Read my full review on Adventure Game Hotspot!
Excerpt: "While at first I noticed only the many, many flaws and gruelling design decisions in Lost on Cow Island, pretty soon its virtues grabbed me. Between the gorgeous backgrounds, the fitting voices, and searching through dark corners with that candle, I found myself having fun almost in spite of the puzzles’ attempt to thwart my progress. Even if not everything makes sense or fits well together when you stop and think about it, that familiar old-school adventure game feel is definitely there. There is a lot to do and many inventory items to collect, with plenty of funny conversations in between. Actually using those items in the “correct” way, however, isn’t so much a matter of pushing your brain cells to the limit as resorting to puzzle experimentation until something randomly works. That too can be entertaining for a while, but in tossing out the last forty years of genre evolution, the game might just leave you twitching and disoriented like a mad cow yourself."
