REVIEW | Myst

- Опубліковано 11 гру 2020
- Myst may not have robust puzzle mechanics or physics, but the newest version, built from the ground-up for VR, is an intriguing and immersive experience driven by experimentation and exploration.
B-Good: B grades are given to games that are decent all-around. These games are above average in many areas but have occasional flaws that diminish their overall experience. While not legendary status, these games are without question still quality titles.
How We Grade Reviews (Updated 6/21/23)
About Our Grades
We feel the best way to grade a game is with letter grades (defined below). While the most important part of a review resides in the actual text/video, the final grade is a summarization that puts a bow on the entire discussion. Grades provide a single, digestible summary that’s useful for those who may not have time to watch an entire review or may not want to watch gameplay footage at all.
Our Grades:
S-Legendary: S grades are reserved for the very best games ever made. These games are legends of the medium. They have few flaws, are excellent in multiple areas and represent the very best of what gaming has to offer.
A-Great: A grades are given to high-quality games. These games are enriching experiences worth tons of praise. Their strengths far outnumber their flaws.
B-Good: B grades are given to games that are decent all-around. These games are above average in many areas but have occasional flaws that diminish their overall experience. While not legendary status, these games are without question still quality titles.
C-Average: C grades are the middle ground. These games are playable and generally fun and/or adequately made. While they may not excel in any one area, they don't completely fail anywhere either.
D-Below Average: D grades are given to games that feel substandard and/or underwhelming, though some may still find them playable or enjoyable.
E-Bad: Games with an E grade do not have enough upside to be described as playable. These games are bad. If they have a strength, it’s quickly countered by numerous weaknesses.
F-Broken: An F grade is reserved for games that are broken and/or unplayable. These games have few strengths, if any, and are crippled by numerous bugs, design flaws, and other weaknesses.

NOTES:
1-I say in the video that toggling between sprinting and walking is on the right stick, this is incorrect. It's on the left stick.
2-You may notice the footage looks a little stretched. The Quest 2 only records one eye and there's no easy way of fixing this. There are some third-party ways of recording wide-screen footage but I wasn't able to use any of them for this video. I'm working on having a better option next time I record footage directly from my Quest.

B-Good: B grades are given to games that are all-around fairly solid. These games are above average in many areas but have occasional flaws that diminish their overall experience. While not legendary status, these games are without question still quality titles.
C-Average: C grades are the middle ground. These games are playable and generally fun and/or adequately made. While they may not excel in any one area, they don't completely fail anywhere either.

So what grade do you give Myst?…B?
I'm a very long time fan of the series. I played it on Panasonic 3DO way,way,way, back in the day. Cyan always impresses me. I just got my quest 2 yesterday and cannot wait to be on myst.
3DO MASTER RACE💪
"the MYSTery that shrouds all the islands."
Brilliant.
I WANT RIVEN. Seriously. I never played Myst as a kid and its VR graphics are kind of janky at best, though I was still engaged enough to finish it in about 10 hours. I remember playing Riven in the 90s and thinking it was the most beautiful game I'd ever seen, and wanting to go to wherever looked most like it IRL. I know Cyan has bought up the Starry Expanse fan project to recreate Riven in 3D and VR, so I know it's coming, but I really can't wait. Riven (assuming they get their lighting and shaders right) could be the best puzzle game in VR.
I used to love this one. nice to see it rediscovered and revisited.
I don’t know exactly how you do your recording, but when I cast to my laptop with the Quest, that site in the browser on PC has a toggle to switch to widescreen
Excellent, well articulated review!
I used to play this game on pc.

This is out of the subject,
Save yourself and pray that God will forgive you for your sins. Dear God, I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died for my sin and that you raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord, from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen. God forgives your sins through the sacrifice of Christ.
And enjoy a clear conscience, eternal life, forgiveness, and fellowship with God.
Ok
