Lone McLonegan : A Western Adventure

[h1] Lone McLonegan : A Western Adventure [/h1] I have not finished this so will keep it short. I’m frustrated by the controls and have decided to shelve the game for now and hope for patches [b] Beautiful artwork but short on execution [/b] [hr] [/hr] I am nitpicking. I do like this game; I just don’t want to play it right now. I’m hoping for patches. In the Steam forums people have mentioned unwieldy controls, two icons that accomplish the same things, constant selecting with the right-mouse button because it’s a single selection deal only, and the inability to move quicker when you double-click. There are too many traditional point-n-click controls that are missing. Wheels were reinvented that needn’t have been. Some notes on the controls I’d like to see implemented were: Right click exits the inventory. Keep my inventory item selected until I deselect it. Double click to walk faster. Double-click at scene edge to fast travel. The text was slow until I ...

[b]Lone McLonegan - A good game, but only for a specific subset of gamers[/b] Spoiler alert: I am one of the gamers I am talking about. Lone McLonegan is a western point+click from first-time Spanish developers Sonomio games. Between Sonomio games, and Pirita (of Mutropolis), and cKolmos (of Oniria Crimes), and several other studios I can mention, there's been a load of highly enjoyable indie adventures coming out of Spain lately. Billed as a comedy, Lone McLonegan doesn't have a ton of jokes, but derives its humor from wacky characters, silly puzzles, and absurd situations. As an English-speaking player, I feel like some of the humor may be lost in translation, as there's no voice acting and the writing definitely feels a tad stilted; clearly translated, and in places not very naturally written. In Lone McLonegan, we follow Lone, a mean-looking gentleman who fancies himself the most notorious outlaw in all the West. However, he hears that he has been usurped by the even bigger, ...

The demo of this game has transported me back to the 90's, the age of the best graphical adventure games. Now I have bought the complete version... Time to enjoy it!! Graphics are brilliant, the story is full of funny puzzles and... ... You can also kick every thing!!!!

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

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.

This game is f*****g awesome!, funny as hell and really nice art...

very nice game. quite funny, too.

I'll give this game a positive rating but with caveats. The art style is unique, and Lone is a good character, an actually likable anti-hero. The dialogue is well done, interesting and sometimes pretty funny. The story is interesting enough. The problem with the game is that it's way too chaotic. You have a ton of things going on all at once and you can go to a huge number of locations at any time, and it's just too much to keep track of, especially if you play the game somewhat sporadically. A lot of the puzzles are just part of an insanely long "trading quest," and the solutions often seemed random to me, although that could partially be because I took long breaks between play sessions and didn't remember everything that was going on. The hint system isn't very dynamic and will keep giving you the same hints, even if you clearly have tons of unsolved puzzles. At a certain point, I just gave up and used a walkthrough to complete the game. I didn't like the controls either. Instead o...

It's a mixed bag. Entertaining enough with decent length, but while the puzzles are alright in theory, the pacing and structure is not well planned with often way too many options at once with little to no hints about what you should work on next in addition to the game not accepting very obvious solutions to problems for no other reason than that it wants you to do something, usually more obscure, else. Sometimes, you can get vague cllues by looking at objects, but often, it seems rather random. The inventory could've been more comfortable to use, especially since it'll get crowded pretty soon. Overall, it has its heart at the right place, but required a bit more actual game design.
