I would tend to agree. Riven is a lot better designed. In fact, I would go so far as to just jump into that one.
There’s quite a few remakes of Myst, as well, and I think some of the shave off the edges.
Comment on Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again?
MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 3 days agoBased on this criteria, everything about the sequel, Riven, seems like it passes with flying colors, as everyone says the puzzles tell the story and feel like real devices in the world, rather than a world constructed to be a puzzle itself.
I’m really looking forward to playing it with my grownup brain haha.

I just got it on GoG on sale. Can’t wait to try and tackle it after like…20 years or more? Surely, my brain should be able to grasp some of its logic now! :D
My mom will be so proud. I grew up playing it with her and we had to resort to walkthroughs a lot. XD

Riven is a significantly better game. It places you in a cohesive, well thought out world where everything feels like it has a structure and a logic to it, it makes exploring that world hugely rewarding, and it weaves the puzzles into the diagetic logic of the world in a way that feels seamless.
