Best of all, roomscale movement works right (so many ports scuff this up!) - Graphics: Phenomenal graphics in VR.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The narrative is interesting enough to hook you and make you feel invested in which decisions you make at the end.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is something incredibly comforting about arriving on Myst Island, exploring at your own pace and slowly uncovering its secrets.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Art direction and visual design always was a core strength of Cyan as a developer, even when the tech of all their older titles is now badly dated the style of it still typically is beautiful, and the music score and sound design underlying their games also still holds up well.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controller support, VR support, better quality options, changes to make some puzzles not as cryptic, etc.
Accessibility
Players who bring up Accessibility mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
To be completely clear, I am in favor of designing games in the interest of accessibility, so the goal of the development team to make the game easily playable while seated was admirable.
