8 of 15I explored Myst many moons ago and wanted to try Riven on my iPad. Got five minutes into wandering around this super cool world and made the bad decision to open the journal. After reading all of the entries, I could not “close” the journal and return to Riven. I tried tapping, touching, swiping, pinching but the journal won’t close. The help section offers no help. Maybe I’m stuck in the Prison Book but I thought that was stolen when I arrived.
How does this App have ANY good reviews? Absolutely terrible antiquated movement between scenes and the graphics are the lowest resolution I’ve ever seen on an app in 2020. Money down the toilet. I can’t imagine playing this game even for 5 minutes. The developers should be embarrassed that they put their name on this junk.
At least when I played on the pc, I could look around. This is no more than screen shots. Not a shred of 3d. I should have bought realMYST. I own both games from my PC days but cannot play them anymore. What a disappointment. Not worth it.
Riven is one of my favorite games of all time, but this version is just disappointing. I have encountered a lot of video segments that either have out of sync audio, a lot of missing frames which makes everything stutter, or really low resolution. While the game is playable, the bad animation/video quality ruins the immersive experience.
The original Riven in all of its glory. Just as good as I remember
The screen is very pixilated, unlike real myst. So pixilated, the darker scenes are a bit hard to see. It’s hard to appreciate all the wonderful scenes. Wish they’d given it the real myst treatment. It would’ve made the game a whole lot cooler.
I love playing this games. I’m so glad to play riven again. Lot easier to play on iPad then on the pc. Huge fan.
This is no realMyst equivalent. Instead of the smooth visual exploring experience, where you can see pretty much all vantage points fluidly, this has just N, S, E, W (and maybe up?) views that you toggle to using arrows. Also, when I found a letter and clicked on it, the image was pixelated! Agh!! Very disappointing. Waiting for realRiven to come out (hopefully!). Please don’t waste your money on this.
