Ratings and Reviews
Just keeps crashing!
Well, after 4 days gameplay the game froze and no amount of iPhone resets would fix it - game just reopened at same place and would not allow any movement, although sound was still there. Very reluctantly I reinstalled and started again. 4 days later the same thing happened in the same place in the game. I really can’t be bothered to restart year again, having for close to the end both times. Very frustrating and annoying. I feel like I’ve been cheated as I have wasted 8 days and seem unlikely to be able to ever finish this game.
Also, I have to say that the navigation is very difficult on a small screen, and some things are VERY difficult to see/find. Had to resort to hints just to find some levers and switches because they were in dark places. Finally, this is a very complex game and without hints I really think it would be unplayable. However, If it hadn’t crashed then it would have got 4 stars.
OG Riven - best in the series
Don't be put off by the turnips who expressed their disappointment that this "wasn't like realmyst at all!"
This is the original version, with its groundbreaking approach to game design gameplay and graphics.
Aggravating navigation
I loved Myst as a kid, and thoroughly enjoyed realMyst as an adult. However, the navigation in this iteration of Riven is extremely frustrating. Clicking between stills makes it extremely difficult to have any real sense of orientation or direction, and it's often hard to tell if you can interact with an object and you're just clicking in slightly the wrong place, or if you can't interact with it at all. I'm sure this is a fantastic game, but I'm finding the navigation within this open world near-impossible.
