Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town is great for both newcomers to the point and genre, as well as hardened veterans. Regardless of which category you fall into, you’ll likely be able to finish the game in an evening. With its charming visuals, captivating story, and inviting puzzles, Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town has plenty to offer.

Willy Morgan is a fun and enjoyable take on point-and-click adventure, but it lacks depth.

Though there’s nothing in the puzzles of Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town that offends, there’s also nothing that surprises or delights. The story and visuals equally lacked anything to seize my attention. Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town is a passable few hours of adventure gaming, but its design would have been below-average in the ’90s and is well behind the curve of what’s available today.

Loved the artstyle. The mechanics were solid. The puzzles were good and the overall feel where a type of game like this one needs to thrive on was definately there. Some funny hints back to the Monkey Island series and some 80's/90's movies without being too present or pushy. This was the first game of these devs and I've played the demo from their new game which will be released this year: Whirlight: No Time to Trip. (Highly recommend it to play that demo). I've put in an hour until the demo was finished and I'm leaning toward a fat 8 already for that game.

Cortito, fácil y sencillo. Muy clásico en su desarrollo y puzzles. El diseño de arte se destaca para más que bien.

It is not a very original game but it's a very enjoyable one, which normaly pales in comparison to most people's childhood memories of Monkey Island (a game which, I'm sorry to say I dislike, the only reason I understand people liking it is nostalgia, it's objectively a bad game in today's standards due to its game design). 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.

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.

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.

An interesting, but too short, adventure about a kid searching for hi lost dad. A very good tribute to classic LucasArts games from a promising studio. Unfortunately the ending of the game is somehow rushed, with linear progression and simplified puzzles and situations.

For fans of the point-and-click games of old, and for anyone looking for a charming, investing mystery to unravel, Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town is a creative, well-crafted reminder that even the simplest game mechanics still hold up today.

The strengths of this all-Italian point-and-click graphic adventure therefore lie in the characterization of the protagonist and in the structuring of the puzzles.

Willy Morgan tries to ride the wave of nostalgia for old-school adventures like Broken Sword, but the comparison is clearly not in its favor: characters lack charisma, and the story isn’t even close to being intriguing. [Issue#247, p.55]

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 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.

Like going on a date with a very pretty lady-gal that as not much to say, speaks in a very monotonous voice and just states the obvious. Sooooo.... The artwork is awesome! Suits the point and click genre perfectly. Sound and music are pretty good. Voice acting is one of the lamest I ever heard.. maybe i'm a little harsh but i mean, it's such a contrast with how great the game looks. The writing is a real eye roller.. ugh! It feels like it was written pre pubescent teens. The caracters couldn't be more cliché, and let's face it, Willy should of been called Weiner... or Weeny. Anywaysss...pretty boring. Looks great. I'm usually not much of a bully but this game really gets it out of me. Maybe it was the comparison with Monkey Island that had me expecting too much, maybe i'm just an **** probably a combination of both. Namaste everyone!

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