Expertly crafted. The immersion of this game is unmatched by anything else I've ever played. It's very old, but works flawlessly on modern systems (PC & Mac)

For the time that you play this game, you feel transported into the world of Riven. You are an explorer; and you find yourself writing actual notes on paper or on your iPad. Seriously, you need somewhere to write down your thoughts. This is a necessity to make any progress. I don't know of any other game that requires this or uses the idea so expertly.

Don't expect the game to hold your hand because it won't, but if you enter this world with intrigue and a science-y archaeology mindset then you'll have no trouble completing it.
