Enlarge / The same gorgeous vistas return in the Riven remake. (credit: Samuel Axon) A remake of Riven: The Sequel to Myst launched this week, made by the original game's developers. It strikes a fascinating balance between re-creation and reinvention, and based on a couple of hours of playing it, it's a resounding success. Myst was the classic most people remembered fondly from the early CD-ROM era, but for me, its sequel, Riven, was the highlight.
