I think the idea of a beautiful, peaceful puzzle game with enchanting art was so new that people couldn't resist. it. Myst was truly beautiful, the story was intriguing, the puzzles were genuinely challenging in a mostly pre-internet time. There had been lots of puzzle games before but not really anything like Myst.
It's still a very difficult series. I don't think I could've finished Riven without help from a guide, but it's a fantastic game in terms of worldbuilding and tone.
Of course, it's a lot more playable now that you don't have to swap between five disks as well...
