Puzzle-mogs every other game. Played through it on PS5 with two siblings over a vacation and it was just the best. A perfect couch co-op game. The story is great, the world is great, the puzzles are great. The puzzles are really, really great. They don't feel arbitrary, senseless or unfair, but their solutions also are not always immediately obvious. You need to draw connections frequently. Sometimes you need to take some notes or snap a photo to reference later on. The lore unravels wonderfully, with a few major drops where you'll just be thirstily reading, soaking it up as you integrate it with the history and speculations you have thus far. The lore is itself a puzzle you build up. Then that connects, in turn, with the worlds you traverse. You build up a map of the world and an understanding of some key systems, as well as how and why they exist. A perfect game, on par with Outer Wilds in elegant, reasonable complexity and with an altogether chiller vibe. Bought it for PC literally just to support the developers. I crave games like this.1 found this helpful
Someone got me the original Riven for PS1 when I was a kid and I loved playing it but never got very far because I was only about 7 years old. Being able to come back and conquer it in the updated version was a great experience! Highly recommend and will go down as one of my all time favorites.1 found this helpful
Pretty good game, even if it was incredibly difficult and confusing sometimes1 found this helpful
Good storyline1 found this helpful
Riven is the sequel to Myst. Myst is a good game. Riven is a better game.
Really great remake, improves alot of the original. I was at first sceptical because the myst 2021 remake lost all its magic due to the missing art direction of the original, but this one here nailed it!
