenty years of advancement. |
Myst had two things going for it. The great graphics (at the time) and the puzzle difficulty. The puzzle difficulty has definitely held up, even if the graphics haven't. Especially in the second game, Riven. If you can beat Riven without a walkthrough, it's a massive accomplishment, and very satisfying.
