Now that it’s being ported to the Xbox One, I couldn’t pass up the chance to see what new adventure awaited me. Staying true to their style, Cyan released Obduction back in 2016 for the PC, but I wasn’t able to get to it at the time.

It was a new gaming experience for me, as Myst provided almost no hand holding whatsoever and forced the player to rely purely on thorough exploration, puzzle solving skills, and keen observations. The strange and mostly empty worlds captivated me instantly, as did the mystery as to what had happened to the two strangers trapped within a couple books who were begging for my assistance. I’ve been playing their games ever since Myst was released in 1993.

Me, personally-meaning I’m not strictly sure whether there’s a real-life difference or if my opinions are colored by nostalgia. But there’s something special to me about an honest-to-goodness Cyan game. There have been some substitutes, some pinch hitters that tried to emulate that style. I’ve waited a long, long time for another Myst game. Those who've waited years for more games like Myst need look no further.' Once you figure it out the feeling of accomplishment and success is unrivaled. The game can be painfully unforgiving at times, and its puzzles might feel both confusing and unintuitive, but there is a logic at its heart. 'Obduction is a true successor to Myst and its legacy.
