Riven is a great stand-alone game -- you don't have to play Myst to understand Riven. If you want to play both Myst and Riven, I recommend you buy AGES OF MYST -- It gives you both games for less than what you'd pay if you bought both games separately. Also, it includes a very cool hard cover journal that was made especially for this package and a Making of Riven CD-ROM video. There's also a Web site (agesofmyst.com) that has interviews with the game's creators and some more information on both games.
This is the Best Game of the Series! (from MYST to End of Ages)

Riven is far and away the best game of the MYST series and for that matter the best game in the first-person adventure genre. The world is very big and the graphics are substantially better than the original MYST. But the best thing is that everything is integrated with the back story and current story. There are no puzzles for the sake of puzzles to go through. Everything has a reason for being, and you get to have the joy of unlocking those reasons.
If you only get one of the games from the MYST series, then get RIVEN.
I hate that I cheated

This is by far my favorite out of the Myst series. Before I knew better, I cheated to get to the ending, looking at walkthroughs. Unfortunately, it's not like you can 'undo' that memory in your head, and I've forever ruined the game in my eyes. The two biggie puzzles in this game involve clues from the whole game you've explored up to that point. I wish I had taken the time to fully appreciate their solution and not cheat.
