As an owner of every game you mentioned, and completionist of most of them, I couldn't disagree with you more.

Myst defined its own category and I'm still looking for an open other-world of curiously interwoven discovery to carry its mantle.

"The Room" on iOS is a puzzle game with a very similar feel, albeit on a much smaller scale. (with no outdoor scenes - you're just figuring out a complicated multi-part artifact inside a room, complete with an ominous backstory that gradually gets pieced together).

I haven't played it, but i have read the review and Proteus is a new open world game. http://www.destructoid.com/review-proteus-244224.phtml

It's a lovely game, but it's not the same kind of thing. There isn't really a plot and there are no puzzles.
