Puzzles include tiles, logic, inventory, connect the wires without crossing any, and finding clues strewn about that if you miss you won't know what to do. The HOS are on the challenging side, much harder than standard fare games. Live actors are used, and there are no cutscenes to sit through. There's no task list but the game does use a journal that keep notes for you. There's no jump map so there is B&F, and it is a pretty big game, much bigger than, say, Phantasmat.
There are enough HO scenes to make it a HO game, but if you enjoy HO I think it's the right amount. There's no 'Maybe I should move this' or even 'I wonder what fits into this space.' It also isn't like a lot of the newer HOPAs are, when EVERYTHING you can see is interactive, missing a piece, and the entire game is a chore of finding missing pieces in ridiculous obscure places.' Everything sparkles but the game definitely does not hold your hand. It's an older game so you aren't given Difficulty options. The story can be fuzzy at times, but when isn't it, right?īut it is an excellent looking and sounding game. I played it 8 years ago as my first HOPA entry, and just played it again last week, and it was the same thrill. It's an old game now but you wouldn't guess it! IMO this game is THE level which all following games hope (HOPE) to aspire.

A point-and-click adventure is just what this series needs for a refresh and an improvement over previous games. While this is true for basically all MCF games, the change of pace here makes it more vulnerable.Įither way, I highly recommend this to both new and seasoned MCF players. Since the game relies more on puzzles than finding hidden objects, players who plan to repeat the game may no longer be challenged by the puzzles offered by the game. However, as what I've observed in my gameplay, replayability may suffer.
? The live-action acting is commendable given it is a first in the series ? The visuals are impressive, accompanied by atmospheric environmental effects No longer are you confined to one-by-one investigations, now you play the game at your own pace and your own way. Gone are the days of investigating individuals (and finding diary entries, for 'Ravenhearst') and here begins a period of self-paced gameplay. The series underwent a substantial and welcome change starting with this game, incorporating point-and-click navigation and a better emphasis on puzzles as a whole while still preserving the hidden object aspect we all know and love. A leap forward for Mystery Case Files 'Return to Ravenhearst' is the fifth installment of the hidden object and puzzle video game series 'Mystery Case Files' where you - the detective - are called upon by the Queen of England yet again to investigate the mysterious Ravenhearst Manor in Blackpool, England directly after the events of the previous game 'Madame Fate'.
