Almost 30 years after its original release, puzzle classic Myst has been updated for the modern age. The new version brings improved textures and lighting, virtual reality support, and better performance thanks to Metal 2.1.
Is that enough of a reason for Myst veterans to pick it up again?
The answer is most definitely yes. Three decades is an eternity in computing terms, and so much in Myst has been improved. The most striking change comes to the graphics. Now, the game looks absolutely stunning. Crank up the settings and you’ll get beautiful god rays, detailed shadows, enhanced lighting, and high– resolution textures. It’s incredible to look at. The only thing lacking are the 3D face models, but you can swap those out for the original full–motion video graphics in the game’s settings.
