I found myself excited. I wanted to probe around and see what wonders the locale held, but every single time my curiosity was met with tedium and mediocrity.

I genuinely do think the potential for a good pirate game is in here, somewhere, but Raven's Cry is a mess of bugs, hazards, hiccups, oversights, and progression-halting crashes. If you never set foot on land, its ship-to-ship combat might be respectable,...

Trotz des Piraten-Settings, das für mich ein absolutes Kaufargument ist, schafft es Raven's Cry nicht darüber hinwegzutäuschen, dass es ganz und gar nicht den heutigen Anforderungen gerecht wird. Die Animationen sind schlecht, das Gameplay mies, die...

Se solo gli sviluppatori si fossero impegnati a dovere lanciando sul mercato un prodotto completo e rifinito, Raven's Cry avrebbe potuto aspirare alla sufficienza.Oltre ad essere contenutisticamente scialbo, dotato di una trama evanescente e di un...
