Sure you could take a book from the library on Myst island and walk over to manipulate a puzzle with the reference book full of clues in your free hand, but I played Myst VR on Quest 2 in a much more satisfying way. So you’ll hear stories of families sitting down around the old computer in shifts with a pencil and paper notebook charting out their clues and theories as a shared journey. This is a game about paying attention to your environment and trying things out until you figure out what works. Myst VR is really a single-player game, of course, but the honest truth is that it was always hard and could test the patience of a single human well past the point of quitting. What is it?: Single-player puzzle game set on a mysterious island. So what to say then of the same game now that VR transports you there so much more completely? The same is still true - its visuals and overall atmosphere still create vivid memories despite severe computational limitations.Īnd it might just be one of the best unofficial co-op experiences you can find with an Oculus Quest. That’s the magic of Cyan Worlds’ classic puzzler - its visuals and overall atmosphere created vivid memories despite severe computational limitations. It is also true for the newest version of the game you can play in VR - rebuilt with levels of detail likely to elicit an “oh wow” from folks who already have rich memories of Myst’s locales despite never actually “visiting” its islands.

This was true when the groundbreaking game came out in 1993, it was true for the versions released for various consoles and, later, for phones. In the first hour of Myst VR you realize you should grab a notebook for recording clues to help solve the mystery.

Myst is highly regarded as one of the most important PC games of all-time and now the original developers have rebuilt it for VR for a brand new generation.
