60 of 196 · most liked firstFly raven fly, be free This game is a pleasant surprise for adventure game fans. It's not anything exception, but it's definitely an exciting adventure with some plot twists. You'll explore a lot of different locations and will need to solve puzzles. Which are pretty diverse and require some thinking. Puzzles might become pretty difficult at times, but being thorough is rewarding when you finally solve it. I always prefer games with good stories and in this game you want to uncover the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Raven Remastered was a free remaster version for all owners of the original game, which is a really nice gesture from King Art and THQ Nordic. Although the game itself didn't change much, it was enhanced graphically to a visible degree and made an already great game even better. Anyone not yet having had the pleasure to play The Raven, might just as well pick this up the very first time this goes on sale. Personally I believed it to be one of the best point and click adventures of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Raven: Remastered!? Did anyone ask for this? It's been awhile since I played this game so I thought I'd try it again, besides, there are more achievements I could obtain. Unfortunately, I quickly remembered why I didn't like this game the first time... and now it's worse because it crashed three times. Something the original didn't do. I love puzzle games. Finding clues and putting them together to achieve your desired goal is what I love to do. The Raven: Legacy of the Master Thief does…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gonna repeat my review from the original game A fantastic detective story with a very well-written scenario which includes mystery,tragedy,love,betrayal and investigation! The ending is also in the style of good detective novels! 10/10 raven feathers
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Getting the Remastered for free was nice, thanks. However, I cannot recommend the Remastered version, as with my personal experience on it there is literally no difference from the original, maybe even a little worse with added bugs. The game in General is top notch and I will recommend it to anyone who likes point'n'click mystery adventure games, just make sure you play the original, and not this half baked "remaster".
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An excellent point and click adventure and detective game. The Raven flaunts absolutely terrific voice acting with a fantastic score. A captivating story which does admittedly at times require some patience. The Raven is a bit of a slow burn, but the twists and turns will likely pull you back in. This is certainly a casual game. Fans of fast paced action and combat will likely be disappointed. The story at it's core is rather mature, but the game certainly has some innocence about it with an…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Raven Remastered is a very good game. +Graphics +Gameplay +Story is good +Detective I really didn't expect it to be such a good game and I love it, it has a pretty good story and the characters are well punctuated and the atmosphere is just as good. 10/10 Must Play! an honorable adventure game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot recommend the remastered version purely because my peenisey new (well I did buy it in August 2018 but the graphics card was still a C U Next Tuesday back then) Dell "gaming" laptop is soooo ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that it refuses to play most newer games. However, the original is just playing great on here so go buy that one if you have the same awful laptop bs and graphics card nightmare like me <3 Oh and btw I did get this version for free coz I already owned the original :D
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love the classical feeling in this game....highly recommend specially for of Agatha Christie's novels fans :) " You're missing a purse? Was it stolen? / constable Zellner - At the very least, I cannot find it, sir. / butler - It was stolen! / Baroness - When was the last time the Baroness saw her purse? / constable Zellner - In Zurich, on the platform, sir. / butler - I just asked where you last saw your purse.../ constable Zellner - In Zurich, on the platform. / Baroness - James tell him…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beware. Most of the game is ok'isch, nothing exciting but quite nice. Sadly it also introduces deathloop as a game mechanic later on. Thats a particulary nasty game mechanic: literally guess what the developer thinks now fast enough or die. Over and over again. Sadly the solution is not obvious (nor clearly visible) so this sucks quite a bit of fun from the game. This mechanic is introduced a little into the Game, there is no indication that this will happen, so when it happens, the timelimit…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Remasters and what not to do: Don't fix in-game logic or mechanics. Introduce new graphical glitches for the sake of graphically "improving" a simple point 'n' click game. Thanks but no thanks.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wish I could recommend this game but good Lord, it really didn't let me. The graphics, even after a few years, are really pleasant and I liked the aesthetics of The Raven but THE GLITCHES turn a gameplay into nightmare and suck all the joy out of what supposed to be an entertainment. It is the third time I had to go to see the walktrough just to find out I did not miss something but there was a bug and I had to replay some parts because there was no dialogue option, no interaction with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The amount of detail poured into this story is absolutely mind boggling! The voice acting is amazing and there are thousands of lines of dialog. The characters are very interesting. The game has 5 chapters and it's a very long game. Sadly the in game puzzles are sometimes very tedious on par with Monkey Island. I know that's a beloved franchise, but so many times we quit that game in frustration because the item combo puzzles were drawn out, far fetched and didn't always make sense, or even…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sadly the game to put it sadly is just boring. The puzzles are fine and the soundtrack is good but everything else is subpar. The voice acting is inconsistent at best, the gameplay is your