Digital Foundry | From CD-ROM to Unreal Engine 5: Riven returns in spectacular style
Real-time 3D and VR deliver the immersion we could only dream of in the 1990s.
A classic adventure built in the early days of the multimedia gaming era, Riven is a beautiful first-person puzzle game that asks players to slowly unravel the mysteries of its unusual world. A sequel to the similarly celebrated Myst, Riven boasted arguably the most detailed pre-rendered backgrounds to date when it was released in 1997. And now it's back, stunningly realised in full real-time 3D via Unreal Engine 5, playable both as a standard game and a VR experience - and there's even a Meta Quest port. However you choose to play it, this release feels like the ultimate expression of developer Cyan's original vision.

Digital Foundry | Beyond Good and Evil's 20th Anniversary Edition: a near perfect way to revisit a classic
PS5, Xbox and Switch performance hiccups mar an otherwise well-crafted remaster.
Beyond Good and Evil's 20th Anniversary Edition is a near perfect remaster for fans of the 2003 original, with this cult classic's visuals improved over the previous HD release from 2011. Almost every texture, shader, and material is upgraded with a new asset - making for an often satisfying side-by-side comparison. Added to that, current-gen consoles like PS5 and Xbox Series X are also capable of running the game at 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. So from the outset, it's a slick upgrade that also thankfully avoids straying too far from director Michel Ancel and his team's original vision.
