ArtéanRemove Riven's story and the game doesn't really stand on its own anymore. Because the frontier between puzzles and story is much more vague. This makes it much easier ans interesting to progress in the game if you figure out WHY the obstacles exist and WHO put them here.
From my perspective as an - almost exclusively - narrative-driven player, it's a formidable strength.
I have once again an obsession with RIVEN since I played the remake. Every time I try to articulate what I love so much about it, I find a different answer. The last one I had was: "This is the only game that really makes me forget I'm playing a game."

I rarely impulse buy games on sight but did you know that @cyanworlds has released a 3D remake of #Riven featuring free movement and all?
It's a faithful recreation of the original so I couldn’t help myself 
(especially since it runs natively on macOS and even offers fancy things like #metalfx upscaling)

Just finished the #Riven Remake. I have to say, apart from weird lighting and animations on some characters (that can hopefully be fixed in later updates), they absolutely nailed it. It's beautiful, the adaptations made for 3D and VR are very consistent, and there are a lot of new surprises and narrative details!
Norobiik @A remake of #Riven: The Sequel to Myst launched this week, made by the original game's developers. It strikes a fascinating balance between re-creation and reinvention, and based on a couple of hours of playing it, it's a resounding success. #Games #Retrogaming
The new #RivenRemake is even better than #Myst

Spent 15 minutes in Riven doing absolutely nothing except looking at a pile of wooden baskets tied to floating spheres, trying to figure out if they are some kind of fishing nets and how the native villagers use them.
They're just there. In the water. They have absolutely no relation to any puzzle whatsoever.
*This* is why I think it's one of the greatest game of all time.

Tried out #rivenremake on a non gaming PC to my surprise it actually runs on a 16gb Surface Pro 8 with Intel iris XE iGPU at playable frame rates 🤯 #Gaming
Marta ThreadbareEstaba probando la demo del remake de #Riven y ugh, como se nota mi falta de vram, las texturas de mierda xD pero aparte... han blanqueado a Cho? Que igual es cosa de las texturas en baja calidad y el reflejo de la luz del sol en el suelo pero le veo bastante más claro.

And they've just released that specific video! It's captivating to see 2 Cyan employees (that haven't been involved in the project from the beginning) discuss the remake, their contributions, the interesting decisions that have been made, etc.
