The new Riven is an absolute triumph. The 1997 version holds a very special place in many people's hearts and Cyan somehow lived up to the impossible and arguably surprised the original with this new version. I highly recommend it to everyone as well! I played on PC and it was absolutely stunning.

I honestly cannot comprehend why your reviews are not garnering tens of thousands of views! Fantastically narrated, highly organized, useful information! At any rate, you've got one more drop in the bucket of a subscriber and I sincerely hope you stick with this, because good, well presented and informative reviews of VR games are difficult to come by. Thank you for what you do!

Riven VR is one of those rare titles where your jaw hurts after being dropped so wide and so often. It is a complete mystery to me why so many VR youtubers have been ignoring this VR marvel. Atrocious. It not just a great VR game, it's one of the best of the best, almost life-changing. I am talking about PCVR, of course.

I bought the Quest version first, because it's a bit more convenient to play wireless without having to boot up my pc first. But it looked horrible with a constant changing resolution, stutter and texture issues. Devs already stated it will be patched, but I refunded it and went for the PCVR version. I love Myst and Riven and this Riven remake itself it fantastic, but if you have the choice - go for the PCVR version.

Thank you for your fantastic review, Riven was also a very important game in my childhood (playing in family): It was very enjoyable to listen to your review, you convince me I have to go back to Riven in VR to re-discover the puzzle and incredible scenery of the game

I enjoyed Myst on Quest despite some rough edges. It’s a fascinating game. I had hoped Cyan would have moved away from some of the odd interfaces they used in Myst, like the dead looking plastic hands, but from this review it sounds like it’s a step up in technical quality from Myst. Myst on Quest was a dramatic leap in technical quality over Obduction on PSVR 1 so Cyan keeps moving in the right direction. Doc’s completely sold me on Riven with his very well written and presented review, but I’m going to wait until I finish Asgard’s Wrath 2 before I buy it. Cyan says a patch is on the way so hopefully by the time I get it some of the technical issues will be resolved.

Amazing review! I purchased the PCVR version but ran into issues and returned it. I plan to buy it again once I've upgraded my hardware and am hopefully able to overcome those issues. This remake brings back memories of old school CDROM games like MYST and The Journeyman Project but done in such a wonderful and beautiful new way. I didn't get to spend much time there, but I definitely intend to go back to Riven... even if I have to buy new hardware to do it. Thank you for this incredible review!

Is this an ON GOING play type game or is this a story line type of experience that comes to an end ?

It's a narrative experience, with a beginning and an end, but the pace you explore and work things out is non-linear.

This review was definitely raising my interest for the game. However to use interlaced video in 2024 especially for delivery through KZitem is baffling to me and isn’t at all flattering for the actual game. Did you guys accidentally tick a wrong box while exporting? Aside from that keep up the good work. Your reviews have informed several of my vr purchaseing decisions.

Exporting progressive, not interlaced. But we have very little control over how the Quest itself records the video. We’re recording widescreen at 30fps. If you know a better way to record from Quest, we’ll be happy to improve :)

@@6DOFReviews The PC Footage has the combing artifacts as well. My guess then is that there was something wonky with the project settings on your editing program.

Not necessarily, the PCVR footage is captured on Quest using Virtual Desktop, so I’d wager this is just how Quest natively captures video. In general, the Quest prioritizes in-game frame rates, and the capture gets a rough treatment.

I played it first on my flat wide screen of 2560x1080. Absolutely gorgeous. Then I played the PCVR version on my Quest 2. The reduction in every graphical aspect was quite disappointing. I guess it would've been okay if I hadn't already played it on my flat screen. Anyway, I played Riven in 1997 and it grew on me, becoming my favorite computer game. Riven 2024 has surpassed the original. Great great achievement Cyan!

brother you need to work out your capture or rendering settings, this video is interlaced to absolute hell. Looks like handicam footage from 2002.

it's awesome, better than Myst, sure. But I fear VR intuitive makes it far less challenging than back then as stationary screens and mouse navigation - puzzles become more intuitive when you can quickly glance around and see how things connect in an intuitive way. This is also true in other games about navigating spaces as if you're there. I'm already 1/3 in as far as achievements tell me, so for now I'm waiting for a bit extra polish in patches until trying to finish. Funny thing about water glitch in Prison Island is that the same is not true in boiler island, that one feels very natural water... tho only for the lake, shores seem to have issues...