classic point and click fortunately no surprises there. Graphics are lets just say fine it is an old game and i dont really care that much about graphics anyway. The worst thing though and sadly the most important is the story and characters, there is not one single memorable character in the entire game in a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very basic point-and-click adventure game with tired mechanics and a frustrating late game The Raven Remastered looks very good, and is very good... for about 30% of its total runtime. After that, the intrigue and mystery fade as the game switches character perspective and never really catches up to the fun of the beginning. It feels like a movie where the director realizes halfway through they have an extra half hour they need to fill, and that extra feels like an eternity. While there's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Murderers leave evidence they are nervous...or unnaturally relaxed. They have to adjust constantly and because of that, they make mistakes. This is your chance...if you find the mistakes you will find your murderer" if you are a fan of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot this game is the must-play title you don't want to miss. The Raven Remastered is one of the best detective games I have ever played. splendid storytelling, amazing voice acting, and brilliant dialogues. Characters are very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am having a very hard time giving this game a thumbs up, but in fairness I DO plan on finishing it even if I don't necessarily think it's all that great. It's basically a Sherlock Holmes/Nancy Drew type game so if you're starving for a detective game, get this, but don't pay full price. It's the equivalent of gas station potato chips when what you really want is good old-fashioned diner french fries--like, the idea and ingredients are pretty much the same but the execution is vastly…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Background: If you were born in the 80`s you surely remember how the entertainment culture was then. You did not have Iphone, Ipad or any kind of tablets. PC was something alien and the first entertainment consoles were very "basic". At that time people read books and cartoons. People used their imagination and played board games. Around easter people watched crime movies and the likes of Agatha Christie became like a tradition. I was born in 1980 and was entertained by Hercule Poirot.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thoroughly enjoyed the game - even though some of the puzzles were quite hard, they were logical - I liked the story with all its twists, and this was the first adventure game where I managed to get all the achievements - albeit some of them going back to old saves after finishing the game - I played this as group play on Senscape server on Discord and had help along the way - I played with a combination of mouse and controller - the controller helped in finding the hotspots
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is an elegant homage to classic detective stories in the spirit of Agatha Christie novels. But its gameplay can hardly be called anything other than painful. Everything is TERRIBLY slow. I can swear that after one mouse click, I can go to drink some tea, and when I come back, I find that the character barely got from one room to another.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an absolute unsung gem. Classes above the more highly publicized 'ABC Murders', this is a lush and indulgent Agatha Christie whoddunit. Ideal for long winter nights with fine whiskey by your side.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An OK point-and-click game, inspired by Agatha Christie, but nothing to be enthused about. Not very long or complex (there are only 3 main areas: the train, the ship and the museum), but the story is interesting enough, with a few surprises and a nice twist at the end, although there are some serious plot holes. The characters lack charisma, not one of them is special. Puzzles are simple and, for the most part, straightforward, so it's very rare to get stuck. The only time I had to check a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great story elements that never really cohere, excellent body and eye animation held back by an absence of facial animation and a controller input model that made me want to eat my own fist. Nonetheless - worth a play for the narrative twists and turns...! The Raven presents an Agatha Christie-style whodunnit, but with about twice as many twists. There's some solid character writing on top of some very broad archetypes - they have distinct voices but... none of them are especially…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An excellent point 'n click game that reminded me of another amazing point 'n click game from the same studio. The Book of Unwritten tales. If you liked those games, you'll like this one as well! There is an avoidable game breaking bug during chapter 2. Don't grab the tower BEFORE heading out of the train window. Head out of the train first, then come back in and grab the towel.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Two most important things to know about this game: (1) I was afraid the remastered version is full of bugs, judging by the comments, but it's definitely not a thing anymore - the only ~5 bugs I noticed were minor textures loading weirdly, which had absolutely no effect on my experience, (2) it's one of the liveliest and well-thought games ever, especially for all the point-n-click adventure enthusiasts. No spoilers ahead. - Visuals: It feels pretty enough to be enjoyable in 2022. Dynamic…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Raven Remastered may look a little better than the original, but it's still a buggy mess. It didn't hard crash my pc as did the previous version of the game is about the only good thing I can say about this game. Menus and prompts are still bugged and I was not able to navigate. I got the original for $2.50 and this for free and I feel like I overpaid.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was a fun game within its genre, except some visualization and optimization issues. 8/10 Eğlenceli ve hoş hikayesi olan bir oyundu. Bazen sorunu çözmek için çok dikkatli taramak gerekiyor ekranı ve orta grafik ayarlarında bazı nesneleri görebilmek zor olabiliyor. Bunun dışında türünün sevenleri için gayet güzel bir oyun..
