It will give you a lot of puzzles to solve that you can attack right away. Obstruction is a mix of both but is mostly similar to Myst. For puzzle-solving gameplay Myst is a better title, it gives you a lot of puzzels that stand on their own and unlike in Riven you can start trying to solve them straight away instead of walking around contemplatining the purpose of the world. For a game that can easily take 15-20 hours that means a lot of the time will not be spending solving actuall puzzles. That said Riven is all about doing virtural archeology and undertanding the world to beat it, there is only 2 main puzzles and a bunch of smaller obstacles. It's a puzzle that is litteraly impossible to quess or figure out unless you truly undertand the world/story of Riven, but once you do it becomes suprsingly easy. The fire-marble puzzle alone asks you to undertand the purpose of the world's infastructure and Ghens motivations, at the same time the act of solving it will further develop the character of Ghen in a subtle way. The way that game makes worldbuilding, storyline and gameplay one and the same is unmatched so far in the gaming industry.
