Review

Riven, a sequel to the renowned Myst, masterfully builds upon its predecessor’s strengths by offering an enthralling adventure filled with intricate puzzles and an evocative story. The game meticulously reconstructs and expands the original 1997 release, delivering a visually stunning and immersive experience. Players will find themselves deeply engaged in unraveling the mysteries of a crumbling civilization teetering on the edge. While the puzzles are challenging and satisfying, they can sometimes feel overwhelming, and some mechanics may feel dated. Despite these minor drawbacks, Riven offers a compelling and atmospheric journey that stands the test of time.
