Customer Ratings & Reviews

If anyone has played the original PC game of Myst all those years ago, the Masterpeice edition is a wonderful return to the game. The 3D rendered world not only opens up the environments significantly, I feel like it makes the puzzles more accessable and less tedious to solve. And although the graphics are a definite improvement compared to the original, they still keep very true to the original design and atmosphere so as to not loose their vintage feel. For anyone who has never played Myst before, it is a puzzle point-and-click style game with a story largely told through writing and FMV cutsenes. It's definitely cheesy in many ways, but is still an engaging and well thought out story with lots of imagination. Please understand that this game was originally released in 1993, meaning that it won't be as long as a game typically is now (this game it about 10 hours long), and the flow of the game can be quite different than modern games, especially since it's a slower type puzzle game. Even so, the game still holds up in many ways with good storytelling and intuitive puzzles. The puzzles in particular are still very well made and integrate very well with the story. If a puzzle does stump you though, the game does have a good hint system. It's good because it doesn't just give you the answers right away, but rather trys to nudge you in the right direction first. In the end, if you're interested in playing Myst, this Masterpiece edition is a great way to play it. It is also very important to note that anyone with hearing impairments would have a hard time playing this game. Unfortunatly there are no subtitles to the FMV cutsenes, and one puzzle in particular is only sound based, making it impossible to solve (although the answer can be easily looked up if need be). Reguarding this Swich version in particular: There were few issues with this version, for the most part it ran just fine. The loading screens can take a bit, but it does load the entire map which you will be in for a few hours with no additional loads so I think that's fine. There was some minor slowdown in the Channelwood Age (I think because it is the biggest map), but it does not affect gameplay at all nor did it crash the game. I only had the game crash on me once during the very end when I was trying to get a bad ending. I'm not sure why, but I believe the game was trying to go the load screen anyway. Either way, I say the Switch version is fine to purchase and shouldn't be a problem for 98% of the game. TL;DR Myst is a great puzzle game with an engaging and imaginative story. The Switch version ran with very few issues and I would say is a good purchase. Also please not that if you are hearing impaired this game might not be for you.

Very much like the old Computer version of the game. Wish it were a bit easier to move around.

It's pretty amazing how well this game still holds up and how challenging the puzzles can be. The original came out 27 years ago so this is even more impressive. Obviously this is a remake with 3D graphics which allows you to have much more freedom of movement to immersive yourself. When you start the game you're thrown onto an island to explore. They've added a hint system to help stop any frustration you may have from getting stuck. You're smart though, so you won't need to use it, but it's nice that it's there. If you love figuring out complex puzzles and getting lost in another world, this could be a great game choice for you. I'm so glad this game got a limited retail release. I just hope the sequel is coming in the future.

Great game, awesome graphics and comes with both games one and two! Great price and has great repayable value! Great gift for the gamer in your life!

I am a fan of Myst and have played every game in the franchise. When I saw that there was a Switch port of RealMyst, I bought it -- mainly for nostalgic reasons. I wasn't disappointed. If you've never played Myst before, keep in mind that while it was a breakthrough in the 1990's, compared to current game interfaces and gameplay it is dated. Still. I found it enjoyable. On the negative side, I did encounter issues. While I like the 3D smooth scrolling interface over the classic point and click interface, I found it difficult to operate controls while in 3D mode. I had to switch to classic mode to do so. Annoyingly, every time I did that a message would pop up warning me that I was switching to Classic which I had to click to dismiss. Worse, sometimes the game would freeze, not revert back to 3D mode, or ignore screen taps. When that happened, i had to close and resume the game. Hopefully this will be fixed in a future patch. On the plus side, errors were infrequent so more of an annoyance than anything else.

I loved playing Myst again after so long! It has been a blast from the past, and it was long enough ago that I didn't recall much about how to solve any of the puzzles. I highly recommend this game which is still beautiful and mysterious and engaging many years after its initial debut.

Being a fan of the original Myst of course had me interested in this. I continue to like the fact that best buy stocks on Limited Run titles as they are easier to get a hold of and sometimes have better cover art (such as this one). Not too deep into it but so far thoroughly enjoying realMyst.

I loved Myst back when it first came out & I played it for many hours regularly on my PC, so when I saw it was available through Best Buy for playing on the Nintendo Switch now I didn't hesitate to order it & I am so happy I did! It is so cool to be able to play this again after so many years....and playing it on the Switch now is even better with the improved picture & movement control, so I am totally enjoying it a lot! Luckily, I still have all of my Myst game guidebooks so if I get really stumped on the complicated puzzles that will help (but only as a last resort) since after so many years since playing it there is a lot I had forgotten how to solve....but that's a really good thing as I love the challenge! Now I am hoping they will also put out all of the Myst sequel games to also play on Nintendo Switch as well....hint hint!!! If they do....I will most definitely be buying those as well!! :)

I played this game over 20 years ago on my PC; the graphics are better but the game is basically the same; at first, I had trouble with the movement and the selections but once you figure out how to control the movements, it is fine.

This game is a much needed game in my life right now. I need to remember to journalize everything. This series was my fave to play on a pc when I was going through highschool and actually made learning about physics fun and enjoyable. I have many games that I want to play before dedicating that much time towards it, but I know that I will get to it when I get the chance to. I did pay around with it when I first got it and enjoyed it. I like how the remaster looks much better than the original.

I loved this game in the 90s and I love it now. Open world feature is a bit difficult to control but visuals are stunning.

I bought the PC version when It first came out, didn’t even know it was on the Nintendo switch. Awesome game!

I was excited to see this blast from the past available for the Switch. My wife was super into this game, back in the days of dual-up.

Great memories of the original. smooth scrolling is easier than the original clicking the mouse all the time. I'm happy t o pay the extra $15 to get the cartridge/case from Limited Run Games

Classic game now on the Switch platform. It’s a must-have if you are a fan. The bonus edition is a nice added feature.

Let me preface by stating that I have always loved Myst from back in it's early PC days so this review has somewhat bias because of my adoration for the game. To add in the ability now to move around more fluidly in a first person sense just adds a great element to this history of this game. It is still a great puzzle solver and if you have not played Myst before, you will be very satisfied with this deep thinking puzzler. Highly recommended.

This is a little revamp of a classic puzzle game I played as a kid. I think it is fun and I like the adaptation.

Fun exploration based puzzle game. Apparently it's a classic but it's my first time playing. Looks beautiful

It's the ultimate classic that redefined the video game industry! The Switch version is just as masterful.

Overall, I'm happy with the game. My only problem is that the controls can sometimes be a little tricky.
