Arxel Tribe
Cryo

First Person
"Let me say right up front that I can forgive this game more or less all its faults simply because it took me right back to my beginnings as an adventurer.

"The first game I ever played was Riven and the second was Atlantis by Cryo – (not surprisingly I became an immediate adventure-game junkie!) Anyway, Ring is also by Cryo and has many similarities to that first Atlantis production...

"The first thing that hits you about this game is the graphics. These days we are pretty blasé about gaming artwork and expect a photo-realistic standard. It would be difficult to use this description for Ring, in fact I would suggest that it has a quality all of its own. Awesome, confusing, surreal are all adjectives I would use to describe the look of this game. If anyone remembers those weird and wonderful toys of the 1980s called ‘transformers’ – well, that might give you some idea of what I’m trying to describe. If not, then I would recommend taking a look at some of the screenshots – this is art, with or without the game." -
