realMyst

Anyone else having issues trying to airplay the game over Apple TV? Keeps shutting down.

My dad would tell story’s about how he played when he was little so when I found out it was playable again I got it for his birthday.

Looking forward to playing an old childhood favorite. But there is no sound. I see some similar reviews. I recall sound being one of and best aspects.

Graphics are great!! I have only made it to the Mechanical Age. I have spent several hours trying to get the Fortress rotation Simulator to work. If you are going to try and play on an iPad Pro 10”, save your money.

Some scenes in the Stoneship age are so dark as to be unplayable.

This is still the same old great Myst, it’s always intriguing. I think it could use a graphical update though m, it’s rough. The areas feel too condensed sometimes and you get stuck on parts of the environment. I hope one of these versions of the game will expand the environments someday and give us more stuff to interact with to enjoy the worlds. It’s be cool to just mess around in the worlds after you’ve competed the game with something to do besides walk around. Also the menu can be kind of hard to access since the newer iphones already have a swipe up to close. The white line for the “tabs” or “swipe up” never disappears so that’s annoying as well. Hopefully Myst 2021 will be out on PS5!

Why does the ipad version not have everything the other version has such as icons for sound, flashlight etc.? The only thing it has is drag to bookmark, turn on while moving, invert, nothing else. I really want to play this game but without the flashlight it’s impossible because you cannot see in the dark and I’m stuck trying to find a door.

I played this game back in the dark ages, so I thought I’d try this version. It was a waste of money. First. I kept accidentally touching the bottom of the screen and pulling up the saved game screen. But the worst part of this version was that it gave me motion sickness. I had to delete it a few days after I bought it.

I played the original Myst on my computer many years ago, one of the best games I have ever played. This IPAD VERSION is horrible! It is very awkward getting around to say the least, much harder to play. But the corker was the fact that when you went about collecting the pages for the books, you could only bring back one at a time. So for all the gyrations you need to go to get the pages in each world, you need to do it twice. First two worlds weren’t bad, but when I got to Channelwood got one page, I think to myself, I am not doing that again because the stinking software only lets you carry one at a time! It stops being fun in a big hurry. IF YOU NEVER PLAYED THE COMPUTER VERSION DO IT IT’s GREAT. But don’t bother with this please.

Played the pc game back in the day, own the prequel (book), and have also played Riven. Attempted to play via the app and seems like there are always glitches that prevent the game from being finished. Currently, can’t get out of the water in the tower at shipwreck island (you’re not supposed to be able to get in the water) because the floating chest blocks the steps. Restarting device doesn’t resolve the glitch. So play ends up being total waste of time. [Gave two stars instead of one since the developer subsequently came out with Myst Legacy which I also purchased thinking it would be an improvement over this one but instead it just has superbly awful (way worse) graphics and gameplay (control) changes from this version that rendered what historically was an engrossing game completely unenjoyable/boring.]
