Loco Motive

超级可爱的像素小动画解密游戏！喜欢喜欢，人物灵活度和潜水员戴夫有的一拼，整个游戏相比悬疑更接近于解密，大部分时候需要思考道具A和道具B合成用在某一个地方这样点击类的玩法，整体流程不是很长遇到不会的地方可以打电话提示（以为彼休是个虚头八脑的人物没想到人家是真的有硬实力的人啊！！谢谢你彼休） 整个风格都带着满满的幽默感，我个人很喜欢这种很严肃的氛围下无厘头的表现方式（比如为什么解密游戏里主角身上哪能拿这么东西，游戏里用很夸张的手法展现出主角把自己的裤兜拉的非常大然后塞下一个大物件，真的很可爱）赫尔曼棒苏珊开嗓子讲绕口令也很厉害（配音人员辛苦了）里面的人物配音像是看戏剧一样抑扬顿挫很富有感情，在一些关键节点还会带一些人物自己的吐槽让整个以为很严肃的故事充满了诙谐的气氛。 人物CG我很喜欢，阿瑟肉肉的下巴每次给特写都能让我笑出来，而且阿瑟律师的梦想是穿着工服当文员在办公室处理上万的文档！（好反常人的梦想[spoiler] 甚至结局还实现里这个梦想！ [/spoiler]）可惜戴安娜的CG没有更多描述，为了可以出外勤而不想当文员正好和阿瑟相反wwww，虽然人物刻画并没有什么过于有特色的地方但是整体玩下来就是很搞笑很开心，甚至人物你一直对话会有不同回应直到对方烦了为止。 全成就党需要注意下记得多多节点保存，因为游戏内部过关后不能选择关卡可能会错过很多成就，一周目没完成就要开二周目了！成就难度倒是不难但是很容易忽视！ 如果想体验硬核推理那这个游戏还差点意思，剧情上并不是很复杂，但如果想体验解密用道具的快乐请务必尝试下！

Art is a 9, characters and writing are a 5. I don't like any of the characters or find myself laughing/smiling at the writing. The puzzles are ok, but I'm also leaning on the hint system to just get me through the game. I can only recommend it to people really desperate for a LucasArts-style point and click.

I was pleasantly surprised through the entire thing. Even though Ron Gilbert is still very much alive, I'm glad to see the spirit he had while making Monkey Island is present in the Riches Brothers. Thank you for keeping the goofy point and click adventure genre alive and well!

beautifully executed and humorous, but I couldn't connect to it emotionally

Loco Motive — это приключенческая игра в жанре point-and-click. Действие происходит в 1930-х годах на борту поезда, где игроку предстоит расследовать загадочную смерть богатой леди Унтервальд. Игра рассказывает историю с точки зрения трёх разных персонажей: - Артур Акерман — адвокат, который ищет завещание леди Унтервальд; - Герман Мерман — писатель и детектив, чьи пронзительные крики «Нет!» и «Это не работает!» сопровождают каждую неудачную попытку разгадки; - Диана Остерхаген — секретный налоговый агент, которая отправляется на своё первое задание. Задания требуют логики и внимательности: иногда решение может быть неочевидным, но в большинстве случаев оно кажется разумным, хотя и немного изощрённым. Графика выполнена в стиле пиксель-арта. Окружение детально прорисовано, а персонажи хорошо анимированы: даже второстепенные герои выглядят живыми. Саундтрек соответствует атмосфере 1930-х годов. Достоинства: - уютная атмосфера 1930-х годов с характерными костюмами и саундтреком; - хороший юмор и интригующая завязка; - геймплей классического квеста с диалогами, инвентарём и комбинацией предметов; - удобные современные «фишки» вроде подсвечивания интерактивных объектов и системы подсказок; - проработанные персонажи с уникальными чертами. Недостатки: - некоторые загадки могут быть слишком сложными без подсказки; - отсутствие списка текущих задач в меню, что иногда приводит к потере ориентира в игре; - в некоторых случаях решения головоломок могут казаться произвольными или неочевидными; - игра не переведена на русский язык. Loco Motive можно похвалить за атмосферу, визуальную и звуковую составляющую, а также за отсылки к классике жанра. В целом игра удачный пример возрождения жанра классических квестов, сочетающим ностальгию и современные удобства.

