Dear Esther vs Myst
Dear Esther
Dear Esther is one of the few rare games that managed to evoke strong powerful emotions simply with beautiful visuals, euphonious instrumentals, and an immersive and narrated story filled with love, loss, guilt and redemption. Previously a cult mod, the game sends you on a journey of exploration and self-reflection as you explore a remote and uninhabited island in the outskirts of Hebrides where apparently a mysterious Esther has summoned you here.The best part about all of this though is that the game is, unlike most heavily story-driven games, very replayable. Every play-through will give you a new experience as the audio, visuals and even the events that happen are all randomly generated. So, if you enjoy story rich games, Dear Esther is a game that will unequivocally captivate you.
Myst
Myst is one of the world's most highly-acclaimed puzzle-adventure game that's set on an island where every object can provide you a clue to revealing an ancient mystery. Filled with challenging puzzles that will give your brain a good workout, the game has astounding graphics for a game from its time, offering players the sort of realism and immersion they have never felt before.A classic and a timeless game, Myst has inspired a generation of gamers and gaem developers and is still influencing the development of some modern games. However, the Steam version of this game tends to be a bit crash-happy, making the game a real pain to play. You might want to try other versions of the game, like the one from GOG, instead.
