In Riven, you have the sense of a real place that could actually exist, and something is clearly going on there. Myst is more fragmented.
Oh and the backstory to the Myst island is great. So much detail. Who said beauty only existed in visuals.

Myst made you feel special. The adventure felt exclusive to only you. As if you were the first person to go on this journey. This is why I felt URU killed the series.
