After a sketchy introduction by the bearded Atrus, you’re dropped into a lavishly detailed, mythical world, free to roam and explore. Riven, like its predecessor, is unlike any other game. If you never played Myst, even if you’ve never played another computer game, you’re in for a real treat. And this time, when you make mistakes, you can die. There’s lots more animation than in Myst, allowing you to finally interact with Atrus and his odd relatives. This time, your mission is laid out at the start: You must trap Atrus’ father, Gehn, in a linking book and save Catherine before you can leave Riven. But this time the sights are much more spectacular and realistic, the sounds more subtle and sublime, and the puzzles more diabolically difficult. Riven, the Fifth Age, rises out of the same haunting music and similar immersing sounds and sights as Myst. Riven is an evolutionary, not revolutionary, step beyond Myst. It has been a four-year wait for Myst’s sequel (cleverly subtitled “The Sequel to Myst”), and, if you liked Myst, you’ll hardly need our recommendation, but here it is: Buy Riven. If this opening scene from Riven gives you a chill of anticipation, surely you’ve played Myst, the CD-ROM adventure that became the best-selling computer game of all time. He stops and looks up, squinting to see in the dark room. The bearish, bearded man scratches his pen across the page of the thick book. Riven delivers everything Myst had to offer and so much more as well.

Along the way you'll solve complex puzzles that span the entire world, each crafted and created with stunning visual effects. This time, journey to a new Age of Riven and help Atrus search for his missing wife Catherine. Reenter the world first discovered in Rand and Ryan Miller's facinating world of Myst.
