The ground-up remake of the 1997 sequel to Myst is also coming to VR.

    I first played Riven as a child, together with my mother on the family’s first-ever PC, which was a Pentium 133 MHz with 16 megabytes of RAM and no Internet.

    At one point we got totally stuck, and after days of fruitless wandering we were forced in desperation to call the premium-rate phone number that came on a leaflet in the box, just to get some hints on the solution.

    Different times.

    I played every Myst game since, and I’ll probably play this too.

      I’m with you, to this day the only puzzle that still is challenging is the marble puzzle.

        The one that stumped us wasn’t even that! It was in a forest area where there is a ‘dragon’ statue and his mouth opens up to reveal a staircase to the upper level. And you do that by clicking something nearby, but the clickable area was really hidden and we just never found it.

    HELL YES. I played this game as a child and loved it, it completely captured my imagination. I’ve tried to play it again recently but it’s hard to get it to work properly, and it looks pretty bad on modern screens.

    I’m super excited for this. Myst 3 next hopefully, that one is fantastic too!!
