Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ This clears in a weekend (5.5h main story), pick it up without derailing anything else in your backlog.
- ✓ It's tight: finish the main story and you've basically seen everything (6.6h to 100%).
- ✓ You enjoy puzzle-box logic and poking at every corner of a scene.
- ✓ You like being made to think, not just react.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You want fast-paced gameplay. This is deliberate and puzzle-heavy by design.
- ✗ You want fast-paced action. This asks you to slow down and solve, not react.
Track Myst in your backlog and see where it ranks against everything else you're playing.
