Feb. 2025

I finished Loco Motive and I really liked it. The game had bright, colorful pixilated art and very good voice acting. The story was funny and engaging. I loved the crazy cast of characters on board the Reuss Express. The puzzles were logical for the most part and there were only a couple times I got stuck. If you do get stuck and want help, there is an in-game hint system via a telephone call line that will provide a nudge for various puzzles by topic. There is some character swapping in the later chapters where it doesn’t make sense that a character would know to switch items to someone in a different location. I noticed it, but by that time, I was so invested in the game that I didn’t dwell on that and kept going to see how things would end up. I ran into one dialogue glitch that froze the game at the end of chapter 3, but I was able to go back to an autosave and avoid the dialogue line and the game continued just fine. There is both an autosave and five manual save slots. I recommend manually saving and not relying only on the autosave as it doesn’t autosave on quitting the game. Not using the hints and getting stuck a couple times, gave me a play time of about 12.5 hours. This is one of those really good comedy point and clicks adventures and I recommend it to all that love these types of games.

As history shows, point-and-click adventures have gone out of mainstream fashion quite a while ago already. However, if you have any inclination towards this type of game, for the love of god, buy this game *right now* and get ready for one of the very best adventures of the last 20 years. Its humor is Monkey-Island-esque, pixel art is on point and the animations are simply top notch. It offers all proper modernization approaches you'd expect from a 2024 game of that genre. The vast majority of puzzles are logically sound, but it also offers a well-done hint system which integrates nicely into the main game, in case you get stuck. It's fully voiced in and the voice actors did their job exceptionally well. The fact that it's the developer's first game is simply amazing. I really hope this game sells well enough for the devs to continue their work and keep developing more games of this quality. Thumbs all the way up!

Nov. 2024

A true gem for point and click adventure lovers. From the art style to the story and voice acting, this game had me grinning from ear to ear and giggling at my desk. I am so happy I waited patiently for this! I highly recommend for fans of the genre - you won't be disappointed!

A perfect, gorgeous and very smart point & click adventure. It captures the feel of golden age classics but plays like a modern game, with a lot of personality. Dialogue is actually funny, which is a sort of miracle these days, and again the art is stunning. I hope it becomes a modern classic point & click game. If you came here looking for something with a Sierra and Lucas Arts sensibility, but contemporary like a Wadjet Eye game, or something like Thimbleweed Park or Kathy Rain, don't hesitate, just buy this. Just came back after finishing it to emphasize what a true gem this is, I can't think of a single reason not to recommend it.

Nov. 2024

An incredibly witty, funny and well voice acted game so far. Probably the best point and click adventure I've played since the old Monkey Island games. The voice acting is genuinely so good it makes me want to restart the game so I can hear all the lines I might have missed due to dialogue choices. The art and animation is some of the best pixel art I've seen in a game. It's also got the kind of quality of life features you'd want in every point and click; ability to skip dialogue, a button to highlight interactive elements in the environment, context-based option selection on different interactive elements, and the character actually gives you hints when you're trying to figure out what items are needed for what, which unlike in old school point and clicks, isn't obtuse, just mostly kinda funny, and a clever homage to the obtuse item use logic from the 90s and early 00s. An incredible game, especially as a studio's first title, cannot recommend it enough for fans of puzzle, point and click, and narrative games.
