EX: Riven - An Adventure Classic Returns on PC & Meta Quest

An adventure classic first launched in 1997, Cyan's Riven was built around pre-rendered imagery and full motion video, expertly utilising the CD-ROM format. And now, in 2024, Riven has returned, with Cyan's original vision fully realised in Unreal Engine 5 with beautiful real-time 3D. John revisits the classic and concentrates on what made it original and distinct, before checking out the remake in all of its glory on high-end PC, PC VR and the intriguing Meta Quest port.
