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!
Riven è Riven. Stupendo allora, magnifico adesso con il supporto del vr e un comparto grafico straordinario. Non a caso l'ho preso più per rilassarmi nei suoi stupendi paesaggi che per rifinire il gioco in se. Complesso iil giusto, le meccaniche vr sono pienamente implementate. Nessun problema degno di nota riscontrato. Un Must have per chi ha un buon visore vr
Tolles Spiel, das jedoch hängt siech das Spiel immer wieder mal auf. Aber ist aushaltbar.
Graphics are superb. The puzzles are multi-layered and challenging
nOPE.

Es un gran juego. Lo jugué en el 1998 y me fascinó. Al cabo de unos años lo compré para STEAMy volví a re jugarlo. Ahora con esta nueva versión y con gráficos super mejorados... y probándolo en VR, me he dado que es un juego de culto, y por fin...pude entrar en Riven como si fuera de verdad. No me lo hubiera creido en 1998.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ incredible game. The ending 2 puzzles took as much playtime out of me as the entire rest of the game but still. The enviromentdesign is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ peak. The sounddesign is peak. The gameplay integrates itself into the storytelling like ive never seen before. I am unable to turn around a single corner without going ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in this game. This will enter into my faves of all time without a doubt. 10/10
[Eu jogo apenas offline, tempo de jogo não reflete o real] Clássico espetacular, muito polido, gráficos excelentes e uma história envolvente por trás dos quebra cabeças, possibilita salvar manualmente sempre que se quiser, realmente sensacional 10/10.
This remake looks and feels as good today as your nostalgia has you remembering the 1997 original.
