Ravenlok (2023)

I said this above, but I feel like it bears repeating; Ravenlok feels like the culmination of all the work this team has done using voxel tech. It is a beautiful game, one that evokes images of various Disney/Pixer type worlds and just as vivid. Each of the worlds offer side quests and various characters to interact with that was all enjoyable. Aside from the easy combat I enjoyed my time with Ravenlok and if you are looking for a quick fantasy adventure, I can’t recommend it enough.

Good graphics don't make up for the rest of the game's issues.

At this point, we have in our hands a game that exudes charisma, style and a lot of passion, in Cococucumber they can boast and feel very proud of the work they have achieved. It is not easy to be an independent developer, get hundreds of proposals on the market and stand out from all of them, this is something that has been achieved.

Ravenlok won’t be to everyone’s liking, but it’s a thoroughly enjoyable experience when you’re looking for a palette cleanser in between so many of the other AAA RPGs in the market right now. Sometimes it’s nice to get away from a massive hundred hour epic adventure, and have a short jaunt with something fun and whimsical. Hardcore gamers will likely find its shallow gameplay lacking, but it’s the perfect game to introduce younger children to for their first fantasy adventure. Ravenlok won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but I was happy to partake in this tea party.

In short Ravenlok could have been an interesting product thanks to its graphical style, it completely patches however in some too important details for an action game such as combat, difficulty and duration. Therefore, we do not recommend buying the title at full price, however, it may be interesting to try it out thanks to Xbox Game Pass or buy it with some steep discounts
