Graven is a quality addition to the FPS offering, it gives a fair challenge and will especially please fans of fantasy horror games and the dark ages.
Graven has enough puzzles, secrets, weapons, and spells to keep it engrossing and compelling throughout.
Graven is a difficult game that combines resource management with RPG-style adventure combat. You will fight hordes of undead enemies that force you to be creative and push your resources. It's a punishing game where lowering the difficulty might be a good idea, given how easy it is to get hurt or become lost. But if you fight past the frustration and get knocked around enough times, you can find a decent adventure that you are proud of completing.
Graven tries to swim against the market stream and offer something new, resembling games like Hexen and Heretic, but that’s pretty much all it does and eventually falls short in almost every other department.
Graven is an intriguing mix of genres, but it doesn't manage to express its full potential.
Graven had some problems during its early access periodo and sadly the 1.0 version doesn't solve all of them, nor does it make it a really compelling game.
It feels like there were some very specific ideas the creators of Graven wanted to communicate. But while those ideas sometimes weave together with the game’s dark fantasy, old-school shooter style to form some immaculate vibes, that’s about as deep as it gets. The game seems confused about whether or not it wants to be an awesome action game, a thoughtful explorative puzzler, or some kind of mutant Soulslike gimmick. It sputters across the finish line not really achieving anything but a cool look, undermined constantly by boredom. It’s a shame, because Graven has a hell of a vibe. But there’s simply too much bonkin’ and not enough bangin’.
