The Raven Remastered

Brilliant game. Very nice story, high quality animation, map design, soundtrack and real voice acting. Really recommend this for all point & click lovers. Encountered a couple of annoying bugs but the rest 99% is pure gold.

Sehr unterhaltsames Spiel, aber leider ziemlich verbugt und nicht fertig entwickelt. Manche Fehler nerven wirklich... Schade

Enigmes assez logiques, quelques bugs, mais dans l'ensemble j'ai passé un bon moment.

good

good steady plot

Schade nicht mal beim Remastered, haben Sie es bugfrei hinbekommen! Das einzig bessere ist die Wegfindung, von Raum zu Raum zum Teil. Eigentlich eine Schöne Geschichte! Zumindest konnte man den Wachtmeister bis zu Ende spielen. Bis dahin wusste ich ja nicht das eine Diebesgeschichte noch anschießt. In der man in der deutschen - Version leider ab dem Punkt wo der Dieb aus dem Zugfenster steigt. Nicht mehr weiter spielen kann, da er wohl vom Zug gefallen ist. Da er dann nicht mehr da ist nur das doofe Handtuch hängt am Zugfenster. Naja, falls Sie es noch Hinbekommen vielleicht Remastered 2 oder so, dann mach ich, nach beenden des Spiels ein Daumen hoch, so geht es leider nicht! Wenn sich was ändert, und ich das mitbekommen, und das Spiel zu Ende spiele, gibt es ein Daumen hoch, aber nur dann!

Сразу хочу отметить, что с игрой столкнулся впервые. То есть играл только в ремастер, и могу сказать что игра безбожно устарела. Есть квесты которым это простительно, та же Сибирь все ещё играется отлично. Но вот здесь не помогли текстуры, вернее помогли не дропнуть её до финала. Касательно самой игры - в целом неплохое повествование на разок, но анимации перехода из локации в локацию очень утомляют, хорошо хоть диалоги можно скипать. Игру могу рекомендовать только в случае скидок и если вы не прожженный геймер по части квестов, тут вас никто ничем не удивит

The Raven Remastered is a deliberately old-fashioned point-and-click adventure that builds its appeal around classic detective fiction, carefully staged conversations, suspicious characters, and an elaborate international mystery. Developed by KING Art and published by THQ Nordic, it is a graphical remaster of The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief, preserving the original adventure while improving elements such as animations, lighting, character hair, and overall presentation in full HD. Rather than turning the experience into something fundamentally different, the remaster concentrates on making the existing mystery more visually presentable while retaining its slower, story-focused design. Set in 1964, the story begins with the theft of an ancient ruby from the British Museum. A raven feather is discovered at the crime scene, immediately raising questions about whether someone is attempting to imitate the Raven, an infamous master thief who supposedly vanished years earlier. This provides a suitably intriguing foundation because the mystery is not merely about recovering stolen property. The possibility that the legendary criminal has somehow returned, or that another person has adopted his identity, creates uncertainty that follows the investigation throughout the adventure. Constable Anton Jakob Zellner becomes one of the game's most important strengths. Instead of portraying its central investigator as an impossibly brilliant detective, KING Art presents Zellner as an enthusiastic policeman fascinated by the crime novels he has spent years reading. He suddenly finds himself involved in exactly the kind of elaborate case he previously experienced only through fiction. His combination of curiosity, determination, and relative ordinariness makes him an approachable protagonist. The player effectively investigates alongside someone who is just as fascinated by the mystery as they are, making his enthusiasm an effective bridge between the audience and the story. The narrative also benefits from allowing events to be experienced through multiple characters. Changing perspectives gives the mystery additional dimensions because information can take on a different meaning depending on who is observing an event. The structure encourages suspicion and reconsideration rather than presenting every revelation as an unquestionable fact. Almost everyone appears capable of hiding something, while the Raven continually seems to remain ahead of those attempting to uncover the truth. This gives the plot the theatrical quality of a traditional whodunit, where motives and identities matter as much as physical evidence. Its locations are particularly well chosen for this style of storytelling. The adventure travels through environments such as a train crossing the Swiss Alps, a luxurious cruise ship, and the Cairo Museum. These are not simply attractive backdrops. Confined spaces such as trains and ships are ideal environments for detective stories because they bring a collection of distinctive personalities together and naturally encourage suspicion. Moving between different locations also gives the story an appropriately international scope without sacrificing its intimate focus on characters and clues. Gameplay remains rooted firmly in point-and-click adventure traditions. Players explore environments, inspect objects, gather information, speak with characters, locate useful items, and solve puzzles that gradually open new portions of the investigation. This methodical structure works well with the detective theme because progress often comes from paying attention rather than demonstrating quick reflexes. Examining apparently insignificant details and determining how objects or information fit together can produce satisfying moments of discovery. The same traditional design can also become one of the game's weaknesses. Movement and interaction sometimes feel more cumbersome than in newer narrative adventures, while certain puzzles depend heavily on understanding the particular solution the designers expect. Searching an environment repeatedly because one interaction has been overlooked can slow the narrative considerably. Players who prefer rapid progression may find these sections frustrating, but fans of older adventure games are more likely to appreciate the deliberate pace and emphasis on thorough exploration. Presentation is where the remastered edition makes its most obvious improvements. Enhanced lighting gives many interiors additional atmosphere, while upgraded animations, hair rendering, and full-HD visuals make the experience cleaner than the original release. The underlying technology and character animation can still reveal the game's age, so it should not be mistaken for a ground-up remake. Nevertheless, the enhancements complement the mystery effectively, particularly because so much time is spent examining environments and watching characters interact. Voice acting is another significant component. The game features a sizable collection of eccentric personalities, and extensive conversations mean their performances are essential to maintaining interest. The characters fit comfortably within the traditions of classic detective fiction, where unusual behavior and distinctive personalities constantly encourage the audience to question who can be trusted. The dialogue-driven structure gives the cast plenty of opportunities to establish motives, relationships, and possible secrets. The atmosphere ultimately carries The Raven Remastered through many of its rougher mechanical moments. It understands the pleasure of entering a compartment, cabin, or museum room and wondering whether something important has been overlooked. Music, environmental design, dialogue, and carefully controlled revelations combine to create the sensation of participating in an interactive crime novel. The mystery is more concerned with steadily developing intrigue than delivering constant action, which makes patience an important requirement. The Steam release also includes single-player support, achievements, Steam Cloud functionality, and several supported languages. Its Deluxe Edition provides additional material including the soundtrack, character background information, a making-of booklet, printable posters, and a printable Raven mask. These extras are secondary to the main adventure but reinforce the sense that the remaster is intended as a more complete presentation of KING Art's detective story. The Raven Remastered is therefore easiest to recommend to players who enjoy traditional point-and-click adventures, character-driven mysteries, and stories inspired by classic European crime fiction. Its aging mechanics, occasionally awkward interactions, and measured pacing prevent it from feeling entirely modern, but those shortcomings do not erase the strength of its premise or atmosphere. The multiple perspectives, memorable locations, extensive voice acting, distinctive protagonist, and central mystery give the adventure considerable personality. As a remaster, it improves presentation without unnecessarily changing what made the original distinctive, resulting in a charming and occasionally flawed detective experience that rewards players willing to investigate at its chosen pace. Rating: 8/10
