    What sets this game apart is such a captivating and detailed story that is intelligently written, well presented and delivered with light-hearted comical imagery (and occasional unacknowledged thievery). Although the ending did feel a tiny bit rushed, it was absolutely complete without leaving you wanting. Hands down, this a great game.

    Point-and-click games may not be as high-profile as they once were, but games like Willy Morgan show that they can still be fun, rewarding escapes. While some innovation may have given people more reason to grab this over older classics, those looking for a classic adventure experience should look no further.

    A really nice, sweet, entertaining game that, however, cannot tie in with the point and click milestones to which it alludes over and over again.

    Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town is a great adventure, worth playing for the fans of the genre, even though they will likely need just a few hours to reach to the end credits. We just hope that Willy's adventures will continue.

    I'm really sorry, but I think the developers should prepare themselves way better before trying to make a point and click game that adds upI'm really sorry, but I think the developers should prepare themselves way better before trying to make a point and click game that adds up something to the genre (which I loved for 25+ years). There are entire sections and even scenarios that are pretty much a ripoff from The Curse of Monkey Island. Puzles are unimaginative, dialogue feels vague and uninteresting, and honestly, it seems to be written by very, very young and amateurish people... Sorry, but having good taste for games and good intentions isn't enough to make something actually good by your own. I can see some players enjoying it. Sadfully, I'm not counting myself among those. Hopefully the next game will be better, but this one is really, really flat, nice art aside.… Full Review »

    The art of the game is quite nice, with beautiful locations.
    The story is simple and predictable, also the puzzles.
    Too short and simple.

    Getting to the point, it has a very beautiful art style and fun puzzles, the devs decided to approach level and game design on a horizontal scheme instead of vertical, meaning 90% of the map's areas are open throughout the game and you have to gather little pieces of a big puzzle in each location, which is an interesting idea and seems well executed.
    The story is predictable but not unenjoyable, the voice acting I found enjoyable (not very professional still) and overall the game feels refreshing, although it fails to root its story deep inside your heart and memories till the end of time, which, from a subjective standpoint of how I experienced the game, makes it inferior to other fantasy p&ca's like The Day of the Rabbit.    … Full Review »
