About

Riven (2024) is a ground-up remake of the classic 1997 puzzle adventure game that originally defined the genre. The remake transforms the experience with a fully traversable 3D environment, offering players the choice between traditional first-person exploration or immersive VR gameplay. It's an adventure-casual title that appeals to both nostalgic fans and newcomers looking for atmospheric puzzle-solving gameplay.

Running Riven requires a mid-range GPU with a benchmark score around 16,114 and a CPU score of approximately 17,443, paired with 16 GB of RAM. This means the game is moderately demanding but accessible to most modern PC gaming setups. You can expect solid FPS performance on mid-tier graphics cards, making it a reasonable benchmark title for testing your system's capabilities without extreme optimization challenges.

With an 81/100 rating, Riven delivers a compelling experience for adventure and puzzle game enthusiasts. If atmospheric exploration and intricate puzzle-solving appeal to you, this remake is well worth playing on your capable PC.

Performance profile

June 2024 release. As a current-generation title, Riven pushes modern hardware — expect to need an RTX 40-series or RX 7000-series GPU to enjoy it at native 4K Ultra without leaning on upscaling.

Riven is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

High-end requirement. Riven needs an RTX 4070 Ti or RX 7800 XT for comfortable 1440p 60 FPS at High settings. 4K Ultra 60 FPS is flagship territory — RTX 4080 Super / RX 7900 XTX minimum without upscaling.

Storyline

Atrus asks you to undertake a perilous mission where your success is far from assured. Travel to Riven, a mysterious island-filled land on the verge of collapse, to rescue Atrus’ wife, Catherine. She is being held captive by Gehn, Atrus’ father and the self-declared overlord of Riven. Explore Riven, solve puzzles to reveal its mysteries, find Catherine, and make your escape.
