After playing Myst I wasn't really looking
forward to this sequel but I'm happy to say that I was pleasantly
surprised. Unlike Myst, Riven uses True Motion video giving the game a
much cleaner look than what Myst had. The CG renders are also of a much
higher quality. This is probably expected though since the game is a lot
newer. The whole game just oozes atmosphere but it must be said that
Riven is not a style of game suited to everyone. You see, it's mostly
just going from one CG area to another with the odd bits of video thrown
in. Puzzles can also be a bit on the tedious side which may put people
off. Still, if you're looking for something to just sit down with and
relax then this is the game for you.
