I imagine the developers wrote the script for this episode just as they went along, because the ending is so shocking and unexpected that it could have been topped only by a giant “F U” plastered across the screen.

A Murder of Ravens saves The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief from going down in flames, but its narrative repetition and technical defects make for a turbulent ride.

The atmosphere and mystery the developers were going for has been perfectly captured but the execution feels too haphazard. This most recent chapters feels almost like a throwaway after the ambition set forth at the beginning.

From my point of view the final episode is better than the second one but not as good as the first. The puzzles are still not a bit challenging but at least this time there's more to do compared to the disappointing second episode. Unfortunately often the main challenge is finding hotspot's in every screen (there aren't many), which can be a bit annoying. The story is okay but the ending feels a bit too constructed and the game doesn't really have a message. After all the third episode is decent but not as good as expected after a good start.

A fitting and satisfying end to the trilogy, that manages to keep in line with player expectations and doesn't suffer from some of the mechanical problems of the first two episodes.

The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief is a solid adventure that is at its best during the first three or four hours of play, then it loses its grip and dissipates the potential of all the beautiful characters it had introduced before.

A Murder of Ravens ends the story on a cheap note and doesn’t quite live up to the promise laid out in the opening, but it’s certainly more fun than the preceding chapter.

Chapter Three is ultimately a letdown all things considered, but as a whole, The Raven - Legacy of A Master Thief is still worth checking out if you enjoy point and click adventure games and a good "whodunit" style mystery.

It’s truly a great shame to see a title which showed promise go out in a whimper due to predictable writing and a myriad of glitches.

SummaryA Murder of Ravens primarily introduces the cool young tricksters and cat burglars (the Arab and the young woman). They are clever, likeable and want to outsmart the violent butler. Hope almost destroyed? Is their plan doomed to failure? How will this end? Another nice cliffhanger.
