It’s crazy when I first saw someone else play through after taking that Gold Elevator down I was like “Where’s Gehn’s Survey room?” And then I saw they added it in that extra level for that first elevator to the replica’s of all the islands. That was a pretty slick change!😆🙌🏾🔥
The return to Riven is so much more impressive than I had anticipated. All of the new details and even the soundtrack additions are exceptional. I only wish that Cyan had kept the live characters, if only to transpose the original film footage over the new environment graphics. I miss the actors and actresses from the original releases. They are our extended D'NI family. And of course ... your walkthroughs are always so enjoyable. Such a melodic voice to compliment a sincere enthusiasm for all things MYST. Cheers!
So I am currently playing this for the first time - I loved Myst as a kid, but my parents didn't buy the sequels, so I never played the original Riven. I saw a playthrough of it MANY years ago, but couldn't figure out how to get a copy working, so that was that. Never thought they'd remake this one, honestly. I'm so thrilled to be able to play it in the modern era. I remember bits and pieces from that playthrough I watched, so I haven't gotten TOO stuck so far. I can see they changed some things, but I largely like the new changes and I think they're integrated quite well. If I'd never seen that original playthrough, I would have NO idea anything had been added years later. After I play through a section, I come here to watch someone else do it so I get a sense of another perspective. In the "arena" area on Survey/Map island, you missed the whark swimming past/underneath you! It occurs once when you reach the end of the walkway on the left (it swims past you, just under the water...it might actually breach slightly, I can't say for sure because it happens quicky) and once when you cross the wooden logs to get to the dome (it swims right underneath you!). Both are really pretty spooky, I yelled both times. You were paying attention to other things and missed them both; but if you go back to your footage and listen to the soundtrack when you cross the logs, I think you'll hear it. That "anger the whark" achievement might be the only one I don't go for, lol. I've played horror games that creep me out less than that thing.
I enjoy how you talk about what you come across in the game and you don't speed walk through everything and it seems you have a good understanding of Riven.
Such a beautiful remake. I especially love how they remade the area at the start of this video. prison Island with the big cut down tree where Catherine is, Ghens 233rd age looks so awesome too! 😮
Great ! I was hoping to see more this morning.You have ben a great help.I am playing on epic and it is stunning with a 55" lifes good oled tv with surround sound.

That’s orange 🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠
Once you find the Rebel viewer, you can press R to quickly bring it up and put it away.
This is not tutorialized in the game, is it? I just finished the game and knowing about that would have been extremely handy...
No it isn't. I stumbled on it by looking in the settings for the controls. Once you have the rebel viewer, the R key shows that action.
