yes and no
mostly yes but strong no also.
this game would be georgeous if not for the gameplay.
visually, audibly, voice acting, animation, everything top and so cute.
but gameplay is effin obnoxious. and i dont mean the clickin. i mean the effin puzzles and the order in which you have to use items.
often i had the right idea but the game didnt let me do it, bc i had to click other things first. like, i cant use item on person. i have to combine item with item in inventory and then use mix on other item on map and then person gets item from map. is fucking weird. i just cant think like that.
i had to look up so many solutions and not bc the puzzle was hard, but bc the game made it hard.
and for what?
i mostly enjoyed the beginning, first half of the game, first 3 or 4 hours. but the writing kinda fell apart for me afterwards.
and i have no idea how i could possibly replay this now knowing who the killer is.
since the gameplay is just not fun,
id rather watch someone else play it.
frankly im not sure its worth the full price. probably not. a strong discount makes it okay.

This is one of the best old-school point-and-click adventures I have played in the last few years, if not in my life (and I have been playing point-and-click games since the 80s).
The graphics and the soundtrack are great, the puzzles are very good and well-integrated with the plot, and the characterization of the characters and the dialogs are excellent.
But where the game shines is the plot writing: the clever division of the story into different temporal planes (one for each of the three playing characters) gives the game great deepness, despite the overall limited number of locations.
The only minor complaint I have is that the hotspots highlighting works only near the playing character: this led me to miss a crucial item tucked in a corner of a location (anyway the game has a built-in hint system).

It's alright! the dialogue is hella irritating, at times it's super patronising and others it's annoyingly obscure but the characters are fun and the story is engaging. It doesn't quite capture the Lucas Games magic of something like 'Grim Fandango' but as homage it does a decent job.

I would recommend this as a great entry game into point and click adventures, given that I found it to be simpler than many of the classics. Might need some polishing in the UX department sometimes, but overall very enjoyable.

I was very intrigued about this game when I played the demo and put it on my wishlist. Now after playing the full game, I could say it is now one of my new favorite games!
I really loved the three main characters, they had such unique and fun personalities that meshed well with each other! I also loved the voice acting in this game! There were times when I mistook a couple of voices for well known voice actors, so I have to give so much props to the voice actors for being so talented!
Overall, I loved this game. It was challenging, yet fun! I hope we get to see more of these characters in another game!

This game is just....great! The polish is on point, the voice actors are really acting instead of just reading lines, and the animations are out of this world.
Being a game dev myself this is a quality target I could only hope for.
We have been having discord sessions where we play it together and it is a very well made game.
So grab a drink, grab a snack, and get on the choo choo detective point-and-click game that is Loco Motive!
Best of luck in your future endeavours, guys!

Great overall game, a lot of talking but everything is well polished and the voice acting is great. I did manage to bug it a couple of times but thankfully nothing halted progress. A lot of love clearly went into the game so it was very enjoyable

Charming game with lots of humour and clever jokes and riddles. Also really enjoyed the easter eggs and references the devs included in the game. If you enjoy oldschool point & click games, this one is a winner!

If you're a fan of LucasArt's Point-and-Click Adventure games, then this is an easy recommendation. A good story with excellent humor both slapstick and spoken, gorgeous pixel art, strong voice acting and direction, and largely good puzzles barring the occasional oddball solution.

I finished Loco Motive and I really liked it. The game had bright, colorful pixilated art and very good voice acting. The story was funny and engaging. I loved the crazy cast of characters on board the Reuss Express. The puzzles were logical for the most part and there were only a couple times I got stuck. If you do get stuck and want help, there is an in-game hint system via a telephone call line that will provide a nudge for various puzzles by topic. There is some character swapping in the later chapters where it doesn’t make sense that a character would know to switch items to someone in a different location. I noticed it, but by that time, I was so invested in the game that I didn’t dwell on that and kept going to see how things would end up.
I ran into one dialogue glitch that froze the game at the end of chapter 3, but I was able to go back to an autosave and avoid the dialogue line and the game continued just fine. There is both an autosave and five manual save slots. I recommend manually saving and not relying only on the autosave as it doesn’t autosave on quitting the game.
Not using the hints and getting stuck a couple times, gave me a play time of about 12.5 hours. This is one of those really good comedy point and clicks adventures and I recommend it to all that love these types of games.
