What makes this a problem is the cursor snaps back to the centre of the screen once the stick is released. The point and click formula should still be very accessible but the problem here is in the implementation.Ĭontrols are the first obstacle encountered, when playing Myst on 3DS you navigate the environments with a cursor that has been mapped to the analogue stick. My initial concern was whether the game would hold up after all these years.
This would serve as a bad omen for the rest of my time playing the game. After firing up the game a second time I was surprised to find that it did this again and I’m still confused as to why. I thought I had accidentally pressed a button that might have triggered the game to skip the introduction but this wasn’t the case. These fond memories had me excited to revisit Myst on 3DS but what I found was an upsetting, messy port that doesn’t do the classic justice.Īlarm bells rang immediately when the opening cinematic stops halfway, cutting the narrator off. I have great memories of myself playing the game back then, with a pen and paper on my desk taking notes, trying to unravel the puzzles and meticulously scouring the environment for secrets. What made Myst unique was it’s hands-off approach to gameplay, allowing players to explore a peculiar island at their own pace, giving a great sense of immersion and mystery. If you had a PC during that time, there’s a good chance you’ve played it. Myst is a classic point and click puzzle, adventure that holds the record for being the best-selling PC game throughout the 90s.
