Considering that everything is prerendered, I understand that the graphics aren't that good. But man, you can't help but fell amazed by the way this game looks. The game has some problems. I have respect for anyone who can beat this game without a help guide the first time they play it. This game is not for gamers who like fast action and ahave a lot of energy.
The game's pace is very relaxed, not slow, just relaxed. You never have to worry about dying or time running out. I really wish I hadn't used the help guide because it kind of ruined the game a bit. I can't wait for Myst 3 or Myst Realtime. Just like its predecessor, Myst. The plot starts out really good.
You are supposed to go to Riven to save Catherine, Atrus' wife, and capture Gehn. Doesn't sound too difficult, right? The puzzles start out, one by one, innocently and politely asking you to solve them. As soon as you reach the other islands, something gets all screwed up and you find yourself approaching near impossible puzzle after puzzle. They get even tougher as you go on, which is pretty hard to imagine.
You are expected to figure out the D'Ni numbers when the only numbers you have is one to ten. It's impossible to figure it out since you've got to figure that if you turn the number five in D'Ni to the right and add a line here, then it's ten, and if you turn it to the right again and add a curved line here, then it's fifteen, and so on. Well, maybe not exactly like that, but it's pretty close.
You get the point. And that stupid machine toward the end! Put the marbles here Once again, Cyan has baffled countless people while giving them good graphics and a really good storyline.
The music intensifies the eerieness, as in the first game. Play this game only if you're extremely devoted to the Myst series and you have a lot of time on your hands. I started playing this game a couple years after it came out. I found it very difficult and couldn't get very far.
I was annoyed by the multiple discs, something that was later remedied with a DVD version. I eventually forgot about it. Then the economy went sour a couple years ago and I found myself not being able to afford new games or afford to go on vacation anymore. I decided to pull out my old games that I never played or defeated. Riven was one of those games and I'm glad I finally finished it. Riven is very difficult at first and will frustrate people with limited attention spans.
You are faced with constant puzzles and have to accept that you aren't going to figure them all out at first. Some of the first puzzles you encounter won't be solved until the end. The atmosphere of Riven is absolutely amazing, especially for ! It sucks you in and feels very foreign, but is awe inspiring.
Just like Myst, Riven is full of strange sounds and beautiful landscapes. The music and sound effects make you feel like you are really there. This is definitely a game to be played with a nice sound system. The music isn't as memorable as Myst, but still better than most games of that time.
This game is perfect for anyone who likes books, beautiful sceneries, complex mysteries, and the other Myst games. I hope you enjoy! As i made my way through this game i realised that there is no way on earth i could have gotten close to beating this game.
You have to be a complete genius to get anywhere. I know there are people out there that have finished this game without cheating. Anyway besides that the graphics are great the scenery is outstanding. You get the feeling of entering another world a fascinating world. All up its worth getting but unless your extremely smart get the walkthrough it doesn't ruin the experience.
This game is trippy to the tenth power. The creators of this game are absolute geniuses. The world of Riven totally sucked me in. First, there are the awesome graphics and sound. The world seemed so real. The various environments, with the odd sunner creatures and the puzzled villagers here and there, made me feel like I was on some true island fantasy world.
Each island had its own unique beauty to it. Riven was a place where I would build my vacation home on anyday. I also love the plot. The cold character of Gehn was so fascinating. How he tries to trick you and how he keeps his subjects under a tight grip. He's even hooked on frog extract! The one thing I hated was how the puzzles were nearly impossible. You'd have to be John Nash to beat the puzzles without using a cheatbook.
But that doesn't really matter. Riven has this environment I've never seen in any TV show or movie. But Riven is just so colorful, so crisp, it almost makes me mad that I'll never actually be able to visit it for real.
What do you get when you combine brilliant graphics, intriguing puzzles, mysterious scenery, great acting, and watertight storyline? Riven: The Sequel to Myst. I do not think I would be stretching a point in saying that this is the best game ever made.
It is a good length, the puzzles are suitably hard, and the acting is superb better than some movies I've seen. The sage Atrus made a great character, and the diabolical Gehn made a great villain. The atmosphere in Riven was perfect as well. It's one of those things you can't quite put your finger on Sort of, spooky, beautiful, and ever-intriguing at the same time. Cyan has conquered the gaming world. We got Riven free when we bought our computer, and it didn't come in a box or a case, but just by looking at the pictures on the discs, I couldn't wait to play this game.
When I first started, I didn't even have a clue of how to get off the first island. But I soon began to understand the game, and I discovered more and more codes and secrets. This, however, is a minor concern and the game is still a marvelous combination of visual and aural feats that work together to create the intriguing alien landscapes. For those who haven't already played Riven or can't remember it completely , a hint system is also in place to help highlight important features.
Just don't take this as a free-ride as you'll still need to use your own noggin' to solve the mysteries packed inside Riven. Hey, do you want to say something?
