PC gamers who are fans of exploration and puzzle games likely remember the iconic title Myst, originally released in 1993 by developer Cyan. The mysterious puzzler had gamers exploring an island and solving puzzles with atmospheric graphics that were cutting edge at the time. Those looking for a healthy dose of nostalgia or gamers that never got to experience Myst at release can now experience the puzzler on Android devices. Myst is available today on Google Play and the Amazon App store, and sequel Riven will be coming soon.

The game is called realMyst on the app store, distinguishing the title from knock off or illegitimate ports. The Android port contains all of the Ages from the original release as well as the Rime content released as an expansion.

Those worried about controlling the game on an Android device will be happy to hear of Bluetooth controller support as well as compatibility with NVIDIA Shield for large-screen play. The game has intuitive touch screen controls, however, so players hoping for an experience without peripherals will still be able to enjoy realMyst. Myst was notorious for its lack of direction and emphasis on trial and error, but this port includes quality of life features that many missed in the original release. The game features built-in guides, a save and restore feature, and a collection of hints if you happen to get stuck.

Myst remains one of the best exploration and puzzle games more than 20 years after its original release, though it hasn’t been a convenient game to play with modern equipment. This port to Android will breathe new life into the series and allow veterans and newbies alike to experience a game that served as a pioneer for the genre. RealMyst is available for $6.99 on the Google Play Store.

There hasn’t been much buzz surrounding Suicide Squad since its release in February. Warner Bros. was let down by the game’s underwhelming sales, but they remained committed to turning their live service vision into a reality. An exciting new DLC update has been released, introducing The Crown Prince of Crime to the game.

As the game’s first live season begins, players will have the chance to take on Green Lantern and, in the end, unlock The Joker as a playable character. Which Joker are you referring to? This is quite intricate. Furthermore, players can look forward to the inclusion of a Battle Pass, a variety of new shop items available for purchase, exciting Incursions and Strongholds to partake in, as well as an expanded selection of Infamy Sets and Notorious Gear to amass.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.
