I was riveted by both Myst and Riven when I was a teenager. My quest for games like them continues…

i still have the original cant wait for this

Played these when they first came out and loved them. I always thought how wonderful it would be to see it in smooth 3d where you could look anywhere and not just pre-rendered camera angles.

Huh... I did not expect this. Haven't visited that setting in decades.

Just finished this for the first time ever. Never played the original. Went in mostly blind but did come into it knowing a few things like the world is a puzzle and things arent always immediately solvable. Wow what an experience. I have 5 pages of notes and loved how you learn multiple different systems all culminating at the end. I now want more games like this!

Impressive graphics. Very impressive. Such a thing could not be imagined in the 1990's. It looks like a movie, not a cartoon.

These games brings back memories. 😘😘

Wow that takes you back in time!! I always loved these games!! Tickles me they are remaking Riven!!

Mega hype for Riven!!! ❤❤❤ I'm so excited and will be locked in for your live with this one. Notebook and pen are ready 😎

I played this game with my siblings it was so much fun! Looking forward to the re-release of it :) I wonder if they kept all the hidden cut sceens

god it's identical! I still remember the audio puzzle on that island ouch! This game was sooo overly abstruse... I'll look for it on psn I suppose no physical unfortunately... I really wish one day someone will remake Zork Nemesis.

MYST 3: exile had me so fascinated. Beautiful graphics and awesome sound files. Riven looks like it won't disappoint.

it is also available in VR !!! Wow !!!!

Raptor is definitely locked in, he didn't even make an "old Denny's proverb" joke

I still have Uru on my pc.....loved it

I've played Myst on Sega-Saturn. Time flies.... I'm still missing that game...😢

OMG... It looks exactly like what I imagined. My teenage self spent hours and hours on those puzzles. 😅

I check on this every now and then its been a while though. I had no idea a new one was released. WOW!. Best game ever and I've played them all. This popped up in my feed and I noticed it instantly, not sure why but HOTDOG. Can not wait to play it. Thank you for making this video to whomever and making my day!!!!

Mad flashbacks - thanks for this.

the memories are coming back

i was so happy when i saw Myst was on the switch!! bought that as soon as i saw it!

It’s hilarious some peoples commentary over the part where that cho guy steals the book from you 🤣

Everything seems .... smaller in 3d compared to the old 1997 version. The islands feel closer to each other.

if you have read the Myst books you should all know what that crack is in the ground at the start of the game

I play all the Myst games- even Uru, it's still fun, lol! So glad to see the Myst remake and now Riven! The first 2 are my favorites, Riven is my #1, so I bought this as soon as I heard about it! I don't dare to hope they will remake the others but that would be great if they did, or at least Myst 3- Exile!

Purchased, know what I'm doing tonight. Might just have to call in sick because I will be up all night HOTDOG. Somedays are just so much better then others.

Great video :)

A really good game series.

Myst had a playable demo on the PC my dad bought, but I purchased Riven and never finished it because that shit is so hard. 😅 Along with journeyman project, the legacy of time ... These were immersive and intelligent games

Look at those symbols see if those symbols unlock that thing that needs to be unlocked

It looks sooo good.

16:20 That's a variation of a entertainment device from the late 1800s which's name I forgot. The rotating disc hides the view like a camera shutter just so that your vision is "tricked" into thinking the "eye" symbols on the rotating sphere are a making a moving picture -> the eye closes and opens in perpetuation. No idea what it will mean regarding the game though :D

I'm convinced that Raptor and OperatorDrewski are the same person.

Btw a spoiler: the “water” is not actually water as we know it.

and its now officially out.

i have tried various puzzle games But most of the time i didnt even know what does the game wants from me

I have all the myst games that i bought when they were relaesed. Myst, Riven, Myst Exile, Myst Revelation, Myst End of Ages, Uru, Uru Path of the Shell, then later i bought RealMyst in 3D. Now i will be very pleased to get that new Riven. I have also played Obduction and Firmament more recently. I remember that Riven gave me headaches, god some puzzles were really hard when nobody had played it and had a clue. Now it's different, there are guides, videos and tips on the net. I remember that when i had solved the game, i replayed it, capturing a video of the whole playthrough, i still have the full movies that i made of all those games. That was before KZread was a thing.

