An Excellent Remake
As a huge fan of the original game I was amazed by the remake: a fresh takes on several existing puzzles, *new* puzzles that fit the atmosphere of the original game, and an environment that exceeded all my expectations of fidelity for a 3D environment - the sense of realism the original stills gave was retained even in 3D, which is a hard feat even for newer games to pull off. My only two criticisms were the characters: they were flat, both the animations and some of the new voice performances (for all I love Rand, his original performance of Atrus was better - also the model needed to be more emotive), and also the new fissure fast-travel system - it wasn't all that fast, and while I found the lore additions fascinating and the globe rotation mechanic intriguing I didn't think the music blended well (I listen to the original soundrtack all the time and the fissue music feels out of place by comparison - not bad, just mismatched) and I felt the globe rotation was unnecessary. Overall the new fissue felt very Obduction-like, not as much Riven-like. Criticisms all said, I still *loved* this remake; I will be playing it again once I forget how to do half the puzzles, and I loved the lore additions, both novel (e.g. the powermarbles in the fissue) and additions from the novels. I specifically want to call-out Anna's portrayal; the one character model that I thought was believably emotive, and the actress did an amazing job making me feel the emotions in her lines as well - exactly how I'd imagine Anna sounding after walking Gehn out of the volcano at the end of her book.