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent game. Beautiful art and music, interesting story. A bit lacking in puzzles but just treat this as more of a Telltale-style game. Haven't noticed any bugs (they must have fixed them after all the bad reviews had already come through...) The original game is basically unplayable now, never worked for me at least, but this one seems to work fine on a modern system.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →**Basics** The Raven is a mystery/RPG/point and click adventure in which you play as a policeman who has been tasked with the mission of finding the culprit of the great jewel robbery. **Contents** To find the additional Remastered content, you must travel deep into you computers file system to dig up the added jewels, namely music, artwork and the making of the game. Oh! and don't forget to print off your very own Raven Mask **System** To play to the top experience, play on a GPU that can…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Raven Remastered is a pretty good adventure/point 'n click game, on the detective field. It has a solid gameplay. I had the previous version of the game and was very glad to receive a copy of the remastered version in my library (as every owner of the original game did). Many thanks to the developpers for that kind gesture :) The storyline is, as it was in the older version, very good and well put together, with twists and suspense till the very end of the game. MINOR SPOILER : Don't skip…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really bad remastered version compared to the original. - Settings: resolution automatically reset to 320x200 and you have to set it manually each you want to change any other settings. - Cut scenes: from episode 2, most cust scenes play only a few frames then freeze; the audio continue to play normally. The game resumes normally once the cut scene is over. - Achievements: some achievements (mainly Advanced and Master Detective ones) do not unlock.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story is pretty intriging and the voice acting was good. Worth a play if you enjoys point and click adventure games. To the developer: Thanks for remastering the game and release it for free for whoever had the original game :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story itself is okay, it takes a lot of inspiration from agatha christie novels. The biggest issues I have are that this "remake" doesn't really do much to improve on the original version other than lumping all three episodes in to one game. There are graphical issues, and sometimes the spoken dialog doesn't match the subtitles (not often but it's there). In one case in chapter 2 there is a game breaking bug that causes you to have to alt+f4 to force quit the game. Most of the achievements…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice old point and click. Took 10 hours to play. Agatha Christie story rip-off, but the characters were fun and the artwork lovely. The hotspot highlight tool did not help at all - impossible to see the highlight. But I really didn't need it, as the game was very easy. There was one puzzle in the Cairo museum that needed walkthrough help. First half you play as a Swiss policeman. Second half as a an Egyptian thief. Takes place on the Orient Express, a cruise ship from Venice to Cairo,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have run into so many bugs in this game. If it wasn't for the awful programming I might have actually enjoyed this. My game bugged out completely at the second train sequence, after finding out who the Raven is. Shame. I have no desire to start from scratch but disappointed I can't finish. I wouldn't purchase this game unless you're ready to deal with more issues than it's worth.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a wonderful game! It was truly captivating from start to finish. It can be challenging at times, but not challenging enough to so frustrating that you rage quit. Sometimes I found that it was on the verge of pixel hunting, but the in game hint system was amazing in situations like that. The storytelling was immaculate and the characters are lovable. I am very very very late to this game but I am so glad I got to play it. I play on PC, so I can only speak for the bugs that PC users…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun Agatha Christie-style point-and-click adventure. Highly recommend this one for detective game enthusiasts
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're not a die hard Poirot fan over 50 years old, you will not enjoy this game. Terrible dialogues, all bow to the aristocrats. Who cares what anyone has to say in this game? Yeah I only have about 30 minutes into this game, for a reason.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After I have played and finished the Raven and also tried the remaster version. There is simply no adventure game that has that depth, intrigue, scenario, puzzle, graphic and dialogue quality. In short, such games are hard to find in the adventure game genre. I write this review long time after I finished the game, but since then, I have not found a similar adventure game released, like "the Raven".
