Our Expert Score

91/100

Myst (Legacy) for Mobile is a stunning achievement in porting one of the most important games ever made to a handheld format. The original surreal atmosphere of Myst Island is preserved perfectly, and the touch controls actually feel more intuitive for the puzzle-solving than the original point-and-click interface. Swiping to turn and tapping to interact makes you feel truly present in the world.

The audio and visuals have been meticulously re-assembled, and the inclusion of a 'Bookmark' system and a built-in hint guide makes the famously difficult puzzles much more approachable for a modern audience. It’s a moody, brain-teasing masterpiece that everyone should experience at least once. Having it available on the go without losing any of the original's soul is a gift to adventure game fans.
