realMyst App Reviews

I never played the original Myst. I played the Room and Room 2. I found this to be a challenging game until I got to the ship level. After that I ran into several instances where either the clue wasnt apparent or I couldnt hear it (had to look it up on a walk through). Maybe its a recent glitch. Also you are supposed to remember facts from earlier in the game. Dont get this game unless you are willing to spend a lot of time exploring.

The game that started it all in the genre of adventures and hard environment puzzles. Its really beautiful, especially the channel wood world with its great water effects and amazing height trees.

Youre probably reading this wondering if this is something you should buy. Answer yes, is a great classic game the graphics are good the sound quality is fantastic and overall gameplay is very good so yes.

I LOVED playing room and room 2. Thought this might be same idea. Some of the reviews raved about it, some said was boring. It IS boring. I feel like the creators of this were the good reviewers. Not worth 7.00.

This game started out pretty slow and confusing because I didnt know what the end goal was. After hours of wandering around and trying different things, it started to make some sense. After days of play I finally figured it all out. I dont usually have patience for games like this but it was a winner in the end.

Whats it all about? Its a mystery story in a mystery land and youll get clues fairly quickly what youre being asked to do purpose while exploring the ages. Read, take notes and snapshots and LISTEN! I had the Original Desktop version in 1994 but couldnt get through it. Still enjoyed it. Bought this version for iPad and love it! The graphics and sounds are amazing. Still cant get through it all without walk through help. Some of the hints and sequences of puzzles are SO difficult to put together. It can get frustrating. And leave you with a puppy dog head tilt. No glitches on loading, bookmarking or walking whatsoever on my iPad Mini 3. Only one hang up is in Rime (the extra age at the end available depending on how you end the game). I couldnt get the preview video of Raven to play. Only a photo. W

The controls on this game are horrendous! The camera shakes. It literally made me puke! Dont waste your time or money!

My brother and I would play Myst for hours every Sunday back in the early 90s on our 1st home computer. You guys think six bucks is a lot? Try $60-100 for the CD rom back then! The game is not easy, but theres YouTube walk throughs if you get stuck. I like Myst bc its mysterious and thrilling with out being violent.

Must will never be topped by other puzzle games either by the puzzles themselves or the story. The only thing missing is the rest of the sequels besides Riven.

It does not get stuck on the linking. Remember it is a large game with outstanding graphics. Large amount of code to process and good graphics will result in slow loading AKA linking

It is beautiful to play and difficult enough to challenge you while still being playable. I love it...but after downloading iOS 9 the game isnt working correctly. It is freezing and is working as it should. I click a book then nothing works after that or I click one book and it freezes on the book. Sure hope they fix it. I was just really getting into it.

It froze on the book in the gear and I cant go anywhere.....WHY and how do I fix it???

I thought this game would be fun, however I cant open any of the world books. Game just hangs, is this an issue with IOS9?

I can do anything on must isle but if I try to use the book to go to the gear age the game freezes and I have to turn it off. I love this game but, clearly it needs work...

Its a bummer I spent money on this game. Id like my money back. On my iPad 2 the sounds layer on myst island after I raise the boat - its very obnoxious, and I can no longer link to any ages. Upon going to a book it freezes and Ive tried to erase and re-download only to the same effect at the same point. Its pointless to spend hard earned money on a game you cant finish. Please fix or refund me ASAP. This is far from cool, dont download. Big mistake.

I love this game SO much but the bugs are making it mostly unusable. Most books to other worlds wont open and freeze the game. Pleassssssse fixxxxxxxx!!!!! Also maze in world with noises that cue you in the right direction direction (spaceship thing with compass on railroad looking tracks, forget the world name) doesnt play noises so I had to cheat to pass this section only to get to the book that doesnt work. I have the latest iPad OS.

Attempting to go to other ages glitches out and forces the game to close.

I made the mistake of purchasing this title after consulting the most helpful reviews and not the most recent. Unfortunately, if the game ever fully worked, it doesnt seem to now. As others have reported, it now locks up any time you pick up a book linking to another age. This is one of those cases where a one star review will jump to five if this is ever fixed, but unfortunately the game is unplayable in IOS 9 at the moment. Update: Cyan quickly responded to my bug report and indicated that the game would be patched in the near future to resolve the IOS 9 incompatibility issue.

Easily a five star game...if you fix the book links to other ages. As reviewer after reviewer has noted, these links are broken and freeze the game. Some of these complaints go back a year-- really, we Mysters are naturally patient people, but its time to fix this. Please help !

Ive been playing for over an hour and just cant get the hang of this navigation. Its awkward and clunky and Im totally frustrated with how hard it is to get where I want to go. If you dont approach something juuuuuust right, you have to back up and turn around and try all over again. Its just too hard to get around and this is really interfering with my enjoyment of the game. Im one of the ones who played Myst way back in the day on cds and loved it, but this version is nothing more than an exercise in frustration. Im happy for everyone who has played this iPad version and loved it, but apparently, Im not going to join their ranks. Its beautiful and haunting, but just too frustrating. I want to spend my time enjoying a game and solving a mystery, not struggling to navigate. Developers - check out XON for a 3D game with elegant and intuitive controls. Can you make Myst more like that? Oh, that would make me so happy!
