I hate the changes to Riven. They modified it to cater to VR and it really made me dislike it. I looked forward to the remake since the Starry Expanse project was started, that was like, 2009, and when I played it I felt so disappointed.
Interesting. I played Riven as a kid, and recently played the remake on PC (no VR) and I really enjoyed it. Felt more or less like a faithful recreation, and I didn’t notice anything specifically catering to VR. What parts were disappointing?
They removed all the sound puzzles, where the little wooden balls hidden everywhere made a noise of an animal when turned, and they had a number on the other side. They replaced it with looking through a telescope with a special lense on.
When you start the game and walk over the bridge to the right, through there they changed the entire layout.
They added some extra paths that changed the game around the big dome.
They changed the fire ball puzzle at the top of the big dome, now it’s super simple but more effort (you go into the weird black void and open some valves and press a button.

I’m sure there are a lot more.
