About The Raven - Legacy of a Master Thief

✦ AI summary

Unravel a sprawling crime mystery across three chapters that lets you experience a gentleman thief's legacy from both the investigator's and the criminal's perspectives, packed with heists, twists, and cinematic storytelling. With hundreds of camera angles, optional puzzles, and a clever notebook system, it blends classic whodunit thrills with high-stakes heist gameplay for both adventure game newcomers and veterans.

I enjoyed half of the story but when it comes to the ending, I was surprised but not satisfied. It feels like there are some stuff cut from the game, maybe 'cause they were running low on cash or had to release the game ASAP. It's got a solid concept, but the delivery? Not so much. In terms of gameplay, it's a good 3D point and click game, but unfortunately, the bugs destroy the experience. Chapter 1 frustrated me so much with the camera angle, forcing me to move the character forward-backward repeatedly just to see if the game changes the camera angle miraculously. But there's more, several time happened when my character went invisible after I clicked an object. Walk in circles in an infinite loop. Delay time to next conversation or next animation. Buggy audio and animation. And there's one character that gives me Uncanny Valley vibe. Also, pitch-black areas? They're seriously pitch-black. I can't see a single environment clearly. And what was that lockpicking mechanism? Never seen a lockpicking puzzle like that. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3233544834 I can't tell should you play the original or the remastered. I'm worry if the remastered still has t…

It's a point-and-click adventure made by the same people who have worked on The Book of Unwritten Tales. So? Is it any good? Of course it is! Is it even better than TBoUT? Don't be silly. I said it's good. Not marvelous.

This version of the game was bundled in with the purchase of The Raven Remastered, so I decided to give it a try. The story is a clever homage to Agatha Christie that gets a little convoluted towards the end. The locations are nicely rendered and the music is great. I thought the characters looked a little creepy at times. The puzzles at the beginning are logical and solvable, but tend to get frustrating towards the end of the game. I played with mouse and keyboard. I encountered many glitches involving disappearing characters and animations locked in a loop. Many forced me to restart from a previous saved game. Often the hotspot for a required object is some distance from the object itself. A puzzle towards the end of the game would not unlock until I entered the incorrect solution. I spent a good third of my time searching the discussion boards for fixes. None of these problems were encountered when I played the Remastered version. The Raven is a well crafted mystery that's worth solving. I highly recommend playing the Remastered version instead of this one. If you do decide to play this version, save your game often!
