- 25 years later, beloved PC classics Myst and Riven just got new 2.0 updates - 23 May 2025
The history of Myst is lengthy and storied. The original game arrived in 1993, but, over the years, it's been remastered, remade, and expanded enough times that it can be tough to keep track of what's new and what's old. But one thing has always remained true: all it takes is a single screenshot, and you know you're looking at Myst. A true PC classic, Cyan Worlds' point-and-click is still one of the most visually distinctive games of all time. Riven, the sequel, looks just as good - in an era of high-fidelity and photorealism, these games still stand out by the sheer power of their design. And now, they've just been updated. The original version of Riven, and the 2000 re-release of Myst, are now officially in 2.0. Read the rest of the story...

- 32 years later, PC icon Myst finally feels complete thanks to a big new update - 28 March 2025
1993 was a transformative year for PC gaming. First came Syndicate, the superb strategy game from Populous creator Bullfrog. There was also a controversial and technically experimental FPS called Doom - launched in the December, it's hard to name a more influential shooter in the history of gaming. But Myst was something truly different. While mechanically it stood on the shoulders of the point-and-click pioneers built by Sierra, it was driven more by aesthetics, atmosphere, and tone. Even today, 32 years later, you can identify Myst by a single image. It's been re-launched, remastered, remade, and expanded, but now, thanks to a big new update from developer Cyan, Myst feels like it is finally whole. Read the rest of the story...

- The unexpected modern renaissance of point-and-click adventure games - 30 December 2024
In the 1980s and '90s golden age of point-and-click adventure classics, we were blessed with what has since developed into decades of self-referential comedy, iconic puzzle set-ups, and satisfying inventory management. LucasArts (now Lucasfilm Games) came in strong, furnishing us with family-friendly releases like Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, and Day of the Tentacle; Revolution Software's Broken Sword series played with somewhat darker and sexier (yet still silly) themes, while Cyan's Myst and Riven introduced a more somber and intellectual side to the genre.
