The Witness employs the open world / puzzle solving structure that
made Myst such a classic.
Not exact matches
This week, GOG.com
makes that waiting really pay off, because they're dropping the prices on a ton of classic games like
Myst: Masterpiece Edition, The Incredible Machine, and Outcast.
This
Myst inspired title allows players to solve puzzles while exploring an open world island complete with natural and man -
made structures.
Now Cyan, the team that gave
Myst to the public back in 1993, have brought back all the things that
made the classic puzzle game stand out from the crowd.
The
Myst games were
made with a level of attention to detail that is almost unparalleled in videogamedom.
Needless to say,
Myst has changed the way players view graphic adventure games and the way designers
make graphic adventure games.
According to an announcement released in the game's official website, Cyan has spent the last few years obtaining rights to
make all of the
Myst games available.
Beyond the technical advances
made at the time, which are rendered moot by continual hardware / software progress,
Myst's substantial contribution is really in the use of geography and separating elements of a puzzle to different locations, rather than having everything located in a defined space.
