Since MYST, it's predecessor, had over 4 Million copies sold, PYST takes over from there allowing you to explore the same Island. The storyline behind PYST was nothing but a teaser. What I got was a horrifying disappointment. What I thought was that I had received a wonderful game with a comic twist. MYST is one of the greatest games of all time and here in my hands was a parody of the mighty master of point-click-solve software. It's not worth the price of Myst, but a couple of million people might appreciate the joke.Īs I opened the box to PYST, I was overcome with a sense of joy. Pyst's humor ranges from the sublime (the "I bought Netscape at 20!" graffito in the Horror-Scopium) to the sophomoric (clicking on the bong and seeing a puff of smoke is fun, but I could have done without the dog piddling on a totaled car). Unlike Myst, Pyst offers no problems to be solved - the excruciatingly enigmatic hints scattered throughout are meaningless and just part of the joke - but this shortfall is partly compensated by the appearance of Roseanne's John Goodman, who has a jolly good time in his brief cameo as King Mattruss. The disc has 10 amusingly cluttered tableaux, including the Chernobyl Room (a nuclear reactor that appears to be only slightly safer than the one in The Simpsons) and Alien Trash (which reconfigures Myst's famous rocket as a creaky rust bucket with an AC extension cord). In Pyst, players take a tour of the eponymous dump of an island, which (as perky guides explain in breezy voice-overs) is about to become a high-priced real estate development. of a Space Idiocy" was to the Stanley Kubrick movie: a pretension-busting romp through a ripe-for-puncturing cult classic. Make your way through the littered landscape of Pyst, aided by the mysterious King Mattruss, and enjoy what is clearly a *parody* of a game, rather than the real thing.Īs the first-ever full-fledged parody of a CD-ROM - excluding all the half-baked games that are parodies of themselves - Pyst is to Myst what MAD magazine's "201 Min. Dead animals line the docks, windows are smashed in, graffiti is everywhere, and the dignified rocket is down being used to dry clothes. I am also open to trying other editions first but from what I've read, these 2 version are better playing experiences for people new to the series.Four million people have explored the world of Myst-and they've turned it into a dump. Also, I do not care much about VR so that won't affect my decision (since I know a lot of people recommend 2021 for the VR). My only worry with the 2021 edition is that I also wish to play the rest of the games in the series and I wouldn't want to be thrown off by the art style change. I loved the art style in Obduction so I assume I would like the 2021 edition, but I am not opposed to the older style of the Masterpiece Edition. I think I have it narrowed my decision down to the Myst 2021 version or Myst: Masterpiece Edition (not realMyst) as I have read both are great versions. However, I saw that there are many versions of the first game in the series and I am having a hard time deciding which one to play. I was very excited when I found out they had a large library of previous games. Hello! I recently played Cyan's most recent game Obduction and loved it.
