May 18, 2026While Riven may stick closely to the formula established by Myst, it still delivers that same compelling blend of storytelling and exploration, only on a much larger scale. Combined with its improved technical presentation and an experience that’s every bit as captivating, Riven ultimately edges out Myst as the stronger overall game. Plus, on PlayStation, players get both the standard and VR versions in one package. Like Myst before it, the world of Riven is absolutely worth exploring.

Jun 11, 2026RIVEN was a back-to-back masterpiece following MYST, and it remains one today. Completely overhauled visually and made even more immersive through its excellent VR adaptation, it's an easy recommendation. If you've already experienced and loved MYST (especially in VR) then RIVEN is an unquestionable purchase.