If you didn't beat it back then, well, anything you picked up back then will be meaningless since they've changed the puzzels.

great remake except the human cgi or whatever animations - loved the original human characters

In the opening sequence, there's a portion that in part state in the "AGE'S". Few people realize exactly what is ment by "THE AGE'S". The planet we live on is referred to as Earth today. And the planet is envolved in what laymen refer to as a wobble or in scientific term's Precession. Which in a nut shell, mean's if the Norhtern geographical pole is that of basically facing away from the sun as it orbit's it changes from being away, to being half way, to closer and then again to half way and eventually totall away again and again...The cyycle of precession is some 26,000 plus or minus a few year's in duration. That work's out to be using the Earth circumference, one degree every 72 year's. Which when doing some research, would put the star known as VEGA being the Norht Stat at one point in the process, and now Polaris, which though still extremely close to being true North of the geographical Norht Pole, but know longer exactly true North. One degree every 72 year's doesn't seem like very much and goes pretty much unknoticable. But in the long run mean's that if one in a location today is enjoying a warm/hot summer day. Some 12,500 year's ago or some 12,500 year's from today, that someone, in the same exact location would be enjoying a cool/cold winter day. Which though only one degree, doing the math mean's the climate in relationship to an area today, isn't to one degree the same as it was 72 degree's when one does the math and figure's, how far in mile's one degree of our circumference actually is. Doing the math, one degree work's out to be some 69 slightly plus mile's. The wind blown on a mountain one degree every 72 year's differently. Lead's to the wind on the alee side being slightly different. OF all the biological life form's on Earth, though we now number some 8 billion today. We are far from being the largest number's of biological life form's. In which the climate effect's. The supposedly reported as lessor form's of biological life, simply adapt to the ever so slowly changing in the climate due to precession. No other biological life form is concerned about time line's or duration's some longer, some shorter in the changes to the clmate as we human's are. It is stated and mandated to believe that only human's have a purpose, it's also we that have any care about time line'ss and or duration's of the various cycle's, Mother Nature provide's all biological life form's. Though it is the search for Purpose that has caused us to go from what we once were, to what we are now. With all of man's history to compare, if there is an actual purpose to our being, I'd spell it "G R E E D". Nothing else has led us from what we once were to what we've become than the advent of civilization's and there complete dependence on their economies, which can and has eihter made or braked a civilization. There's "NOTHING" more important to a countries success or failure then its economy. And haveing a good one verse a bad one basically depend's entirely on their being profit's. Having more than one need's and obtainabliltity of what one want's whch are two insanely different obsession's. Makes having more insufficent when one want's vs need's more. That's the ensense of GREED!

Like licky lip lop lits

Are they going to add a option were you can disable the cgi on the characters, I personally don’t like it.

I heard that they lost the source code for the original FMV acting, or it would not work for VR? But, it would be great if there was an original cutscene mode that would somehow work. Perhaps that can be added.

I’m still waiting for cyan to give me a refund for the broken mess they released in the Masterpiece collection on steam a few years ago. It’s actually unplayable, I refuse to support them until they make it right!!!

Myst has not aged well even with a new coat of paint. The puzzles having no connection to the story feels like an exercise in buttun pushing hoping something good happens. Lets see how riven holds up

Boosting it would just make it worse.

I dislike the original FMVs being replaced by these 3D models. Looks really stiff and unrealistic. The lighting is off. Way too bright. Having a "full 3D world" to walk anywhere destroys the original game's movie like cinematographic direction, you were SET to certain frames. Highly atmospheric. World felt bigger and more threatening. This has been replaced by a go anywhere "blogger with a handycam" kind of feeling in a game designed to be the opposite of that.
