Lone McLonegan : A Western Adventure

I am usually pretty good at the point and click games but this one I need a hint for almost each step. Also Lone walks soooo slow

Its impressive for being made by only two people but I think I'd only recommend it if your a big fan of point and clicks. Even though overall I enjoyed my time, it was actually pretty frustrating at times. Pros - Good story and funny dialog - Graphics were pleasant enough - Good sound track - Solid performance - Bug free. - Built in hot-spot reveal tool - Built in hint system (and you will probably need it.) Cons - I wasn't a big fan of the UI/UX. Right clicking through all of the interaction verbs becomes tedious very quickly and you inevitably accidentally overshoot and have to cycle through them again. The inventory system although perfectly functional is not very optimal for the amount of items that you will pick up. Note apart from a few exceptions the game does not throw things away that you no longer need so the list can get very big. - The conversation system is annoying in that a lot of the time it kicks you out after choosing one of the options and you have to interact with the character again to explore the other options. - The puzzle design wasn't necessarily logically difficult but it was arguably very tricky in the implementation. Here are some examples Quite a few times the solution to advance the game/puzzle was buried inside the less obvious conversation choice. e.g. it might look like choosing the option will exit the conversation or cancel the puzzle. This is made more of a nuisance due to the conversation system closing after choosing an option. Sometimes the solution to advance the game/puzzle was simply repeating the same action multiple times in quick succession. Sometimes the solution to advance the game/puzzle was to talk to characters again but a lot of the time the dialog options for characters changed when you don't expect them to and equally don't change when you actually do expect them to. So you end up just having to keep talking to characters randomly. There is a part of the game where your just passing items back and forth between the different characters in a chain and it has absolutely nothing to do with advancing the main plot of the game. Its purely for getting an achievement.

I like point and click games, but this one doesn't make the grade. It's just dull, and the user interface is too clunky.

I really enjoyed this game. The art style was creative and the story was great. Some of the puzzles were a bit out there. While I appreciate a challenge, some of the puzzles were just way too outlandish. I did enjoy the game and wouldn't mind seeing a possible sequel.

Una aventura gráfica hecha con mucho cariño y buscando ser como aquellos títulos de la era dorada del género. Lone Mclonegan nos sitúa en el Oeste, donde el protagonista se ha visto relegado al segundo puesto como mejor forajido. ¿Su misión? Embarcarse en los más estrambólicos escenarios paraderrocar a su némesis, cargado siempre de muchísimo humor.

O jogo até é bom,mas precisa de algumas melhorias. Geralmente nesses jogos, assim que um item é usado e não é mais necessário, ele é removido do inventário, mas nesse jogo isso não acontece. Em alguns momentos, eu tive uns 30 itens no inventário e, como o jogo tem vários locais, acaba ficando chato testar tudo em todos os hotspots.

Lone McLonegan is a fun indie western adventure game with references to classic LucasArts adventure games. The graphics are colorful and reminiscent of a picture book, only more surreal. The graphic style is cool and the music is atmospheric. The puzzles are challenging, but luckily there is a hint system to help the players if they get stuck in the game. I can only recommend kicking a lot of objects in the game and taking a closer look at the items in the inventory. The strengths of the game are the eponymous main character and the humor. Lone is a well-educated outlaw who wants to become the most wanted outlaw in the Wild West again, after his rival Bragg Badass took away his rank. What I find less good about this game is Lone's rival Bragg Badass. He shows little personality and is... just a bad guy and wants to be the most wanted outlaw in the Wild West. The ending of the game [spoiler] was fun, but you can't expect too much of a showdown here, like in The Secret of Monkey Island.[/spoiler] The bandits of Bragg Badass are hardly seen in this game. Also, some puzzles seem way too complex and sometimes confusing. Fortunately you still have the hint system which is helpful. One puzzle is just illogical: [spoiler]In the secret room of the Saloon, you have to pick up the pink rubber glove and then choose any place on the map where our hero should go. Otherwise, Lone will be asked to put the rubber glove back where it was. [/spoiler] Nevertheless, I recommend playing Lone McLonegan if you like tricky puzzles and a cool western hero with a sense of humor. I enjoyed playing Lone McLonegan.

Lone McLonegan termina quedando al límite de la "no recomendación". Hay demasiados puzzles con una lógica completamente bizarra, incluso usando los hints del menú. Tenemos demasiadas cosas en el inventario, que además no es cómodo de usar, hay demasiadas locaciones como para recordar donde está cada cosa o personaje (ni hablar si dejamos de jugar un día y lo retomamos al siguiente), muchas pistas de los personajes se dan no dentro de la interfaz de diálogo sino cuando terminamos de hablar. Todo esto coronado por un puzzle gigante en secuencia tipo "cadena de favores" el cual está correlacionado a la historia de una manera totalmente accidental, es decir, vamos intercambiando objetos a personajes que los necesitan sucesivamente pero nunca entendemos porque lo estamos haciendo, es porque sí. Luego resulta que al final de todo terminamos obteniendo una pistola. No se me ocurre un mejor ejemplo en el tiempo reciente de un juego que necesite una lista de tarea o quest log como este. La interfaz de las acciones también es bastante confusa y no parece ser consistente, a veces hay que patear las cosas pero no cortarlas con un instrumento, usar la mano en los objetos del inventario los selecciona salvo a veces que los modifica. Puntaje: 6/10
