Living in times of miracles
I can play Riven on my Ipad. Gethe eff outta here!
Awful
The graphics quality is shockingly bad. Considering the quality hi res versions that were originally rendered as part of the game dev, it’s pretty bad that they are now charging good money for low res pixelated rubbish. Was a great game once. Now dissappointing. Deleting.
Greatest Puzzle/Adventure Game of All Time
The original Riven in all of its glory. Just as good as I remember
Resolution is terrible
For me it was so grainy that it was unplayable.
Not as well done as real myst
The screen is very pixilated, unlike real myst. So pixilated, the darker scenes are a bit hard to see. It’s hard to appreciate all the wonderful scenes. Wish they’d given it the real myst treatment. It would’ve made the game a whole lot cooler.
Love the game, video frame rate much lower than original
I reinstalled my old copy of riven on a VM, and noticed the FMV frame rate on this version is maybe half of what it used to be. Really hurts the experience of the maglev rides and some of the puzzle animations which I used to love the details of back when this came out in the 90s. Of course that’s reason why it came on 5 CDs back in the day, but it would be nice to see the higher frame rates again.

Redownloading it for the 5th time
I have never looked up a walk through, I will finish this game one day… it has taken be many years. It’s a tough one but really good!
It's Riven and it's great
After reading some of the reviews for this game I felt like I needed to write something here. This is the classical point and click Riven. It's bizarre that some would consider this masterpiece as boring due to the fact that you "go for one picture to another" we all want a remake of Riven, but this does not imply that the original is boring, not even outdated given how beautiful this game looks on the iPad. I highly recommend it, it's unforgettable to visit World 5 of Gehn.

Stuck with an open journal, and no way back
I explored Myst many moons ago and wanted to try Riven on my iPad. Got five minutes into wandering around this super cool world and made the bad decision to open the journal. After reading all of the entries, I could not “close” the journal and return to Riven. I tried tapping, touching, swiping, pinching but the journal won’t close. The help section offers no help. Maybe I’m stuck in the Prison Book but I thought that was stolen when I arrived.

Awesome
I love playing this games. I’m so glad to play riven again. Lot easier to play on iPad then on the pc. Huge fan.
Yeah, it’s Riven, I guess...
I don’t understand how after all the years I’ve had this game for iOS, Cyan Worlds can’t do the right thing and fix the stuttering, grainy videos. This is a 25 year old game and this fix is somehow still a mystery? If the company had any credibility, they’d pull this game from the store until it is in a presentable state.

Not even close to the original
At least when I played on the pc, I could look around. This is no more than screen shots. Not a shred of 3d. I should have bought realMYST. I own both games from my PC days but cannot play them anymore. What a disappointment. Not worth it.
Graphics
Hard to play this game when visual cues are absolutely necessary it is so grainy it makes it almost impossible to play
No live moving around, & pixelated images
This is no realMyst equivalent. Instead of the smooth visual exploring experience, where you can see pretty much all vantage points fluidly, this has just N, S, E, W (and maybe up?) views that you toggle to using arrows. Also, when I found a letter and clicked on it, the image was pixelated! Agh!! Very disappointing. Waiting for realRiven to come out (hopefully!). Please don’t waste your money on this.

Problème de son sur certaines animations
Le son d’ambiance fonctionne bien mais pas celui des vidéos/animations qui sont souvent essentiels pour résoudre des énigmes. Je suis d’ailleurs incapable de terminer le jeux, je suis très déçu! Je viens de payer 8,49 $ pour rien ;-(
Loved!
I played Myst/Riven/Myst III as a kid with my Dad. It gives me such nostalgia to be able to play them again and on my iPad too! They are exactly as I remember them too! The graphics are awesome! I’ve always loved the dialogue and the dynamic gameplay of these games, and you’ve captured it so well! Thank you for bringing these fabulous games to my iPad!
Please, if I could make a request? Please, please make Myst III! Uru would be nice too, but please make Myst III! I often picture being able to play it on my iPad and long to do so!

Myst the mark
The graphics on myst were amazing- old school but amazing, they totally surrounded you in a 3D world.
Riven however is just a series of pictures you flick through. Instead of moving gracefully forward one step at a time and looking around to study the landscape and look for clues. You click once and your 6ft away, no looking left or right unless your at a junction. There’s no awareness of dimension with this game. It’s just a flat puzzle.
I expected more for that amount of money. Sorry very disappointed.

HORRIBLE
How does this App have ANY good reviews? Absolutely terrible antiquated movement between scenes and the graphics are the lowest resolution I’ve ever seen on an app in 2020. Money down the toilet. I can’t imagine playing this game even for 5 minutes. The developers should be embarrassed that they put their name on this junk.

Loved it
Hope they put other Myst games on iPad
Bad video quality
Riven is one of my favorite games of all time, but this version is just disappointing. I have encountered a lot of video segments that either have out of sync audio, a lot of missing frames which makes everything stutter, or really low resolution. While the game is playable, the bad animation/video quality ruins the immersive experience.
