| Topic | Epyo's Top 100 Games of All Time (with write-ups) |
| Epyo 08/01/22 8:16:27 PM #17: | Thanks lol! The hardest part about write-ups is not making them too long... It's so fun to write about good games! ----------- #95 Riven: The Sequel to Myst https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/4/4/AABIPnAADhFY.jpg I love the general concept of Myst--an immersive world of thematic logic puzzles, and an underlying "Myst"ery. Totally into it. However, the original game's environments and story, are a little corny for me--the environments in the game were designed by an in-game character, to teach his sons some lessons, or something like that. As a result, the environments feel...like they were designed by some dad, as a lesson. So, fake, and corny. Not exactly immersive. "Riven" improves upon this by having a way more interesting story and believable world to figure out. These are worlds with interesting alien cultures! The whole point is that you have to understand the cultures to solve the puzzles, as opposed to being arbitrary logic puzzles (like some other games in the genre). There are a couple of games very similar to Riven, all the way up in this list's top 20... BEST PUZZLE: Figuring out an alien race's number system, by messing around with a weird Hangman toy you find in a schoolroom. --- People who don't finish their sentences I'm a Castlevania superfan!
