Pepper2427 Well-Known Member Jan 11, 2011 1,498 0 36 Wits End #4 Pepper2427, Jan 28, 2011 Is it harder than Myst or about the same? TheSporkWithin Well-Known Member Jan 16, 2010 928 0 16 College student, studying English/Japanese lit. #5 TheSporkWithin, Jan 28, 2011 Much harder. The puzzles in Riven require much larger leaps of pattern recognition and logic. I wouldn't say it's impossible, but it's definitely very difficult to beat this without consulting hints of any kind. Pepper2427 Well-Known Member Jan 11, 2011 1,498 0 36 Wits End #6 Pepper2427, Jan 28, 2011 Looks like this will probably take me away from the real world for hours at a time then! Just have to download it at that price Malfhok Well-Known Member Jul 1, 2010 54 0 0 Freelance video IL http://phantommoose.com #7 Malfhok, Jan 28, 2011 It is harder/easier than Myst. The game is designed to have easier puzzles near the beginning, with one big tough puzzle as a climax. And that works fairly well. The optional hotspot hints added for the iPhone version definitely make it easier than it was on the desktop back in the day! And yeah, it's huge. Riven used to come on five CDs. There's a massive amount of territory to explore through. Pepper2427 Well-Known Member Jan 11, 2011 1,498 0 36 Wits End #8 Pepper2427, Jan 28, 2011 Wow. Can now see why it's such a big app. Will be good to play without having to change discs though (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
