It was a story you had to figure out. To this day, I would much rather work out a game of puzzles than shoot up a bunch of aliens or demons or hookers or whatever.Brent Wescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313269993916969201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955403937403470702.post-4340725830115887052012-05-22T19:02:42.959-05:002012-05-22T19:02:42.959-05:00I agree, the graphics are wonderful for its time. ...I agree, the graphics are wonderful for its time.

After I finished it (after numerous cheat books) I just wandered through the game enjoying the music and scenery. Beautiful.<br />PS.

True, the graphics probably won't look as amazing today as they did back in the day, but if you think the settings in Myst are lovely (which they are!), those in Riven are absolutely beautiful.Meytal Radzinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805413335735169073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955403937403470702.post-72392182463892363832012-05-19T16:44:45.120-05:002012-05-19T16:44:45.120-05:00I'm one of the few that didn't get into My...I'm one of the few that didn't get into Myst, but that's because I was so into RPG games at the time.Alex J.