Not really, no

So unfortunate title... I'll just say it out. Overall, I didn't like the game virtually at all. Teaser movie of this title is awesome and got me intrigued. There are indeed good and fun parts in the game, but this teaser, well here comes something you might have guessed. It takes a big bunch of the good stuff and bundles it in. Teaser honestly shows gameplay footage to the last 10mins of the game, seriously. And it wraps the best parts in one minute clip. Yeah that ain't good. Graphics and animations and art style is very good. Zero issues there. Music was ok too. Now voice acting was mostly awesome. However then like one of the main protagonists Herman... God awful and annoying. And here we got to the really bad parts of the game. Many of the characters are just there with good voice acting, but then like Herman. When character starts the very purposely made so-to-say comical and rhetorical "I'm the greatest detective ever" loud mouthing, game might give a small smirk. However when it goes balls to the walls and character honestly says something like this about 1000 times in the game. No it seriously isn't funny in the slightest. Quite the opposite and character is over acted every single second of the game. Then there's like twins that argue. They only argue on every scene. That's the gist of them. Then the plot and setting. It's quite bizarre. It's like there's effort to make background into, unfortunately, the annoying Herman character and there's like quite weird scene where you play Herman's background story of writing and that reflects like minute of gameplay and two very short item related "puzzles" in the train where most of the game happens. Then there's agent and her background isn't opened virtually at all, one of the actually interesting and better written characters. Game obviously takes references from old classics, but even then some of the references are weirdly off. There's like two second stealing of Full Throttle's theme music by Gone Jackals, kinda played lazily off note and and there's motorcycle. It's like 100% clear it is reference to Full Throttle, but during that I was like "Hmmm... that was it?" It's just simply off in some weird way. Then there's like almost two chapters lending from Day of the Tentacles portapotty idea. One chapter steals the idea 100% and relies only on that. But it continues on next chapter and relies on the same mechanic for some reason and much of its duration? Like mentioned in the beginning. Very unfortunate title. There's quite a lot of things that show so much promise, but then like simply plot and writing just ruins it. With good writing, it could've been new legendary 'Monkey Island', but with this level of writing. It's generic 6/10 and pass from me. Ie Thimbleweed Park makes the references absurdly much better and funny compared to this one. It kinda oozes that there were ideas, but they needed to be implemented and something needed to be mixed into to prolong experience. That something is what is missing and is the generic boring filler imho. Technical expertise is there, but humor isn't and it's bad for "humorous" game. But this _REALLY_ didn't click for me.

Love love love the vibes of the game. It builds a wonderful atmosphere and you really end up rooting for the cast. My one recommendation (GUYS SPRINTING EXISTS DON'T BE STUPID LIKE I WAS. I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THERE AND WALKED THOUGH ALL OF THE CABINS)

Funny little game, interesting detective story and characters with fun sense of humor, pretty visuals and excepcional voice acting. Easy Recommend

8-8.5/10，感觉很标准的欢乐点击冒险游戏，谜题不算多（而且都是剧情谜题，没有机制谜题），有的少数几个确实比较抽象跳脱，但大部分都还算好，而且也有很融入主题的提示可以用。主要还是讲了一个有点意思的故事，其中塞的搞笑戏份感觉正好，标准美式幽默，对的上胃口。 配音音效美术动画细节都很到位也很精美，可以说配音和动画美术细节给整个游戏提分了很多，配音特别恰当合适，每个人物符合人设的抑扬顿挫拿捏非常到位，完全给玩家带入进去了，而且配音覆盖了全程。各种动画真的拉满了，每个人物待机、拿取道具和行动基本99%都有精美的动画，真的做得很用心，感觉这方面下了很大功夫。 整个故事从头到尾有始有终串起来了这一点很好，各种道具人物一直callback反复出场发挥作用，最后的三人组机制也挺有意思的。 另外本地化做得很好，基本挑不出什么大毛病，各种梗也试图本地化了，在现在这个时代还挺难得了吧，感谢汉化组。但有几个地方我是没有get到翻译的意图，比如为什么Dirk翻译为彼修？完全没get到。 不知道这个销量还有续作没，但是还是有点期待的，玩下来能感受到制作组的功力，希望有续作吧。
