![]() Yes, it’s beautiful and dreamlike, but it’s also just as disorganised and nonsensical as Alice’s growing brain - for better and for worse. Ravenlok shares more than just surface-level nods to that classic book, though. Alice’s two literary adventures in Wonderland (plus several other adaptations) have clearly influenced developer Cococucumber, from the outsized teapots, off-brand Queen Of Hearts, and fish-out-of-water-into-a-fairytale-world setup. ![]() Take one good look at Ravenlok and you’ll see Lewis Carroll’s fingerprints embed onto every voxel. It's also an Xbox Play Anywhere title, so you can buy it once and play it across both Xbox and PC.A beautiful but rather hollow and one-note trip to a familiar world of wonder and misrule. ![]() Ravenlok is now available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, and Xbox Cloud Gaming. I'm happy Cococucumber is finding success in Microsoft's value-driven subscription service, and I hope other fantastic indie developers see similar results. ![]() Game Pass means I can install Ravenlok, play it when I'm ready, and then buy it when I'm done if I really loved it (as I've done for countless games I finished thanks to Xbox Game Pass). ![]() If it weren't for Xbox Game Pass, though, there's a very good chance I would never play Ravenlok, simply because I don't have the time and money to buy every great game that looks interesting to me. I haven't played Ravenlok, yet, but I have it installed and I'm ready to experience the latest Cococucumber adventure as soon as I finish Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, The Last Case of Benedict Fox, and Deathloop (I have a lot of games to play, okay?). I'm a huge advocate for the continued success of indie games in the industry, because it's indie developers that continually push boundaries and innovate in video games. ![]()
