As an older, and increasingly jaded gamer, I'm having a hard time remembering when I've last been so excited over a release as this one. Riven is seemingly getting the gold-standard treatment with a ground-up remake that not only utilizes 3D (and VR) to give depth to the world but also adds new content while keeping the visuals near one-to-one.
My favorite part of Riven personally is the excellent soundtrack, I can't wait to hear it while wandering around and exploring this space all over again. Cheers, Lemmy!

Oh this is amazing!

Riven was one of the earliest games that had a huge impact on me and made me spend countless hours away from the game just daydreaming about it. I loved poking around the island looking for the hidden rebel base. I especially loved the interconnectedness of it. A lot of people talk about the experience in Dark Souls of coming out of a short cut, looking around, and saying to themselves, "Oh my god, I'm here!?!" but I first had that experience so long ago when I opened up the fish mouth and was back in the forest. Man, the level design in that game was top notch.
