Loco Motive is an enjoyable point & click adventure game that is, with few exceptions, very linear, and relies heavily on dialogue, but makes up for it with clever twists, excellent voice over, and charming humor. Story Lady Unterwald is dead! She was murdered on board of the Reuss Express, the heart of her train empire, just seconds before she intended to announce her new heir and successor. The main suspect is Arthur, her hapless lawyer and paperwork connoisseur, but as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that he's not the only suspect by far. The majority of the story is narrated in retrospect from the perspectives of Arthur and two other witnesses, who all, for one reason or another, got involved in the events. For the big finale, you all have to work together to find the real culprit. Gameplay Loco Motive has everything you'd expect from a p&c game nowadays, there's a hotspot viewer, a charming in-game hint system, and you can skip dialogue. You can walk or run either with A/D or by clicking/holding LMB. I loved the detail that when you take items out of your inventory, of combine items, there's a cute little animation how your character does that in-game, too. Some puzzles are triggered by dialogue, so it is better to listen to it, and on some occasions there's a bit too much of it, for me at least. But the voice-over is consistently excellent, and the dialogue is firmly tongue-in-cheek, so it did not bother me too much. The puzzles in general were a plus, the devs clearly tried to bring in some variety. Conclusion Loco Motive does not reinvent the wheel, but it is thoroughly entertaining and you can feel the love of the devs for this kind of game. If you want to spend 9+ hours with some lighthearted fun, this is a solid choice, and definitely with a discount or as part of a bundle.

Played Loco Motive with my wife on the sofa — plus our sidekicks, the Müsli Cat and the Sushi Dog — and we had an absolute blast. It’s a fantastic love letter to the 90s point-and-click era: charming writing, great humor, and puzzles that (mostly) make perfect sense. Aside from one or two odd ones, everything clicked beautifully. The characters are delightful, the art style nails that nostalgic feeling, and the pacing kept us both hooked till the end. If you grew up on LucasArts adventures, or just want a cozy evening mystery to solve together, Loco Motive is a 10/10 ride. 🚂💥

There were a couple of spots where I had no idea what to do, and the answer ended up feeling like, "oh, yeah, sure, I guess." And when I would use the built-in tip hotline, I had to get to the last hint to get any info on the part I was stuck on, which was the tiniest bit annoying. That being said, the vast majority of the experience was such a delight. I personally liked that the setting was contained within one spot (for most of the game) as it made the changes in the environment a lot easier to keep track of/notice. The full voice acting was very fun to listen to, even if one was difficult to listen to at times (HERRRRRMAN MERRRRRMAN). And it would be a disservice not to mention how nice it was to watch all of the sprites/animations. It was really nice to have a game that didn't require a ton of thinking, but was actively enjoyable the whole way through.

Best golden-age adventure I've played in years. YEARS. Detailed animation, spirited VA, and memorable characters with a hilarious script that punches with the heavyweight classics like Full Throttle and Zak McCracken...without the more esoteric puzzles. Absolutely worth whatever they're charging now. Buy it. Stop waffling. BUY IT

Impressions after an hour: Fantastic comedic murder mystery point-and-click set on a train, in the vein of Lucasarts with amazing animation. Full voice acting. The animation is quite impressive, and it gives me the vibes of The Last Express mixed with Monkey Island. The writing is really good so far, the humour is on point and not too obnoxious for an adventure game.
