Myst is a great game, but this remake is too concerned with fixing what wasn't broken instead of what was (and still is). Being built for VR is a neat idea for the game, but if you don't play in VR, everything is much more cumbersome that it was in the original; actions aren't as quick as they should be, and there isn't enough visual adjustment for environments that were only ever conceptualized for viewing from one angle. Whatever visual clarity comes from playing with an adjustable camera is offset by the sluggishness of moving through the world and interacting with the environment. As flawed as the original is, I still think it's the better way to experience the game.
