  That's probably a good way to sum up The Raven Remastered: serviceable but underwhelming. The title shows plenty of promise with its characters and story, but the sluggish gameplay, questionable acting, and mediocre audiovisual presentation drag it down. Mystery fans and avid Christie book readers will find something to like with The Raven's narrative, but the rougher edges make it a tough experience to recommend to all but the most dedicated and patient of players.

  Best of all, The Raven Remastered isn’t the only remastered classic game that Nordic Games will publish this year for Nintendo Switch. In just a couple of days you can expect to see the Switch version of Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, and, not too long after that, also KING Art’s fantasy masterpiece The Book of Unwritten Tales 2. Judging by all this, it seems that this will be a great year for all Nintendo Switch gamers.

  The Raven Remastered isn’t jam packed with adrenaline or excitement, and it could have received a bit more love in the gameplay department, but if you’re into heist stories and mysteries, you could do a lot worse. This is the most Agatha Christie game I have ever played in my life, so if you’re a fan of the writer, and I know there are millions out there, this is a must for you.

  I want to say that The Raven: Remastered is worth playing for its story alone. However, the package around the tale is such a turn off that I cannot fully do so. Most of the experience is awkwardly stumbling through the world and sitting in loading screens, a burden I would wish on no one. If you can put up with this and want a good detective tale, The Raven is an alright choice for you. Otherwise, you’re better off leaving this mystery unsolved.

  I’m so glad I didn’t rely upon first impressions, because like Constable Zellner, the game is deeper than it looks and has a story that will keep players guessing. I couldn’t ask for much more in a great whodunnit.

  The Raven Remastered isn’t a bad game. Besides its sub-par control mechanics and linear feel, the game actually has a compelling story with interesting characters. It’s no Sherlock Holmes, but it does have its good points and may well appeal to fans of such games as Black Mirror.
