A fantastic remake of the game that formed Cyan's design philosophies. Riven (2024) is insanely good!

Most of the mechanics have been streamlined, still quite tough if you don't pay attention to the world around you. Remember, this is not Myst. It's not a straight-up puzzle game, it's an exploration game with puzzles. The puzzles are systems used by the Rivenese people, and you need to figure out how to use them too.

It's a really handsome game. Graphics are top-notch. UE5 has a great renderer as well so all the assets the team made really shine. So for graphics enthusiasts it's quite the treat.

The game is well optimized and runs really smooth. Even mid-spec systems really shouldn't have a problem with mid to high settings.

Robyn's score for the game is still hauntingly beautiful and very unique. You simply don't here music like this in games anymore. So nice to hear his music again, quite nostalgic.

If you're into puzzle, adventure and/or exploration titles don't sleep on this one. We don't get many of them anymore and if we want developers to make games like these we need to support them.

I'll assume that if you're reading this, you played the main game. So I won't be going into detail about the mechanics of the game.

The Whistleblower is a prequel of sorts to the main game. But also overlapping into the main story. In it you play Waylon, the guy who sent Miles the email about Mount Massive Asylum in the main game. Objective? Escape.

It plays exactly the same as the main game with a camcorder included, although I found myself hiding much less and doing way more running in this one. This might be due to less backtracking, mutliple levers or switches are replaced with singular objectives. Flip one lever, turn one valve ect. Backtracking does still occur though.

Some characters make a return, including Chris Walker (Big F'n Guy), The Wallrider, The Twins and Father Martin to name a few. You'll also be going through some familiar locations as well, which makes sense. It's still the same location after all.

The "scares" are about the same as the main game. If you could handle that, you'll be fine here. However, the shock value went WAY up. Cannibalism and necrophilia, which was in the main game are taken to a whole new level here.

Like other reviewers pointed out for its insperation, it's like New French Extremity films. Except in videogame form. One particular part in the last act is probably the most disturbing thing you'll ever see in a retail videogame. "The Groom" made my list for Top 10 antogonists in a videogame of all time. His actions and dialogue make the rest of the Variants in Outlast seem quite sane. It's like Vaas from Far Cry 3 and a splicer from Bioshock had a son, and that is the result.

I actually found myself enjoying the DLC more than the main game. If you enjoyed the main game, I highly recommend The Whistleblower. You'll love it!

A great Action-RPG. Similar to Torchlight/Diablo, if you like your RPG's to have a lot of loot then this game is for you.

Not particularly long but it's also quite cheap. As far as 'bang for buck' goes, you'll get your money's worth.

Highly recommended for anybody who enjoys open-world games and Hong Kong action movies. This game is great!
