Myst Mobile for Android

Controls were a little clunky but perfectly adequate enough to complete the game without much frustration. I had a great time. It’s a bit short and could probably be a little more difficult, but it’s fun and satisfying while it lasts. I’d never played it before, so it was cool they brought it to iOS. I hope they do a similar remake of the sequel as well.

So when I downloaded this I thought it would be fun because I love escape rooms and puzzle but when I joined I explored and Loved the start and when I got to play I did do something’s but honestly it’s hard and boring and not fit for the phone or mobile to be honest k think you can fix it I like how you make it challenging but I have a suggestion that you can add hints and make it more fun thank you for reading❤️💖🫶🏻😄

Hello! I haven’t actually played this yet but I had to download because my name is Myst. I’ll come back and do an update after I play. I hope it’s as amazing as me 🤣

This is the latest mobile version of Myst, more recent than realMyst. You can play the Myst island portion for free and then pay $15 to unlock the other ages. I played the entire island, unlocking all of the linking books to other ages but not visiting any of them. Being on a mobile device, this version of Myst is a bit different and there are some difficulties with moving and manipulating objects, but for the most part it works pretty well. I would have very much, however, liked an explanation of how the interface works. Figuring it out through trial and error was not the most enjoyable experience. They’ve simplified some of the puzzles to accommodate the interface, for instance you no longer need the match to light the fire under the boiler for the tree. And the switches for the sunken ship are now much more obvious than the red/green in the original game. The spaceship keyboard puzzle is just as annoying as it’s always been, but I was eventually able to complete it successfully. I chose the puzzle randomization option, and some of the randomly chosen solutions were absurdly easy to solve. For instance inside the clock tower all I had to do was pull one lever once and it moved to the solution. The graphics are good. They’re definitely better than the original game. The sound is good. The island still feels like it did in the original. The “movie“ scenes with the characters have been replaced with CGI. There is 3-D movement and viewing. This game taxes the resources of my device at the highest graphics settings. I have an Mobile 9th generation, and the back of the tablet got hot while playing, almost uncomfortably so. Additionally, the battery was draining pretty quickly. I eventually turned down the graphics settings, concerned my Mobile was getting too hot. Maybe the more powerful tablets can do better. Overall, I think they did a pretty good job making this work on a mobile device. The nostalgia factor is high. I’m not sure if today’s game players will appreciate it as much as those of us who played it back in the day. but I certainly enjoyed it. The price seems high—it’s twice as much as realMyst. Because the interface is still a bit clunky at times, and because they don’t include instructions on how to move and interact, I give it 4/5 stars.

I found the game to be really easy to use and play. It really caught my attention and overall a great brainteaser. I wish there was a second game!!
