Riven (Legacy) for Mobile

Update to fix this issue

Because Cyan is STILL releasing updates to an 8yr old iOS game based on a 25 year old PC game.

This game came out in the 90’s and was way ahead of it’s time. Beautifully done and for me-nostalgic. Nice to see it again.

I’m guessing it’s better on a computer or other device, but on the iPhone the design has many flaws. The zoom in feature is really annoying, so it’s easy to miss lots of clues, and sometimes when you tap on a clue it doesn’t work. That’s just a few issues on the design. The method to move around is a little underwhelming, but if you’re patient and dedicated to the game, you get used to it. The gameplay is awesome, a great sequel to Myst, but I recommend NOT playing on the phone and choosing a different not-so-annoying version.

Don’t update this app if you can help it. It is changed completely and it really stinks.

It’s been maybe 7 years since this was released. Audio is cut out. Graphics rendering is very low quality. Time for an overhaul

It’s the same Riven I remember but it seems Cyan has forgotten that Myst fans love the ambiance of the cut scenes as much as we love playing the game. They need to get rid of the giant, green, cartoonish fast-forward button and just make it a double tap anywhere on the screen.

this is nothing but still pictures. I don’t know why Cyan even bothered.

This is not smooth. It moves frame by frame. Nothing like realMyst. This is unplayable. I am disappointed.

I remember looking for this for iOS a few years ago and not finding it. What a nice surprise when I checked again yesterday! Thanks Cyan!
