Everyone account I’ve seen from that instance is wacky as hell too. I don’t know what the deal is with it

You shouldn’t get hate for it. Most people aren’t that deep into the weeds of their given apps to worry about this stuff, and honestly, that’s probably healthy 😅

I think you’re spot on, and the results are demonstrating how that doesn’t work at all.

Corporate so desperately wants art to be a science, and it’s falling flat on its face over and over in doing so.

I think so. It’s a lot deeper and bigger. It has some of the best environmental story telling around, and the aesthetic is a lot more refined. Myst is kind of eclectic and riven is more thought out. It really wants you to understand aspects of the place you’re in in order to solve the puzzles.

They both have the same style of physical/mechanical feeling puzzles with no inventory, which I’ve always loved about these games.

Myst 3 and 4 are pretty good too if you end up wanting more. Neither are on the level of the first two, but they’re good in their own ways.

One of the most influential games for me. Riven even more so if you decide to continue on. There’s just something special about the aesthetic like you mentioned.

I think games are on like a minimum of 3 services this year. It’s just out of control.
