A great companion piece to the movie, fantastic story, lots of interesting 'choices-that-matter', very evocative art design and music. Shame that the open world sometimes hampers gameplay - it can be unclear where to go and what to do next sometimes, and this is frustrating.
Not as strong as 'Myst'. The soundscape is cutting-edge, and allows for more sophisticated puzzles. The puzzle design is abstruse and the clues are disparate. Unlike the first game's five maps, 'Riven' is one big map, and so the gameplay is a bit less engaging as the scope of the puzzles is a bit overwhelming. The story isn't as involving or captivating as the first game either, and sometimes a bit confusing. Like fuck am I gonna read 30 pages of journals, not least with that shitty cursive handwriting.
Masterfully builds tension. Ending didn't really pay off.
