Good but not great
It’s a really nice game with lots of strong points. It has varied and challenging puzzles, an intelligent and well-developed story, gorgeous graphics of admirable non-banal aesthetics.
The problem is that it still felt a bit disjointed and in general nothing new, just rendition of old patterns found repetitively in other adventure games, only this time with original and inspired audio-visuals. Also puzzles though varied and not as easy as they often are today, sometimes felt forced - e.g. you would know what to do easily and the difficulty laid only in finding right moment to do it/other things to do before that.
Still I found it a worthwhile experience.

Riven: The Sequel to Myst

One of the few best computer games I have ever played. Huge detailed world with very refined story, even whole history. It really is a work of art packaged as a video game. I also give very big warm up to the puzzles, which are hard (I found modern adventure games much too easy), but never ridiculous and illogical. The problem for some might be the feeling of being lost - too many locations and things to do with hardly any linearity and none “leading by the hand” from the game. I considered it an advantage though.
I totally recommend giving this site a read after you finish the game: http://mystarchive.com/rivenil/main.html. It contains a lot of background info, explaining meaning and genesis of ridiculous number of things in the game. After reading it you will admire the creators ambitions even more.
