THE best collectors edition I have ever played. The aesthetic in this game is what every one should have stayed as, ITS SO GOOD! Only problem is the excessive crashing, I think the game just does not work well on older devices. oh well..
I have always loved the mystery case files games would recommend to anyone who likes point and click games the story lines are very interesting!
I have loved the Ravenhearst series since I first played the games in the early '00s. The Rube Goldberg-esque master puzzles are fascinating and engaging and break up the common seek and find standard areas. The ambiance and world-building is grounded in reality with just enough fantastical elements to engage those who love some good fantasy/magic in with their historical fiction. The story line is way more engaging and better written than a lot of others I've played, too.

Escape from Ravenhearst is one of the last Mystery Case Files games Big Fish Studios worked on. And while I REALLY wanted to be a fan of this game, it's simply not worth it. Pros: The game has some beautiful atmosphere—some of the best of the original Big Fish series. While it's not perfect, the game tries to expand on the Ravenhearst story and tie up loose ends in the series. Cons: Traversing in this game is a slog; there are sections that require frequent backtracking across many areas, requiring you to click many times just to get to a location you've been to eight times already. The game has issues with crashing. I played this game on my Steam Deck through Proton and had many issues with the game freezing and crashing. The morphing objects. This game throws out the traditional hidden object scenes for morphing objects, and to be honest, it does not really work that well. Overall, if you are a fan of this series and want to finish off the Big Fish MCF era, play this game. Otherwise, steer clear of it—ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE ON A WINDOWS PC, AS THE GAME REFUSES TO START ON WINDOWS 10/11.
This is the game where Mystery Case Files officially jumps the shark and loses the plot. There are no hidden object sequences, instead the game introduces morphing objects - which are much less fun to search for. Additionally, the game is ridiculous and very dark and the atmosphere I enjoyed in the old games (great music, good artwork), is lost here as I have to mute the volume in some places (I don't love hearing children abused and childbirth while I'm trying to solve a puzzle). Not fun, pretty grotesque, and a disappointing game in the franchise after the wonderful 13th skull. I wish the Ravenhearst trilogy ended here, but unfortunately, there are plenty more in the MCF franchise.
Les points positifs : - Le jeu est très beau - L'histoire suit la trame de ses prédécesseurs - Le jeu devient vraiment de plus en plus glauque. C'est rare des jeux qui osent à ce point ! - Le jeu laisse la possibilité de skip certaines énigmes (Surtout qu'il y a certains types d'énigmes qui, vraiment personnellement, me saoulent à un point que je n'ai pas envie d'y passer des heures à rager parce que c'est juste pas mon truc) - J'ai bien aimé ce nouveau gameplay par rapport à ses prédécesseurs, bien que j'aurai préféré un mélange de l'ancien et du nouveau. Les points négatifs : - Le jeu est assez court (je suis un peu de mauvaise fois parce qu'il y a certaines énigmes que j'ai passée pour éviter de ragequit le jeu, à défaut d'y passer des heures pour chaque mais quand même, 5.1h, c'est court comparé à ses prédécesseurs qui avaient, en plus, un timer imposé !) - L'absence de musique. Comparé à "Return To Ravenhearst" dont la BO était incroyable, la musique est inexistante (sauf à la toute fin, lors des ultimes énigmes, je le reconnais) - Le jeu bugue de ouf : > Le jeu se bloque très souvent après une mini-cinématique ou un changement d'écran (impossible de se déplacer ou d'ouvrir un quelconque menu, obligeant à redémarrer le jeu par CTRL+ALT+SUPP) > Ecran complètement rouge aléatoire après un changement d'écran (ouvrir/fermer le journal de note ou le menu résoud le problème) - Certaines logiques d'utilisation des objets d'inventaire sont vraiment tirés par les cheveux - Comme la plupart des jeux de la série des Mystery Case File, Il n'est pas traduit en français sur STEAM alors que j'y ai joué il y a 20 ans en français (même les voix étaient doublées en français !). Je ne comprends pas pourquoi ces versions FR ne sont pas implémentées sur Steam. Seul 1 jeu de TOUTE la série a un DLC qui traduit le jeu en français (et c'est l'un des tout premiers jeux qui date des années 2000, ce qui est encore plus incompréhensible) Bref : Reste fun pour l'ambiance mais à jouer uniquement pour suivre l'histoire du manoir Ravenhearst, et à condition de comprendre l'anglais et ses subtilités. En espérant que le suivant corrige ces défauts.
Game is meh at best. Why they decided to change how finding objects works, I'll never know. Progressing through this is a slog and I have 50 clues that don't help in any form or fashion. Got stuck looking for a way to progress after I messed up the lighthouse, and it feels like there's no clear way forward with anything I have in my inventory. There's no 'ah hah' to it, and it just feels like I'm wandering around aimlessly trying to figure out what the hell I need this water filled bucket, shovel, rag that I already used once, and a magnifying glass. I don't want to look up a guide because that would spoil what is supposed to be fun, but I literally don't have a reason to use anything I currently have, and there's no clear direction of where I should go. Return to Ravenhearst was great, and I enjoyed it thoroughly, but this just sucks. Upon further research most of my issues running around trying to use items and them not doing anything is attributed to the fact the game is riddled with glitches, so either way it's still a crappy successor.
Great puzzles and dark atmosphere, very resident evil esque but in point-and-click adventure style.
It's a great game with some absolutely disgusting, stomach turning and horrible details and puzzles but... the game soft locks and freezes up so frequently in the 4th act, it's barely playable.
About the story. Comparing to the previous Ravenhearst games this felt like someone's unresolved parental issues. Not optimized for modern software, runs poorly on modern windows and kept crashing. Had fun, was entertaining but issues overwhelm the experience
