Video Game Reviews of Myst
Customer Review: great fun worth its few shortcomings
Summary: 4 Stars
Myst is a fun, fascinating, addictive, and very difficult first person puzzle adventure game with a good storyline. The plot isn't immediately obvious, but is revealed bit by bit and finally in its entirety at the end. You must figure things out partly through making inferences based on what you know and partly through written clues.
Finishing takes patience (it's a LONG game) and an ability to figure things out that aren't immediately obvious and/or cheating by using strategy guide (you can buy one or find one on the internet) or asking someone who's played before.
The game's settings are each innovative, very pretty, and feel very realistic, with the exception of the water in Myst (it looks like a giant green mat). Rand Miller's performance in the game as the character of Atrus is good enough, and his performance as Achenar is even better, as is Robyn Miller's as Sirrus. The sound effects and background music are great.
I do think two puzzles are unfair, but they are solvable if you cheat (see above) or have a really good memory and a really good ear. The interface also makes getting to certain locations more of a hassle then it should be sometimes.
The ending (even if you get the happy one) explains a lot but leaves many questions unanswered.
Despite ifs flaws, I love it and highly recommend it.
