Sound Is The Key To Remaking This All-Time Classic

Even with its gorgeous modern graphics and intricate puzzles, 2024’s Riven impressed me most with its sounds. The remake of the 1997 sequel to the seminal puzzle game Myst is a masterclass in how creating an ambient soundscape can help flesh out the world of the game. Even with so much visual...

22.7.2024
Netflix is for films and TV, and Game Pass is for video games, right? It’s simple.