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great storyline, nice graphics and good soundtrack.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First a big cheer for the devs. for giving away the remastered edition to owners of the old version. I did not finish the old version too long ago...about 2 years, so still had it in mind when playing this remastered edition. Despite the fact that I allready finished it, I loved playing this version as well. Very engaging story with nice plot twists. Loved the music, and therefor also loved the added contert; a concert with the game music . Great remake! Just a few minor graphics/ screen…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun game, that has a solid mystery and doesn't overstay its welcome. I was genuinely surprised by how cinematic the storytelling was, though the graphics struggled to match the ambition. I also had some real issues with the exact positioning of hit boxes, making certain sections more frustrating than I think they were meant to be. I don't think I can recommend this at full price, but it's well worth it on discount.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good game which dared to be different, it was humorous and fun to play, the voice acting was above average and you felt like you were in a movie. We had to use the hot spot hint once because we didn't look properly, but everything was solvable. A good Adventure game worth playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a thrilling story in 3 chapters, first 2 chapters a kind of detective story, gaining speed when it turns into a heits story in the 3rd chapter. The puzzles are mostly fair, some easier some more difficult. The graphics are impressive - characters had some mixture between cartoonic and realistic design, and so were the scene decorations, neither too simple nor too overdone. The music is totally enjoyable in every scene and adds to their atmosphere.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Raven Remastered improves animations, lighting, and hair effects while upgrading the game to full HD. It also adds new language subtitles, but otherwise, it remains the same game with the same strengths and flaws as the original. Here is my review to the original game: The Raven is a point-and-click adventure game with murder, theft, and plenty of unexpected turns and surprises. It feels just like an Agatha Christie crime novel. A lot of the characters, places, and story elements seem…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't fully recommend the remastered version because while it does look better when it _works_, the new lighting bugs out more often than not on lower settings, making the it look worse than in the original, and it's not well optimized - that said, the original (which looks fine and runs better) is included when purchasing the remaster, so the recommendation stands. a finely plotted and more modern experience for agatha christie lovers that enjoyed the and then there were none, murder on the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty good adventure game with some twists and turns. Some of the 'find the small thing' was pretty annoying. There are never too many items so it is easy to figure out what you have to do but it is worth it for the story. I had issues running it on Linux - it would sometimes not start and freeze the computer - few times in a row sometimes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This remaster thankfully fixes most of the bugs in the original game, giving you a smoother experience overall. It's still a bit stiff and not every puzzle is a winner, but as the best way to experience a very underrated point-and-click adventure game, The Raven Remastered finally brings this experience a lot closer to its true potential.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do love the occasional detective show, and this game is reminiscent of the Hercule Poirot novels, shows and movies. It has that nice retro nostalgia, and just before the 60 went too rad. The game had me guessing the plot and stories throughout game, yet it succeeded in surprising me at just about every turn. It is well written, acted well, and gave a surprise ending fit for the cinemas. This guilty pleasure game is worth the play for anyone that wants to take the time while not having to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Raven or Pigeon? The Raven Reamstered is a nice game, that pulls you into a detective story whith secrets and unexpected twists. It's not necessarily better or worse compared to other games of that kind. If you like analytical story games like Monkey Island (yes, in its core it's a detective story!), Ace Attorney, Detroit Bedcome Human, or Blacksad, you might also like The Raven. Pros +An interesting story with - most of the time - clever story telling through different figures with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a cute and fun point and click with a great story and ending. Highly recommended for all point and click mystery game enthusiasts.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →what a masterpiece, pros - good story - relaxing gameplay - recommended if you want to play some detective story cons - bug in some cutscene (can make you uncomfortable) things to consider - it's not an action game nor hack & slash (bear it in your mind)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a mystery game I can get behind! You have crimes to solve, suspects to question, clues to find and analyse. It's point-and-click, which is useful for people who easily get seasick. There's drama, there are twists, locations to explore. I won't say any more; I don't want to risk giving away anything important. But this clear homage to Agatha Christie's stories took me several hours to complete. I haven't played the original yet, though I'm sure I'll enjoy it just as much, even…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is the same game of the original. The thing I don't understand is, why did they sell it on a bundle with the original one if they did the exact same game? How is this not a rip off, can anyone explain? I did not like the first game so I don't recommend this one also. It is a bad adventure game with a low quality story and ridicilous gameplay.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good Sherlock Holmes-like game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is worth your time, a well designed adventure game with a clickthrough system that does not force you to come back to the same point hundreds of times. Interestign story with a number of twists, recommended as it requires minimal walkthrough abuse
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice remastered version with better graphics, was fun to play and took some time to finish, about 13 hours. Challenging at times, not knowing what or where to go next in order to progress.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is way too much dialogue going on in this game. Found myself reading the lines myself then skip to the next line.... Game is good overall other than (Excessive dialogue) that is my only criticism.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beautiful graphics, and music. Just like you expect from King Art Games, Nordic Games and the Adventure Company. No dead-ends, so a well written game in terms of that, and a fun storyline to follow. Puzzles hard enough to keep the experienced adventurer engaged, but not too hard to put the newbies off. A fine game. 5/5.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Figuring out how to progress the game is booty drip juice sometimes. But gosh dang, that story was great.
