It does not work well as a game in the main series but if you treat it as an expansion of URU, although not fantastic, it is decent. Watson, Myst V was originally going to be an expansion for URU before Ubisoft pulled the plug, and instead had it turned into the last game in the main series.

Myst V although you don't get details in the game you are no longer playing as the stranger but as character you read about in URU named Dr. Q: Any differences between Real Myst and Myst A: Aside from it being in full 3D and a new age to explore after the game, the only changes I really noticed was the inability to skip actions, rerecorded ending dialogue and different frequencies in the Selanitic age. The main difference between Myst and Myst: Masterpiece Edition is that the former uses an 8-bit color palette, while the latter uses a 24-bit color palette.
In the 3D version of Myst, you can explore anywhere. It is not really part of the main series but a spinoff. In the 2D versions of Myst, you can only go to certain locations and turn to fixed viewpoints. In URU you create an avatar, it was originally built as an MMO version of Myst, (it is semi-controversial for that reason but I personally love it). Notes up to URU and Myst V you will have played as the stranger, the idea of the stranger is that it is not a video game character but you that have been transported to these worlds. I would suggest playing both before playing Riven.įrom there Riven, Exile, Revelation, the main quest in URU and to D'ni expansion in URU, and then Myst V.
I personally prefer the original slideshow format of the original but a newer play might like the realtime better. The first game to play is the first Myst, Myst Masterpiece Edition is the original, realMyst Masterpiece Edition is a faithful remake of the original in reatime 3d. For those three they have settings in which you can easily change the resolution to match what your computer is set to. All the games except for realMyst, Myst V, and URU are all pre-rendered with one resolution.
