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.

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.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
