Absolutely terrific. Despite writing this years after finishing it, every aspect of Myst remains stuck in my head. The atmosphere, the puzzles and their respective solutions, the corny live-action FMVs, the stories in each of the journals, everything about it.
Myst is such a wonderful and unique game that it's no wonder it's stood the test of time. The only reason I can't give this version a 10/10 is that the realMyst remake, despite its many improvements, has some annoying rough edges to it.
That being said, if you can look past a little bit of jank and don't have the patience for the imperfections of the original, realMyst is a very accessible way to experience Myst for the first time without sacrificing the vibes that make it so lovable like the 2020 remake.
