Riven on Meta Quest 3 and PCVR: Cyan's remade 1997 masterpiece, built for VR.
The best puzzle and exploration game on Quest, with a few Quest-specific caveats.

Riven returns on Meta Quest 3 and PCVR as Cyan's full remake of the 1997 Myst sequel, rebuilt in Unreal with motion-captured performances and room-scale puzzle solving. The PC version is stunning; the Quest version is a genuinely beautiful attempt with a handful of texture and water-rendering compromises. We look at why VR is now the definitive way to play Riven and where the Quest port falls behind its PC counterpart.
