Is the game myst good

Answer 1

If you like doing investigations, solving obscure riddles, walking around an island seeing only one image at a time (or in the case of RealMYST, a remake of the game where it is a full 3D world), doing a lot of investigative reading and taking pages of notes while you play, then yes. Myst is a great game.

Although the game is interesting and mentally challenging the first time you play, it has absolutely no replay value unless you play it again after suffering from amnesia or 20 years later when you've forgotten. The solutions do not change and everything is has the same result save for your final decesion on where you place the final red, blue or white page (the 3 possible endings or a 4th where you fail to bring the white page).

The sequels become more challenging and prettier and the replay value increases with each new Myst game. The book series (Myst: The books of Atrus, Tiana and D'ni) are quite interesting if you like a bit of fantasy reading, but it is not essential to playing the games.

I like the series, but I find that it's not a game for eveyone. Especially nowadays when gaming technology has quadrupled and then some in leaps and bounds offering something that Myst couldn't compete with.
