Why did the first person puzzler genre die?

>>717248204 (OP)
Too "unexciting" by itself. You can add puzzle elements in to your 2D or 3D action game and have both worlds.

>Puzzles in non puzzle games
lol always brainlet tier shit

you know why. people born after y2k are too dumb for them

>>717248204 (OP)
>play myst again for the first time in at least 20 years
>immediately remember all the solutions

Theres some pretty great VR ones

>>717248204 (OP)
they keep on insisting on putting music puzzles in games and putting information you need for one puzzle on the other side of the map and making you spend a long time walking or going through loading screens.

It didn't.

>>717248204 (OP)
It got revived again by Portal.
Peaked with Talos Principle.

Then it was butchered by the modern Pajeet x Facebook crowds.

not a first person puzzler, take your shitty roguelike deckbuilder and fuck off

>>717248204 (OP)
wait a minute, that card

Genuinely good puzzles are hard to design, and modern devs are stupider than ever

Dimhaven looks very cozy, and the demo was fun

>>717248204 (OP)
Beacuse it was pure dogshit that no one cared about

>>717248204 (OP)
on a side not is myst 3 worth playing?

>>717249641
Is Quern any good?

I miss the age of kino japanese flash escape room games. Pretty sure the devs are all just straight up dead now

>>717248753
There are many others. Puzzle game fans have fared well lately.

>>717249772
Yep.

>>717249907
It's okay, starts out very strong but at like the halfway point it becomes very tedious. Puzzles just take needlessly long to do, not because they're difficult but because the way they are designed. So testing out solutions and figuring things out just becomes a drag

>>717249772
myst 3 is pretty good, at times it's much better than 1 and pretty kino
myst 4 is straight up dogshit

>>717248204 (OP)
Fireproof just put out Ghost Town, and they have 5 Room games. Blue Brain has the House of Da Vinci and House of Tesla games. They're still around.

>>717248204 (OP)
No Sleep for Kaname Date came out last week

>>717250889
The room and Da Vinci games arent really the same as Mystlikes, they focus more on the intricate little mechanism puzzles.

>>717248638
has anyone made a game that's entirely music puzzles? sounds incredible

There should be way more horror puzzle games

>>717251732
Most of the games like this are horror or horror-adjacent.

>>717250889
>VR-only

>>717248652
God I fucking loved the Road to Gehenna maps

>>717252130
It's the best VR game I played. Plus you play as a goth witch chick, so you get to look at her womanly hands and painted nails that are literally you.

>mog the everliving fuck out of professional game devs
how the fuck did they do it

>>717252338
I don't use products shilled on 4chan.

>>717248580
The remake has a randomizer, not that it really matters.

>>717248204 (OP)
It killed itself with nonsensical puzzles.

>>717248204 (OP)
It didn't it's just niche and very few games get released.
It's also hard to make good puzzle games hence shit like Myst having bullshit puzzles int he first place that even point and click games like Kings Quest struggle with just not being nonsense.

>>717248204 (OP)
It never existed, always was a niche genre. You talk about Myst or whatever but when you look at sales it's shit. Talos Principle might be the biggest modern puzzle game and it's still niche with a peak of 7000 players

>>717248204 (OP)
Is there a reason /v/troons just declare everything dead instead of playing any of the million options coming out every year?

>>717256681
Myst was the best selling PC game ever until being dethroned by the Sims by the mid 2000s. It wasn't niche by any means.

>>717249772
Myst 3 was pretty good actually, Myst 4 had some interesting puzzles but it's not as good.
The only true Myst 3 is in fact URU. Ubisoft just wanted their piece.

>>717248204 (OP)
because you niggers just dont get it. you have to go back to a time when the ability to explore a detailed digital environment was a novelty in and of itself. there are millions of niggers right now who played Myst in the 90s but never solved a single puzzle but were still blown away by the still-frame images

>>717248580
I struggled with it back in the day and I've only become more retarded with time.

>>717248204 (OP)
Outer Wilds is fairly recent and is one of the greatest games ever made.

How come no other game in existence has ever been able to successfully replicate the sense of eerie, mysterious setting that Myst pulled off?

Bring me a red page.
