Ravenlok Reviews
Ravenlok is not for hardcore gamers that want to invest hundreds of hours into their games or who are looking for a challenge. It's a short, sweet, easy game that's perfect for sitting back and relaxing or as a good starter game for kids. It's totally at home on Xbox Game Pass and subscribers shouldn't miss their opportunity to check it out.
Beautiful, polished and painfully hollow. Ravenlok's bones are immaculate, but lack meat or connective tissue.
A beautiful but rather hollow and one-note trip to a familiar world of wonder and misrule.
If you have kids interested in things like fantasy storytelling and adventure games, but titles like the recent Legend of Zelda feel like too much for them, Ravenlok is an easy suggestion. And if you’re just looking for something breezy that’s visually enticing but not much of an investment otherwise, you can do a lot worse than this. It may be a little monotonous and unambitious, but the adventure is over well before it can overstay its welcome. Ravenlok feels like a nice piece of fluff that’s polished and genre-heavy enough to be fun, but won’t address any cravings for the next big game in your stack.
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.
For young players without any action RPG experience, Ravenlok could certainly serve as an introduction to the genre. The controls are simple and the environments are beautiful. The main character and narrative are straightforward and relatable. Experienced gamers might be put off by the intentional lack of depth in combat and movement, but even for them, this short game might be worth playing just for the art and imaginative characters and world.
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 possesses the blueprint for a fantastic series inspired by novels and fairy tales. If Cococucumber expands on the narrative experience and strengthens the combat system in their next outing, wonderful adventures await.
Ravenlok is a cute and short game where you play as a girl who stumbles into a magical world and finds out she's destined to save it. The combat is shallow but functional, and the game's charm is through its interwoven quests and gorgeous environments.
Ravenlok is a Zelda-inspired take on Alice in Wonderland with colourful characters and places to explore, thanks to its great presentation and simple but fun gameplay. It's a perfect game for any young children looking for a fun afternoon.
Ravenlok isn't deep or lengthy, but it's a brief, dreamy foray into the wonders of voxels. It may not last long, but it's a looking glass worth going through.
Through its picturesque presentation, Ravenlok definitely captures the reverie and spirit we'd expect from a coming-of-age fantasy. Sadly, the game's one-note combat doesn't offer a challenge worthy of its world, while the cliched story devalues its charming cast of misfit critters.
Ravenlok is not a bad game, but judged on its gameplay, it feels somewhat insubstantial. Those going into the game looking for an engaging and challenging action experience will likely be turned off by its simple and toothless combat and overreliance on fetch quests. That said, for younger gamers or those seeking a more straightforward adventure through a surreal world filled with memorable and strange characters, it's a decent time, and is worth checking out on those merits.
Ravenlok is a mesmerizing short adventure that takes us to a world inspired by Alice in Wonderland. The game is more appropriate for youngsters who won't bother with its lack of challenge and variety.

Ravenlok is a complete mess. combat becomes repetitive, story is incredibly disappointing and quest design is terrible. The only good thing about this game is its art design and if we put it aside, there is no reason for you to experience Ravenlok.

At just about five hours long, Ravenlok is an enjoyable title with simple gameplay design but stunning setting and voxel graphics.
Ravenlok isn't a bad game but it also doesn't do anything all that well with its repetitive and undemanding gameplay and constant backtracking. If you're looking for a game to lull you to sleep, though, then it'll definitely fit the bill.
Ravenlok was a beautiful delight and the perfect game for speedrunners, young players and those seeking a fun and charming game. Another thing I would like to note is that the music is breathtaking. Its niche is a delightful, accessible adventure. Ravenlok is a lovely addition that offers a brief yet thoroughly enjoyable escape into a fairytale world.
Ravenlok’s aesthetic design is truly impressive and makes it one of the prettiest games I’ve played this year. Sadly, the lack of challenge left me feeling like I fell down the rabbit hole of boredom. Although “Alice in Voxelland” may not be the thrilling adventure I was hoping for, it still gets a pass for its magical characters and breathtaking environments alone.
