one of the greatest of all time

Really, really cool. A bonanza of freeform exploration with classic design and beautiful modern VFX.

As a remake, super pretty and faithful and rules. As a game, it can run looong. The later maps are MASSIVE and not always rewarding. But I still really enjoyed overall.

I have such a soft spot for this little game. Got it in a humble bundle 15 years ago, have beaten it twice, still sticks with me as an all-time fave.

Really really solid adaptation. Free roaming with modern graphics is a wayyy more pleasant way to play, as someone who only tried half an hour of the original and bounced off of it. I *loved* the puzzles and was thrilled to find out their Riven remake is already out. Rules.

I loved it. Beautiful art, fantastic sound design, wonderful vibes. Didn't play anything after the credits which I hear can be more of a slog, but the core game is lovely.

If you enjoy a sudoku, a bejeweled, a picross - treat yourself to a low-stress solitaire collection (with a lot of variety in style and difficulty bundled in!)

The launcher and menus are frustrating, the always-online is a pain, and the mocap facial painting technology has not aged particularly well. It's a neat and ambitious game but I can't really recommend. This might be better on console where it at least boots and controls more smoothly but hard to say.

This game rules. If you like Rift Wizard, you'll like this, and vice versa. "Broken build simulator" indeed.
