Ravenlok Reviews
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.
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 delights in its straightforwardness. It’s not trying to be an epic triple-A adventure or a deeply meaningful tale of morality. Instead, it’s content to be a charming little gem that’s great for younger gamers or anyone just looking for some stress-free, relaxed gaming. Provided you understand what you’re jumping into, Ravenlok will be a pleasant and comfortable way to spend 3 or 4 hours hacking through a bunch of brain-dead foes and admiring the vibrant landscape.
With more refinement, Ravenlok could’ve been an interesting twist on a beloved tale. In its current state, though, it’s just simply okay.
Ravenlok is a charming fairytale voxel adventure game that features a decent variety of enemies and puzzles. Despite the lackluster storyline, it's a fairly short game that's worth playing with its simple combat mechanics easily accessible for everyone. Although Ravenlok might not appeal to players that prefer a challenge, this simple simple action-adventure title will certainly eat up your afternoon.
Beautiful, polished and painfully hollow. Ravenlok's bones are immaculate, but lack meat or connective tissue.
Ravenlok is incredibly endearing on the surface with its charming visual style and vibe. It’s just a shame that the underlying game never completely lives up to that charm factor. With combat that ends up tiresome and an underwhelming story, there’s always a feeling that the game is missing something.
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

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.

Ravenlok is one of those games to play and simply feel happiness, with a strong dose of comfort conveyed by its charm. It's not difficult, it doesn't last long and it doesn't try to "mellow" you with artificial things to last longer, it chooses to uncomplicate and make the journey its greatest asset. With a lovely story and immense charm, it strikes the balance of the overall experience and its focus on entertaining the player.

Ravenlok is a game full of surprises and felt incredibly satisfying to play, tapping into a genre I actually need a whole lot more of. Its lack of real combat strategy, button mashing and frustrating camera, as well as the speed you can blaze through with no returning hook do, unfortunately, limit the game’s potential. But what’s here with story, characters, setting, and style will, ultimately, make sure you have an enjoyable time while you’re playing.
A beautiful but rather hollow and one-note trip to a familiar world of wonder and misrule.
Ravenlok isn’t an enjoyable experience but not because it’s a bad game, more so it’s hard to want to invest your time into.
Ravenlok is a game with a predictive narrative and protagonist that is not as charismatic as the rest of the cast, but is a short and enjoyable experience with solid combat and a quite striking visual flair. The puzzles might be a little more intuitive but is a fun game you should play if you want something easy going.
