I was just about to announce the same. :P

Thanks!

Is there a review on this game ?
I have never heard of this game but it looks fantastic and I love a GOOD story.
Thank you

There are reviews of the original:

I enjoyed it very much. Was a bit glitchy/buggy at times but generally a good P&C adventure with above-par production values.

There are still the archived GOG reviews* for the original The Raven ­ Legacy of a Master Thief. As far as I understand it they remastered only the animations, lighting and hair. So story and sound are still the same as in the original. Information about those will still be relevant - comments on graphics, performance and bugs (if there were any) are obviously not that useful, though...
I still hope this helps. :)

[Edit:]
Added one link for easier browsing; left the text and the second link unedited to avoid confusion. Thanks to HunchBluntley for the workaround.

thanks for the free upgrade, i may play this again to see the changes

Nice, thanks Thom and THQ Nordic.

Since policies that prevented it the last time are no longer valid, any chance of the Deluxe Edition content getting to GOG this time around?

The original isn't available anymore?

Is it possible to have it as an extra for the remastered version?

"Note: Getting The Remastered edition also gives you the classic version as a bonus goodie."

Thanks @GOG and @THQNordic for doing it this way (still sad that this seems to be impossiblefor Darksiders II but I am happy that you do this everytime it's possible).

While I can't answer the question regarding the changes/improvements, for obvious reasons, I'd say play the original.

If they would have worked some of the technical flaws over, I would definitely recommend to download the new version, but re-download only for shinier graphics? Not worth the hassle.

And - unfortunately - it seems, the only improvements were made in the graphics department.
There are some issues, when it comes to steering, where improvements would have been more necessary, imo.

Thanks for the free upgrade. I stopped playing this game when the lights went out and almost the entire screen was filled by my character, obscuring everything by a terrible camera choice. I sincerely hope that is fixed now.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, it would be nice if the actual product page mentioned the fact that the "classic" version is included for free with purchase. I doubt everyone looking at the game is going to do a forum search before buying. ;P


It's the extra colon. You could replace it with the HTML code that represents the colon, but in this case, the solution is simpler: just delete the bit of the URL-within-a-URL before (or even up through) "www." and it should work:

Thank you for your help.
However, I'd still wish that replacements like these wouldn't need a workaround to begin with...

No, see, it fosters a sense of community when every simple little thing needs workarounds just to be able to use the workarounds! If everything worked like it should, we wouldn't get to have all these helpful chats! GOG's web devs are really very considerate and kind in their foresight.

...! XD
