The new, enhanced remake ofMystlaunched today and was immediately available for Xbox Game Pass. Originally announced back in September 2020,the newMystis also available for Oculus, Steam, the Epic Games Store, GOG, and the Microsoft store. It does not appear to be launching for any other consoles at the moment, but it may be available for the Switch or PlayStation at a later date.
Mystis the first game in a series of point-and-click adventures originally released for PC. The puzzle adventure locked the player on an eerie and mysterious island, forcing them to solve riddles. There are several games in the series, most with the same sort of creepy atmosphere and all with head-scratching puzzles. But developers Cyan recently remade the game from the ground up, adding brand new graphics, a VR mode, better puzzle randomization, and even what it calls “re-imagined interactions.” And players can experience it again or first the first time withXbox Game Pass.
This is a great piece of video game history becoming more accessible to the next generation. TheMystseries is filled with titles that have won awards, including Game of the Year. It’s one of the fewopen-world games without combat, and it is attributed as being one of the first games to draw “non-video gamers” in. Its puzzles are still hailed as some of the most difficult in video game history, and it is probably one of the most deserving older titles of such a beautiful facelift. Hopefully, this is just the beginning, as it would be great for the gaming community to see remakes of the otherMysttitles as well.
Mystis available for PC and Xbox Game Pass.
