Nexus - The Jupiter Incident

I feel your pain. The Myst series ended with Riven. What solhud have heralded a new era for immersive, puzzling, emotionally compelling games instead heralded the inexplicable death of it.I think Riven emerged from a rare perfect storm. It may happen again, but not in Cyan's hands. The sequels strike me as being about as planned as The Matrix sequels, and they end up similar in relative quality: not even necessarily bad, just missing the indescribable magic that you can't put your finger on. I'd like to blame Robyn's leaving of Cyan after the release of Riven, but the more probable reality is that these things cannot last.The most beautiful part of Riven? For me, I think it's the sky. I don't think I've ever seen a sky that is so simultaneously idealistic yet realistic.
