  • Heck yes, I binged this game over a weekend where I didn’t see many other people and it put me in a weird headspace that was perfect for this game. I really enjoyed it, very unlike anything else I’ve played. If you’re just playing it to beat it, you might not enjoy it, is my guess. But if you’re in the mood to dig in a bit more it’s a lot of fun to learn about the characters through the different websites and messages.

    I’ve recommended this game to friends and coworkers and I don’t think any of them have gone for it. Ah well. This game will always hold a special little place in my heart.

    EDIT: If you weren’t alive back in the days of AOL and angelfire/geocities/Myspace websites, you might not enjoy this game as much. I think you might still enjoy it, but the nostalgia feeling for that bygone age was a big part of the appeal for me.




  • Looks gorgeous, like the original. I’m curious if it’ll be harder than the original, being in full 3D. With the ability to freely run around everywhere, it might be easier to miss something than if you only jumped between predetermined points. Maybe not, I can’t remember if everything important in Riven was visually distinctive, or if there are things hidden in the background that are easy to overlook.
