Hey Duders,

Here is a Deepish Look! My usual Deep Look videos focus in on a cool gameplay mechanic or story element from a game I have played the heck out of, in the hopes that I can share what makes that mechanic so cool. This Deepish Look is a bit less critical and a bit more review-y or Quick Look-y. I still try to give some good insight into the game I'm playing, but this video is geared a little bit towards people who may not have played the game in question. Also I aim to keep the videos under 20 minutes.

In this Deepish Look I meander through Riven for 14 minutes as I slowly lose my sanity. I explain some of the cool level and puzzle design in Riven that makes it great. Then I veer into ranting about why some of the puzzles are terrible and poorly designed. I try to make some actual progress only to find myself lost, wandering aimlessly. I finish up by wondering why I am playing this game at all. In short, its the full Riven experience in 14 minutes. Let me play it so you don't have to.
