"Will be misunderstood by people who don't understand it"? deep. I personally don't understand why people feel the need to belittle the opinions of those who disagree with them.
However, hearing how great Myst is and how wrong I am for disliking it is not what I'm about right now, so I'll refrain from commenting.
Thanks for the feedback. If I understood correctly, some of the issues weren't fixed (same confusing interface) but some were (puzzle solutions aren't always in the next screen, so puzzles are deeper than "figure out a single mechanism and use it repeatedly"). I'm still curious about the plot. In Myst you had the Gibsonesque "throw you in the middle of things", followed by no story unfolding, and then a big "reveal everything" scene. Is Riven similar in that regard (no plot development in exchange for perfect non-linearity) or is it more like a traditional story telling game?
