If, like me, you like a good crime thriller and missed The Raven the first time around, don’t let The Raven Remastered pass you by. It may not have truly next-gen visuals and the movement of constable Zellner may be a little clunky, but its captivating story, entertaining characters and rewarding point and click gameplay more than compensate for any shortcomings. The Raven Remastered is a good example of why ports and remasters are important in the right circumstances; they allow more gamers to lay their hands on quality titles that may have flown under their radar or that they simply didn’t h...

Another enthralling Poirot game has released! Oh wait, what happened to Poirot that he's degraded from master crime solver to constable... and was he always Swiss?!

A mustached detective, a train named the Orient Express, and a cast of colorful suspects – if you said the recent Murder on the Orient Express movie or an Agatha Christie whodunit that would be understandable. It certainly seems what THQ Nordic thought they were doing so with their old style point-and-click game called The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief. Originally released in 2013, the game has now been remastered and is called, unsurprisingly, The Raven Remastered.

Though technically flawed, The Raven Remastered is a leisurely and charming point and click adventure that fans of the genre will enjoy.

Overall, as a port to the Switch, the Raven Remastered is a great introduction to the mystery adventure genre. Minor graphical quirks and nasty-looking faces aside, this is a well-developed story with well-integrated gameplay.

There is a huge world that we, people living in the Americas, barely know or talk about when it comes to gaming: the world of European point and click adventures. We grew up playing games like Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, and even the more recent Telltale games and often talk about how there’s not a lot of variety in the genre, but that’s not true. Europe has been publishing slower-paced, more narrative-driven adventure games non-stop ever since the 90’s, and they still shove out a ton...

Set across 1960s Europe, The Raven Remastered is a fast-paced point-and-click "whodunit" adventure full of twists and turns that has players on the edge of their seats.

Updated graphics and a stellar mystery cannot save The Raven from its slow, frustrating gameplay. While not an unbearable experience, the overall package is brought down significantly by the mechanics.

The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief superficially resembles many a classic mystery, but doesn't have the intrigue or the soul.

3/10

It’s playable, but the game does have a lot of setbacks. The dialogue and sound are just horrible, or it might be plagued with bad mechanics.
