KSD: "Myst represents art of the highest order. Trans-dimensional portals aside, few of the objects you encounter in Myst are truly alien artifacts. In another context, or in another game, the rocket and the dentist chair might so befit the environment that you wouldn’t even give them a second glance. But by presenting them as broken-down, misplaced objects whose function doesn’t match their form, the game disrupts any sense of acquaintance before it can settle in as a veil over their essence.
This is why the world of Myst still, in 2016, feels more genuinely extraterrestrial than any number of more overtly fantastical (not to mention better-funded, better-staffed) studio creations. It’s true, of course, that some of these objects will eventually function as tools to be used in solving the game’s puzzles. Thus the hand cursor has two different modes, one for what is interactively ready and the other for what is merely present. But since, in this game, we never have a proverbial rug under our feet to begin with, there is no sense of security restored and no comfort regained when a puzzle is solved. There is only a kind of passing levity before we re-submit to the gravity of the tangible."
The original Oculus Quest is slowly being shuttered. Here are all the games dropping Quest 1 support so far.
The original Oculus Quest is dying a slow death as Myst joins the Quest 1 support exodus taking place this year.
Jahanzeb writes: "Myst on Xbox is far from being the definitive version of the game, as in the process of modernising the graphical and visual presentation, it loses much of the artistic charm of the original 1993 classic. It’s certainly nice to have full 3D movement, but even then, the experience lacks the functionality of the original point and click control scheme."
Can't even put into words how great an experience this game was.
