## Review summary

RealMyst on iOS largely delivers a faithful Myst experience with strong puzzles and atmosphere, aided by a well-regarded port and graphics. The addition of the Rime age and true 3D navigation are frequently cited positives, along with nostalgic appeal for longtime Myst fans. However, reviewers repeatedly report enduring audio bugs or missing sound, awkward touch controls and small interaction hotspots that can cause motion sickness, and very dark areas with insufficient lighting options. There are also several glitches that impede progression, such as soft-locks and area-specific blocks. Overall, it's a strong pick for fans despite notable technical drawbacks.

- Excellent iOS port with polished interface and graphics.
- True 3D movement and improved navigation over the original.

### Cons

- Audio issues: missing sound or persistent audio bugs.
- Awkward touch controls and navigation; small interaction hotspots and occasional motion sickness.
- Very dark scenes with limited visibility and lack of a reliable lighting option.
- Several glitches that impede progression (soft locks, blockers).
