Summary: My first video game.
Comment: I hold a deep affection for this game. My brother bought it for Playstation on a whim, having never either played or heard of Myst (I still haven't played it), and I played the game alongside him, both of us consulting the walkthrough the whole time (something I now do not condone, but we were young - what do you expect?), and thoroughly enjoying it. We had hours of fun playing it over and over, memorizing the steps, the scenes, and every instance of the number 5.
This game started my love for everything Myst related, and made me realize that I can play video games too. Until seeing this game, I thought that all video games required finger dexterity and quick reflexes, neither of which do I have.
Sure, it may not be the best as far as graphics when compared to newer games, and may not have the three-dimensionality of subsequent Myst games and many newer games, but it still holds a magical quality and the storyline can't be beat. This game is a true classic, and everyone who plays adventure games should play it. As far as storyline and puzzles go, this is what adventure games should be.

Summary: An incredible game!
Comment: Played it for the first time, after it has been out for over ten years. Great game. The puzzles are hard, but not impossible to solve. If you truly love Myst, then you will certainly love this game. (Do not use walkthroughs, it ruins the game!) Also, keep in mind that the 5-CD Riven set is for outdated computers. It will most likely not run on Vista or XP, at least not without some major glitches. Wish I had played this sooner.

Summary: This is the Best Game of the Series! (from MYST to End of Ages)
Comment: Riven is far and away the best game of the MYST series and for that matter the best game in the first-person adventure genre. The world is very big and the graphics are substantially better than the original MYST. But the best thing is that everything is integrated with the back story and current story. There are no puzzles for the sake of puzzles to go through. Everything has a reason for being, and you get to have the joy of unlocking those reasons.
If you only get one of the games from the MYST series, then get RIVEN.

Summary: I hate that I cheated
Comment: This is by far my favorite out of the Myst series. Before I knew better, I cheated to get to the ending, looking at walkthroughs. Unfortunately, it's not like you can 'undo' that memory in your head, and I've forever ruined the game in my eyes. The two biggie puzzles in this game involve clues from the whole game you've explored up to that point. I wish I had taken the time to fully appreciate their solution and not cheat.
