I had really high hopes for this game when I bought it, especially with all of the glowingly positive reviews.
Visually this game is quite stunning and the motion is amazingly smooth. While the story is intriguing and the characters interesting, the combat system is just really annoying to me and hard to get past.
I'm glad others are enjoying it, but I guess I'm not a fan of turn-based combat. I may shelve it for a while and try it again later...
Incidentally, the description indicates that this game will run on Snow Leopard, but it would not start on my 10.6.8 system. No problems on 10.9.5.
I bought my first Mac in 1993 for the express purpose of playing Myst. It was Mac-only at the time because it had been written as a Hypercard stack (Wikipedia it, I'll wait).
Experiencing the sight and sound of the Cyan logo drifting onto the screen and the familiar music and voice over was an amazing treat, and I was back in my crummy old apartment, sitting in front of a computer that cost nearly as much as my car, trying to make it to the next Age. There were no online guides (not much of an online anything) and I wasn't about to buy the cheat book. Talk about a different Age...
Once the game started, I was disappointed at the video quality. I checked the game options but didn't see the second tab at the top that takes you to the screen resolution and video quality. Once I found that and cranked up the video, I was back in Myst-heaven again. Note that it is possible to over-crank the video if you're not on a higher spec system.
You can play in "classic mode" which is the shot by shot view of the original, or you can enable full 3D mode which allows you to rotate 360 degrees and wander about.
This is a great effort and I'm thankful to Cyan for letting me replay a classic for the first time.

Awesome!
Ony played the first one in the collection, but so far it's great. The puns towards other fantasies are hilarious! Artwork is good, the soundtrack is amazing. Performance is good, runs fine on both my macbook pro (via wine wrapper) running 10.10.5 and my mac pro (via macos) running 10.12.5.
This DLC adds very little, so I definitely recommend to wait with buying it until it's nice and cheap. Trams look nice but not that useful compared to good old buses, and heating is actually more of an annoying money-drain than interesting feature.
