TheSixthAxis: 7 / 10 by Dominic Leighton

Ravenbound is a striking Scandinavian fantasy, and one that's often a delight to experience. However, this particular open world can often feel too empty and lifeless, relying on a player's thorough involvement in its collection of gameplay ideas to stay engaged.

GamingBolt: 5 / 10 by Ravi Sinha

Ravenbound has the potential to be something good, if not great. However, it needs some serious overhauls and improvements to even start down that path.

Wccftech: 7.5 / 10 by Francesco De Meo

Ravenbound’s limited successes do not come from an abundance of new ideas, but combining or juxtaposing old ones. If Ravenbound was a full-price, triple-A game I’d be a lot less forgiving of its flaws. No matter the price, it’s still derivative, janky and in serious need of optimization and bug fixes. But at less than 30 bucks, it’s maybe worth a gamble for fans of open world RPGs and action roguelikes. Provided, that is, that they temper their expectations and can overlook the game’s sometimes messy mechanics and other shortcomings.
