Myst
Myst is a first-person, 3D puzzle adventure that could put modern day gaming to shame. Released in 1993 and with breathtaking graphics and innovative gameplay, Cyan’s Myst was clearly way ahead of its time. Despite breaking into high sales numbers on release, it was overtaken by The Sims, and a lot of people that did own it didn’t see it through due to its unusual (for the time) gameplay.
With puzzles similar to those in ‘escape the room’ style games, Myst is a peaceful, yet challenging title that gives a different ending depending on the paths you choose – a concept rarely done in its day. Highly recommended if you want something that will test your logic without threats from enemies and health bars, where completion of the game makes you feel similar to finishing a really good book.
