My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We're in our early 40s.

It was actually really embarrassing for me. I thought "We can play curse of Monkey Island. Those point and click adventures would be great for her!"

Literally an hour later Im looking up a walkthrough on google...

The only problem with Myst is once you know how to win, it’s trivial to win.

I buy it every time they re-release. They did a release a few years ago for VR in Unreal Engine 4 and are working on the same for Riven. I haven’t played it yet but it is supposed to have puzzle randomization so maybe it won’t be so easy now.
