Meanwhile, the game's original geometry has been overhauled-now for the third time, after two versions of realMyst and this time inside Unreal Engine 4. AdvertisementĪ few changes to the original game remain since its first realMyst touch-up. Mercifully, players won't have to rewind their brain to the unfamiliar universe of mid-'90s CD-ROMs, but the heart of each puzzle remains intact. In general, I prefer the new touch-ups, in part because I imagined an entirely unfamiliar player trying Myst for the first time and having more obvious, mechanical items to click and manipulate. Once touched, the mechanical switch animates with a chunky sound effect. Instead of clicking in the center of a painting to activate a door, for example, you now have to aim at a mechanical switch next to the painting. I always appreciated that option to split the difference between the old and the new.Ī few of the game's switches and machines have been touched up to account for either VR compatibility or the shift to modern controls, too. I'm honestly peeved that the latter has been removed for non-VR players. There's no menu toggle to revert to the original game's slideshow style-nor the realMyst 2000 edition's 'node-by-node' smooth walks between the original game's frozen moments.
