The Raven Remastered

I liked chapter 1 and 2 but 3 was just full of pixel hunting, which ruins most of the game experience for me. Also, there were a few minigames/moves that were not intuitive. There also seemed to be some plot holes and missing plot points. At some parts, the game allowed you to play step 3 of a series of steps before you have completed step 2, which was frustrating to say the least.

This isn't so much a mystery game, but a point and click adventure SET in a mystery visual novel- but it's not only a pretty good PnC, and it's an exceptional narrative. With that being said, it's also a game that as you go further along, it starts to fall apart like a moving train being taken apart by magnets. It's logic ranges from grounded, to shooting off to the moon. The mystery is fun, and is full of twists and turns (reminding me a lot of the Knives Out series), but the satisfyingly fun and engaging pace of the story makes way to huge inconsistencies (like the KO series). This game hits so many mystery locals, from museums in Egyptian port towns, small passenger ships sailing over seas, and express railroads filled with murderers and pickpockets. There's even a locked door murder element! It has everything, including a plucky under-class investigator who the higher ups don't want around. But again, there's a bad side. I'm not sure if it's the Remaster or in the original as well, but this game hits some major bugs by the end; graphical and structural. I had some ridiculous moments with a fire hose and hooks, the game clearly unable to process something, and had objects I needed being hidden behind poor controller functionality (that forces mouse use), items dropping from existences, and other issues that caused me to reload a previous save (and there's only like 8 slots). The pacing is a mess, but the game does interesting things that I can't fault it for. The ending, while enjoyable, doesn't make a TON of sense, and is explained rather quickly. So, as you can see- it sounds like I'm on middle ground; but I'm not. This game is a gem, despite the hurdles towards the end. Great narrative that literally had me surprised by revealing some of my gut instincts I threw away were right, and showing me possibilities that I would've never thought of. This is the gaming equivalent to the movie Maverick- pretty fun and engaging, but boy is it ever so stupid at points.
