It was two years ago that I’ve finally played Myst from start to finish for the first time. After decades of attempts to “get it”, the game clicked with me, most likely due to the direct controls that made playing it far more convenient than the classic screen by screen navigation. And while its The Chronicles of Amber inspired story didn’t grab me that much, the constant sense of discovery in that game as the main aspect of its puzzles certainly did. Hence why I was very excited to learn that Riven: The Sequel to Myst was getting a similar treatment as well, so I could finally understand how people in Rivne live with all of these puzzles around… Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
Anyway, the Riven remake is out and, from what I’ve checked in video form after completing it, quite different from how the game used to be originally. So, I suppose, I will never know if I like the original game, but I definitely enjoyed this one.
