What do you get when you combine brilliant graphics, intriguing puzzles, mysterious scenery, great acting, and watertight storyline? Riven: The Sequel to Myst.
I do not think I would be stretching a point in saying that this is the best game ever made. Truly. It is a good length, the puzzles are suitably hard, and the acting is superb (better than some movies I've seen). The sage Atrus made a great character, and the diabolical Gehn made a great villain.
The atmosphere in Riven was perfect as well. It's one of those things you can't quite put your finger on...spooky, shall we say? Sort of, spooky, beautiful, and ever-intriguing at the same time.
Cyan has conquered the gaming world. 10/10
