Myst (Legacy) for Mobile App Reviews

Loved it, controls are simple, puzzles are very logical and range from fairly simple to complex. Paper and pen help on the more complicated puzzles and paying attention to all the little details throughout is a must. I finished the game sooner than I would have liked, so naturally I found the fact that the Rime age was not included in this version to be very disappointing. If there is a Rime update in the future I will re-review with 5 stars.

I dont get it. And no sound on iPad 3, iOS 7.

This game was soooo good in 93 and now its even better that I can play in my pocket. Memories!!!

I would have given a 5 star review but my iPhone 4, iOS 6.x can only do sound mirroring via AirPlay. Is there a way to do video mirroring?

If you were around when Myst first came out then you remember how original this game was. Well, its all right here. If you are looking for fast paced action, violence, blood and gore. Well.... Look somewhere else. If you are looking for a fun, relaxing, visually pleasing, good sound track, mind/logic puzzle game that pulls you in then give it a try. Just remember this is a "blast from the past" and not a modern/new game. It is "clean" meaning it is children safe. There is are a few small sequences where a man appears slightly insane/strange and another that appears manipulating/evil. No harsh language or crude references. Spoiler----- Two brothers are each trapped inside a book. Both try to convince you to help them. One is evil, the other mental. Their message is garbled with static (like a tv) that is reduced as you progress in the game. In the end of the game they can communicate clearly and you have to decide who is truthful. You do not interact with them, you only listen. The times you see them are brief and not a central part of the game. They might appear "strange" to some younger people if they dont understand the role the characters are playing. They look normal, no gore.

When I bought this app I thought I would be able to transfer this app to my iPad air not only was I not able to transfer the app to the iPad air but they wanted another 6.99 to buy the app for the iPad great game great graphics but in my mind its double dipping and greed wins out once again

I originally played this game on the Sega Saturn game system and was amazed by the images. Yes the are static 3D pictures but the fact that someone was able to create them gave me happy dreams of the future of gaming graphics. The game works just fine on my new phone and I had little trouble navigating the worlds. Sometimes I went the wrong way but it was mostly due to screen size and finger size. I beat it fairly soon after buying it but I can always let my young family members play it when I see them. Its still fun to explore.

The graphics are so bad and gameplay is clunky. I cant believe I wasted $5 on this. Save your money

Challenging and rewarding. A refreshing change of pace from games driven by in-app purchases or grinding.

This game is not as well known as I wish it were, but Myst is positively timeless in itself. Ive beaten Myst a few times in the past, but every few years Ill go back and play it again once I forget the details, and Ive never become sick of it. My grandfather introduced me to Myst when I was about 12 years old, and I immediately became hooked. Fourteen years later at 26, I still love playing this game and it doesnt have that disappointing "old game feel" that so many others do. The puzzles, the exploring, and the thinking required brought Myst to a status above most games Ive played, and the challenging, but not overly-difficult nature of Myst makes it a satisfying achievement to finish it at any age. Myst is a game ahead of its time, for sure. The iOS adaption is awesome, and Im certainly not disappointed! I say you should do yourself and your neurons a favor and experience Myst now if you havent already!

This is a great game to play any time. However I only rated it 4 stars because I wish the screen size of the game was bigger to be able to fit iPod touch 5th genration

Pointless, confusing and frustrating.

Ive only heard about Myst and never played. Only because by the time of its release I was still at a young age of 11 yrs old and games such as this was never in my radar. I was only able to grasp platform games such as Mario and fighting games such as street fighter II back on the SNES golden days. Then evolved to shooters like golden eye on N64. But I digress... Now at the age of 30 and my taste in games have evolved (namely puzzle adventures such as this, Ghost Trick, The Room I & II for iOS as my current all time favorites), Im extremely glad I came upon this old gem. The mysterious adventure that Myst throws you into is one of a kind. The puzzles were an absolute pleasure to try and solve as I wandered around the islands and traveled to different Ages. I really tried my hardest to not use any type of guide but unfortunate to say I did use it only once. And that was at the Selenentic Age trying to navigate the tunnels. I love puzzles and especially if its accompanied with a story line. So, if you really enjoy solving puzzles of any kind you should definitely download this. It was worth every penny.

I thought it was going to be awesome. (Something like "The Room 2") Not really... I WAS NOT satisfied. Personally.

No patience? Dont play. Want something to challenge you. Buy it.

Nothing has been upgraded to fit current technology and the control is the worst. Dont purchase this game. Its a waste of money

Buy this game!

This is a classic, which lends itself well to the mobile format. I enjoyed playing through it again. Its also nice to play a mobile game that makes me use my brain just a tad.

Myst is just as fun to play now as it was over 20 years ago. Its puzzles and intriguing story kept me playing for days on end. My only complaint is it isnt optimized for the iphone 5 screen.

This has to be my favorite game of all time. Well, its much more than a game. Its "a portal to another world." I have played the game once, then read all three books, and played it again years later, and it was just as amazing as when I first stumbled into MYST...
