    A faithful port of the sequel to the classic adventure game, Riven delivers the beautiful world of riddles that fans know and love.

    It is a great port with a good save system, bookmarks and multitasking compatibility. The puzzles are intriguing, and the game world is immense.

    Overall, this is a solid and satisfying port of an older game that, while a little (okay, a lot) slow and slightly creaky, can still deliver a rich and meaty puzzle experience to be savored by adventure game lovers.

    Myst was, by comparison, only a small taste of what was to come in the sequel 'Riven' and now gamers can explore complex world filled with wonder and betrayal no matter where they are.

    If you liked Riven the first time around, or loved Myst and never played Riven, you'll really enjoy this blast from the past.

    Although this port does little to spruce up a decade-old adventure, enough quality shines through to make Riven a worthwhile play.

    J’ai chopé ça je ne sais plus où, ça devait être sur le couvercle d’une poubelle ou dans un bac à merde, je ne me rappelle plus… En tout cas,J’ai chopé ça je ne sais plus où, ça devait être sur le couvercle d’une poubelle ou dans un bac à merde, je ne me rappelle plus… En tout cas, c’est une « ré-édition » de 2004 si je puis dire dans la « Hits Collection » parce qu’il paraît que c’était un « hit », ouais, ouais, ouais… et mon cul, c’est du poulet ?

    Bon, au moins ça tient sur un dvd en lieu et place des 4 cd d’origine (!), car cette vieille daube sent le renfermé: elle remonte en effet à 1997 ! ce qui explique qu’elle ne marche qu’en mode compatibilité 95 ou 98 sur XP, un détail omis lors de l’installation par le distributeur de l’étron. Ce qui peut expliquer également que les vidéos « live » n’aient pas de son, contrairement au reste du jeu.

    Mais on ne va pas s’étendre outre-mesure sur les soucis et les bugs foireux d’une vieille daube de cet acabit, cette espèce de simulateur poussif de diapos, abscons et très con, chiant comme la pluie et sans aucun intérêt. Une grosse vieille merde donc, à ranger sous le paillasson, après s’être essuyé les pieds dessus !    … Full Review »
