The remaster of myst 1 is good, the remaster of riven is good.
Must 3-5 felt... Thin. Like, the game was about it being 3d and the tech... Not the puzzles.

I feel a true successor to the myst 1 & 2 games is Quern: Undying Thoughts.
Felt like the original premise, but in a modern game engine.

Another game that gave me the same hook as Myst is Blue Prince. A rogue lite puzzle game that is amazing.

    Myst 3 was okay. Balls Age was easily the best. The other two were kinda jank. The ending was INCREDIBLE.

    Tap for spoilerSaavedro’s “NOOO NO NO NO NO NOOO” wails of despair are amazingly acted yet they make me crack up every time I watch them. I will never tire of watching him scream.

    It actually is the game that gave me the biggest jump scare of any game I've ever played, too. Which is really really weird.

    There's a couple, but this one in particular:

    SPOILERhttps://youtu.be/JSuhE1ndwjc

    My wife and I were playing together one night, and both of us went "HOLY SHIT!!" when we turned around and this dude straight murdered us.

    The thing is, up until that point Myst had been a totally safe place. We walked around knowing that although you might have made a mistake, it could be undone. You just needed to find the right solution. It was warm and comfortable.

    Even when he ran up the path, we just figured it was the next part of the plot. It was super unsettling to be MURDERED and find out you COULD actually LOSE. Violently. With the dude running straight at you like in a nightmare.

    It really, really doesn't help that it is Brad Dourif murdering you.

    Obduction was okay, great world but really a slog to play. I got up to the end and couldn't be bothered to actually finish it.
