Professional reviews from gaming critics
It is late in the day; you are feeling kind of precious and need something to do with yourself. It is time to grab onto your favourite peripheral and play
When the issues of a game are rolled and stomped by its greatness, then it’s something to invest on if you have some spare.
On the other hand, the game does offer a unique Fast-Travel system due to the solutions being placed around Bone Town. Upon arriving, players will receive a map of the city, which will circle key locations as they are discovered. Willy can pull out his map and immediately travel to any previously discovered location, removing the need for players to memorize the layout of Bone Town. This is particularly helpful when finding a specific key or tool that solves a puzzle on the other side of the town. The story behind Henry Morgan's disappearance is fraught with unsuspecting characters, secrets,...
With a lighter than usual challenge, Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town is a fun and welcoming change of point-and-click pace
The glitz and glamor of being a real pirate seems to be, at one time or another, every kid’s dream. But what if you could go on an adventure to not only meet some pirates but also solve a decade long mystery and see what piracy looks like in the modern era? Willy Morgan and The Curse of Bone Town promises exactly that. Honestly, sign me up, because it sounds awesome.
Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town would’ve been a decent game if it had come out in the nineties, but as one that chose to be released in 2020, it only serves as a reminder of how far games have come in the past thirty years.
Verdict: New players won’t find the true potential of adventure games from Curse of Bone Town‘s simplistic story and easy-going puzzles. Experts won’t be easily amused by the references either. Despite that, imaginarylab has made a solid framework for their future endeavors with this title. It may not be an innovative title, but it’s one you won’t regret your time with.
