Reader Reviews
These games are not for the weak of mind. You simply must have a strong mind and be able to think outside the box if you want to handle these games with no help. I enjoy playing these types of games with my little brother at my side, and it took us a week to beat Riven, and even then, he ended up buying the cheat guide. Myst we solved on our own, but the time committment was substantial. These games are great to do in little parts. Part here part there. Play it at the office or at home. Here are some details about each world(game). In Myst you begin to become a part of the game. You intuitively know that you need to look here or there. This game has HUGE levels. There is no correct order in which to do things, so, each game is different from the last one. This one has clues that are hidden, but solveable. In comparison, Riven is enthralling. With graphics that don't just make you think your going to another world, it makes you think you're there. You can tell the people at Cyan really put time into this game. In addition, having the journal to catalogue your adventures really helps. With Riven, the clues necesary to beat the game are much more heavily hidden. Things you think somehow match up together don't. And the things you think couldn't possibly work together, do. The plot is incredible. This game is not a game, it is another universe. It can not be played, it must be experienced. Young and old can play it, though the young might get tantrums from frustration, and the old, tantrums from frustration. Not frustration because it is a poorly constructed game, but because it is a hard puzzle, one you must take the challenge to solve. This game becomes a part of you. THIS GAME IS A MUST_HAVE!
