Going back to experiencing it for the first time, I am not sure, if I would still recommend the original Myst Masterpiece Edition on PC.

That is why I tend towards the more original experience, all with the slide-show presentation and so on.īut, as I mentioned, I got to know Myst (and its first sequel Riven) on the playstation, which had some advantages (e.g. I started my journey in the Cyan's worlds of Myst with the ports on the original playstation console.
