![]() MYST for PCVR took everything I wanted my MYST experience to be and brought a smile to my face. Listening to the music on the Stoneship age really has this futuristic tone to it and is something I could listen to as it really is that relaxing. Some puzzles will require you to listen to get things just right and it seems to have more of an impact here. Sound is also an important factor in MYST. From the small details such as the individual keys on the piano (fun puzzle) to the going through the mazes and blue fog of the Selenitic Age really comes through in VR and again brings an immersion that MYST was always destined to have for VR. Releasing it on Oculus Quest/Quest 2 and now PCVR shows how pretty the graphics really are. Already before being reworked for Virtual Reality, MYST looked good. It really just brings the essence to the immersion in VR that has to be seen as well as heard. See the murky water just barely move from seeing the detail on the bark of the tree to even hearing the crickets and frogs. Each of the different ages, Mechanical, Stoneship, Channelwood, Selenitic each bring the amount of detail to it that you can tell had a lot of work put in it from when it first released to even the new edition for PCVR.įor example, just look at the lighting right before going into the Channelwood age and then once you are in there. There is just something about being in the first-person view in this atmosphere as you try and figure out what is going on and why. Going through the different ages of MYST on PCVR really is beautiful in VR. So thank you for doing this Cyan, thank you. But Cyan did something here that solves the issue of needing paper thus saving the environment but doesn’t break any immersion and that is the implementation of being able to take pictures from within the game and being able to go to the main menu to look at your photos. So in the Oculus Quest/Quest 2 version, you actually have to pull away from your headset which honestly will break the immersion for many. When the game was released for the Oculus Quest/Quest 2, those messages were met with the CG counterparts. One of the things the original MYST is when you come across messages, they were in CGI and it just added to the experience. Do you want the ability to skip elevator and vehicle transitions, do you want to hurry up and downstairs, teleport, have smooth turning, play without sound if you are hard of hearing, have subtitles, have gameplay context subtitles, randomized puzzles? It’s really up to you. So now that we are somewhat brought up to date, we shall move on.īefore starting MYST, you will want to go into settings and really decide the best way for you to play. So as you are solving puzzles and going to the different ages, listening and reading the clues, you are in search of the different red and blue pages that are scattered throughout. However, due to greed and as punishment, Artus has trapped his two sons into books Achenar is in the blue and Sirrus is in the red book. Artus is married to Catherine and they have two sons, Achenar and Sirrus. He has created the book of MYST, a way of linking and teleportation that when someone touches the last page, they are transported. When you first start MYST, you do hear the voice of one Artus. The world of MYST can be an amazing one, but at times, can be confusing. So before we can move forward, there is a little bit of a history that needs to be said just to help bring you up to speed. To see the review of MYST that was done on the Oculus Quest/Quest 2, that can be found here. I really wanted to see if what was missing from the Quest/Quest 2 version has been added or if there were improvements implemented that should be noticed and that is what I decided on here. When MYST first was announced for VR, it came out on the Oculus Quest/Quest 2 and I reviewed it. And lastly, I started to think about how I was going to do this review per se. It is about the story that is being told. MYST is not about rushing through as quickly as possible. Second, try not to overthink everything as there are a lot of puzzles here in MYST, but the clues can be known if one just listens for them. MYST is not about rushing, but about the puzzles and the story. So before jumping right in, there are a few things that you will want to know. In MYST you play as an unknown person who comes across a book called MYST where you must solve puzzles while exploring the island along with finding the pages that will allow them to be transported to different ages of the island.
