Who is it for?
Fans of 90s action-RPGs chasing a nostalgic vibe will find moments of joy, but only if they’re willing to endure stability issues. Players seeking a polished, modern experience should look elsewhere.
Is GRAVEN worth it in 2026?
Hard to recommend as it stands: 54% of 1,519 Steam reviews are positive (player score 38/100). Most-praised strength: The retro-inspired graphics earn near-universal praise. Current price: 24,99€.
Verdict
Graven’s pixelated charm and sound design still shine through the chaos, yet the game’s technical instability and unfinished feel overshadow its strengths. Those who manage to stick with it beyond 25 hours may discover a diamond in the rough, but most will walk away disappointed.
