Riven: The Sequel to Myst

Warning: to play riven nowadays, you must use ScummVM: http://scummvm.org/downloads/. Thanks to him, I crossed the game under Windows 10 without crash or backup problem (but in English... There is a patch en that works with the version of GoG on the other hand, not managed to make it work with the version of steam). All this aside, riven is always an incredibly immersive, fascinating, complex game. Immersive thanks to the complete abandonment of the player, left alone to explore this strange world, and to the coherence of his universe: the characters played by actors are rather well integrated and the mechanisms manipulated have a practical function, rarely placed artificially to make us solve a riddle. Fascinating through the strangeness of his universe (steampunk-Aboriginal-mesozoïquien?) and its richness (the NI, the writing, the numbering), of this pre-calculated 3D, of these natural sound effects and of these gliding music. Complex because the game is hard, filled with useless or crucial elements to advance, paths separating and hidden areas. The scenario is also complex, offering different viewpoints on current events and a little grey characters. As soon as you want a game with an original and intriguing universe and support an important difficulty capable of picking up many players, riven is a must.
