Reminds me, gotta film for my Myst 4 series soon.
I played the game in 1996 on a Pentium 100 with 4x CDROM drive, so it was better for me than folks playing in 1993.
I also beat it without help and did not find the puzzles to be particularly difficult. I haven't beaten any further Myst games. I have Riven and Exile, but lost interest in Riven after a while.
I DID brute-force the maze.
I also had played some of the older Sierra games, as well as several LucasArts graphic adventures by this point. I agree that Myst was easier. It took me months to beat Maniac Mansion on NES. That's not a dig at Myst-- I appreciated that the puzzles were significantly less "random" than other adventure games of the time. I think there was only one "find the pixel" puzzle, and I never had to use two seemingly random things together to fashion a new tool I would never have imagined myself.
After the LucasArts games in particular, I found Myst to be really underwhelming. I much preferred their living, detailed, dynamic worlds to Myst's more beautiful but sterile world. Myst was also really short in comparison to what I was used to.

It looks great, but it's so blatantly "Sonic: Breath of the Wild".
