The Raven Remastered for PC, PS4 and XONE is a new edition of the point-and-click adventure game The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief. It was developed by the creators of the original production, KING Art Games, and published by THQ Nordic.
Plot
The plot of The Raven Remastered starts in 1964, when an ancient ruby is stolen from the British Museum. A black feather is found at the crime scene, suggesting that the thief is the famous burglar known as the Raven. One of the game's three protagonist, Constable Anton Jakob Zeller sets out to solve the mystery and arrest the criminal. The task is made no easier by the fact that the constable is rather inexperienced in this type of investigation and knows similar cases only from crime novels.
Mechanics
The gameplay of The Raven Remastered focuses on solving puzzles, in which you have to use objects in the right way, although you also have to play logic minigames and talk to NPCs (who often can give you useful information and hints). You get to explore varied locations — the adventure starts in the Orient Express and takes you to a museum in Cairo and aboard the MS Lydia later on.
Technical aspects
The Raven Remastered features vastly improved visuals, especially animations and character models, as well as an upgraded lighting system and better interface.

Overall, the riveting plot of The Raven will keep you hooked right to the very end if you can look past the strange character models and don't mind spending more time reading and listening than actually playing.
Push Square: 7 / 10 by Gabriella Petty
For newcomers to the mystery genre, The Raven Remastered is a fantastic game to whet your appetite. It'll take around 12 hours to complete - more if you want to be thorough and sit through its lengthy dialogue options. It comes bundled with a well-crafted story, delightfully bizarre characters to interact with, and just the right amount of puzzle solving to keep you satiated, though it's not the prettiest of games to endure. Its faithful marriage to 1960s crime dramas is apparent, and we had fun unravelling its mysteries from start to finish, twists 'n' turns alike.
PSX Extreme: 5 / 10 by Pedro Rodriguez
If you fancy a good mystery, maybe The Raven Remastered is the right game for you. But if it's a saucy story you're looking for, look elsewhere. Although it sounds like a pretty tasty tale to dig into, The Raven Remastered will leave you with more questions than answers.
