So obviously I bought the remastered Riven within hours of its release. So far, two comments: 1. It looks absolutely gorgeous, somehow preserving the original game's visual depth while switching formats to full-3D movement 2. They have changed the puzzles! How is this allowed?!

They WHAT??? That's completely evil. Well... at least it won't matter that I lost all my notes about 20 years ago.

The one disappointment - which you pretty much knew was coming - is that the FMV performances from the original game couldn't be ported over. Instead you get the old voice performances with 3D-animated characters. It's not as good, but probably the best you could hope for.

Oh, I will have to look at that. I mean, I’ve bought at least 2 editions of Myst so it is only fair.

I remember reading it was coming out a long time ago, thank you for reminding me. I really enjoyed the Myst remake.
