Riven VR

Nicely made remake of famous adventure game from 1990's with focus on puzzle solving, mystery and rich story line.

Strong sides:

  • Impression and immersivity, especially if you played original game
  • Fantastic world, characters and atmosphere
  • Nicely crafted puzzles with authentic mechanics and difficulty
  • Rich story and focus on story-telling and exploration
  • Great re-imigination of original with VR support, very special for old fans

Weak sides:

  • Some puzzles might be quite difficult
  • Lack of in-game hints and journal for notes
  • Game isn't running perfectly on Quest 2 due lack of performance (see the note)

Summary and conclusion:

This is a well-crafted VR reimagination of the legendary game, but we won't recommend it to everyone due to its non-casual difficulty. It is an ideal choice for fans of the series and those who enjoy above-average challenge in puzzle games.
Riven VR
