Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: "No doubt Atrus has told you otherwise... I HAVE, changed..."

Wed, 10 Jul 2002 21:32:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thepremier - Riven is a game of puzzle, beauty, intrigue and patience. It is not for everyone. The secret to victory is not a quick trigger finger. The enemy does not jump across the screen. The solutions are evasive. The secret to victory is patience and...

Mon, 18 Jun 2001 16:07:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mcsstokes - Ok, I used the title to garner a little interest for my review, maybe it worked and maybe it didn't. I've read a lot of reviews about this game, both good and bad. I think that I may have discovered a correlation between negative reviews and modern...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: More is not always better- but sometimes it is!

Thu, 12 Apr 2001 10:21:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author leftfooter - This review is based upon playing Riven very recently, and is written for the benefit of someone considering purchase now (2001) as opposed to when it was first released. By this time, you will probably be picking it up as a bargain title (maybe bundled...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: Riven a pain to solve, yet excellent graphics

Fri, 9 Mar 2001 20:58:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author echoluna - Riven is much more immersive than Myst. The graphics are better, and prepare to transport yourself to an alien world where imagination and intrigue abound. I give the graphics and A+.

Okay enough of that, let's talk about the puzzles. If...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DragonWarrior - Purchasing this game for my cousin for about ten dollars, I was not expecting much,but to our surprise, we got an entire world of mystery, unique puzzles, and beautiful scenery.

Being a newcomer to the Myst series and having no previous...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: ALL games are now compared to riven in my house

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ilikepie - When I started playing Riven I was speechless. It is FANTASTIC. It looks amazing, sounds amazing, is challenging and beautiful. I just can't say enough about this game. The only thing I don't like is that now all games look kind of clunky and...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: Riven

Sun, 31 Dec 2000 13:05:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Beefbob - I purchased this game because I had enjoyed its predecessor, Myst. I wasn't sure it would be very entertaining, but I tried it anyway. I was rewarded ten-fold! This game was very challenging, and I almost gave up. I couldn't understand the animals,...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: Myst was great but Riven's even better

Sun, 24 Dec 2000 08:59:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afletch - I originally played Myst many moons ago at a friends house. When he told me about the game I was pretty dubious about whether I would like it but thought I might as well humour my rather obsessed mate. Given about 10 minutes though and I was completely...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: Worth even five bucks?

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 20:29:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author t13monkeys - I bought this game at staples for $5. It was $15 in the bargain bin with a $10 rebate and to add to that a strategy guide was included with the game.

So I says to myself, sounds like a good bargain. I did like the original Myst after all...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author harleyfryguy - "Perhaps you remember your last conversation with Atrus - as you sat in that ancient room, constantly writing into the volume that sat before him. He spoke to you, even pleased with you, reguarding his sons, but still, his mind seemed occupied by...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: Want a headache???

Tue, 2 May 2000 18:31:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BigCircles - Riven is a fun game...at first. At the beginning of this game I knew what to do and how to do it. But when you don't know what to do it gets boring. Eventually, you find yourself wondering around the islands looking for something to figure out...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jander26 - I was suprised one night by my best friend when she took this box off the shelf that she had seen me eyeing. I had played "Myst" a long time ago but had not played "Riven". This one was in the "Ages of Myst" Gift pack at a...

Sun, 5 Mar 2000 16:29:10 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ADMOSS2 - I enjoyed Myst tremendously and looked forward to Riven.. However I was disappointed and frustrated. Even with the all the cheat books in the world, that takes the fun out, many of these puzzles end up disappointing and simple. Only a cheat book can...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: Best by far!!

Tue, 29 Feb 2000 22:43:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cmebike4 - This is one of the most captivating games I have ever played aside from Myst of course. The graphics, animations, videos, puzzles, and sounds!! It is very hard to get up from very puzzling. If you buy this game I can guarantee that will get your moneys...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: Beautiful graphics, but altogether to difficult

Tue, 29 Feb 2000 01:00:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Nayanya - I'm not really going to trash this game in my review, because I didn't actually HATE it, just disliked the fact that I played it for six or seven hours and got virtually nowhere. The graphics are gorgeous yes, the detail is unbeleivably perfect, but the...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: A stylish, immersive alien world

Sun, 20 Feb 2000 03:29:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author whita - My wife and I played Myst a long time, and we broke down and got two hints from the AOL Myst boards. We were sorry we did it. We vowed not to do the same with Riven. Hours, and hours, and hours it took. We sat up nights. Whole evenings of play would pass...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: A perfectionist's paradise

Tue, 15 Feb 2000 22:14:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dmarusz - After the success of Myst, Cyan and Red Orb would be crazy not to make a sequel. So they did. Of course, if you played Myst, it was pretty much obvious that they were setting up a sequel anyway. They took Myst, included much the same plot and...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: A Triumph over Myst

Fri, 11 Feb 2000 18:41:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Staarbabee - I just finished playing Riven again, about a year and a half after I last played (after time the details of the game faded in my memory which happily allowed me another shot). Riven is a drop dead gorgeous game. It surpassed any and all expectations I...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: Riven is Riveting

Mon, 7 Feb 2000 03:25:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mcg1 - Having adored the game of Myst, I asked for its sequel Riven (as a Christmas present) as soon as it came out. I found Riven to be equally addictive, although somewhat easier to solve, perhaps because I had already gone through the world of Myst.

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: If you liked MYST, Riven is for you!

Sun, 6 Feb 2000 16:02:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author metroeagl - Once I finished Myst back in probably 1995 I waited anxiously for the sequel. It finally came out in I think 1997 or 1998. "Riven: The Sequel to Myst" is just as good as Myst, if not, maybe better. The world of Riven is more beautiful then...

Sun, 6 Feb 2000 15:32:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KingOfThieves - I have played the game of Myst since it came out, and I have to say, I did not think it could be topped. It was. The creators of Myst have made a game called Riven. I have never been more drawn into a game in my life. There is a secret to every inch of...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: Stick with Myst

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 01:29:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Vitaman2001 - I was so very excited when I popped the first disk of the 5 disk set into my CD-ROM drive and heard the familiar myst-like music. If only the game lived up to my expectations!

Though visually far superior to its successor, Riven is just TOO hard!...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: No guns here!!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sllesq - After I played Myst on my PC, I couldn't wait to get Riven!! All the games I had played up to that point had been shoot 'em up games I inherited from an ex-boyfriend of my sister's, and they really didn't interest me. But Riven is a game where you have...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author antsim - I purchased Riven because unlike the general population, I prefer games with a plot and I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of the puzzles. My title for this review expresses my level of pleasure and displeasure with this game.
