Riven: The Sequel to Myst
Prepare to enter a world "torn asunder" by timeless, unresolved conflicts--a world of incomparable beauty, intrigue, and betrayal. Prepare to go to Riven. Journey through vast, awe-inspiring landscapes, where clouds sit nestled in a deep blue sky and the rolling sea waters shimmer from bright morning sunlight. But be forewarned: nothing is quite as it seems.

It's not only phenomenal gaming, but it's a work of art.

I really loved this game, even more than I enjoyed Myst, but I would advise adrenaline junkies to stay far, far away.

This game is so good that if I taught a class on interactive fiction I would use it as my example of how to create a great quality game. With the exception of the a few difficult puzzles and some pixel hunting I can not find any reason I would advise someone not to play Riven.

While it may not be hailed as a classic, genre-defining game, Riven was a very strong sequel, a difficult thing to do considering the widespread popularity of Myst. It's clear that the graphics in Riven are probably its greatest selling point, though the larger world and more difficult puzzles may also bring more P&C adventurers to love this game. Riven was originally released as five CD-ROMs in 1997, but if you look for it, there is a somewhat-regularly-available "Myst 10th Anniversary" box that has the first three games (Myst, Riven, Exile) all in one set.
