![]() I can't get enough of these *open* puzzles games that also have a narrative element. But I suppose the stuff Riven puts at the forefront is good enough. I think Atrus is an alright character, why isn't he in the game more? I also couldn't care less about the D'ni and their precious lost culture. ![]() It just doesn't get me there, I think it's decently interesting, but not exactly Shakespeare. But It's strange to me reading opinions of others online about how enraptured they are by it. I liked what little pieces we got in Myst, and I think Riven is a nice follow-up. Piecing together bits of information, bolstering your ability to traverse the world and understand it, is lovely. But more often than not the puzzles are fair and engaging. ![]() I would constantly have to ask myself "is walking around carefully expecting everything worth it once I find what I need and maintain the purity of my blind playthrough?" It is, but only to a point-a certain amount of time before I decide to look it up, only to realize I basically had it but just needed to do *x*. This happened to me about three times and were the only times I looked up hints. "puzzles" like that I needed a hint to figure out, and it wasn't satisfying to give up and look for help in frustration only to know I was inches away from what I needed to do to *uncover* more content I was missing. But there was no reasonable way of me knowing I should close doors behind to look for secret tunnels in the corner. I never struggled when I had information to piece together and things I *know* I didn't understand. The puzzles never got too hard for me, but it depends how you frame it. ![]() I liked this aspect in Myst and was happy to have even more to scribble down in Riven. In Riven it's almost impossible to solve the game without taking a good portion of notes. The puzzles in Riven generally make sense in context with the world. In some ways Riven was what I wanted out of The Witness, less abstracted mini-game puzzles, more exploring an island and discovering it's secrets. It's large and interconnected, with most of the puzzles being framed around it in a grounded way. Riven is unique in the way it's world is designed. Though there's a little more to the visuals and sound this time around, with more disk space used for full frame videos and better sampling in the effects.
