The game comes in at a cheap price for episode 1 at just a few pounds/euros. I enjoyed the game despite my slight moan, and I hope they will release more episodes and develop the story. 

En definitiva. Lamb son the Road es una interesante aventura. Una dramática y dura propuesta que te deja con ganas de más. Y que pese a no ser perfecta dentro de su apartado jugable. Si hay que reconocerle y, darle sus galones si vamos en busca de esas cualidades y sensaciones que las mejores adaptaciones de novelas nos pueden dar, junto a mecánicas variadas y, una ambientación que nos mete de lleno en un cruel mundo que puede dar mucho de sí en los siguientes episodios, los cuales espero con muchas ganas.

Por eu gostar muito desses universos pós-apocalípticos, fiquei um pouco mais interessado do que a maioria deve ficar. O tom narrativo e o peso dos eventos pode ser um tanto desconfortável para alguns. A arte é bem minimalista, o que mitiga um pouco esse problema, mas os diálogos te mantém… desesperado. Ou melhor, passam a sensação de urgência, de medo, de falta de esperança, mas com um sonho que vale a pena.

Lambs on the Road is a bit of a mixed bag.  The pixel art is strong and adequately displays the post-apocalyptic setting.  The puzzles, although simple, help to shift focus away from the surprises which helps support the horror aspects of the game.  I am pleasantly surprised at how the developers managed to create a side scrolling horror game through the simplicity of misdirected focus.  However, those moments of fright often become insta-death situations leading to tedious repetition of segments of the game because of the infrequent checkpoints.  This could be mitigated by either more checkpoints or better usage of the health meter John has.  It is unclear why John has three health points when every attack depletes his health completely.  Plus, the repetition extends what is already an incredibly short game.  Despite its shortcomings, Lambs on the Road was still an entertaining experience for me.  If this is indeed an episodic experience, hopefully those shortcomings will be addressed to make the game an even better as we complete John’s adventure to save his daughter Mary.

Lambs on the Road: The Beginning es sólo el comienzo de un interesante proyecto. Este primer episodio muestra una gran ambientación aunque sólo muestra una pequeña parte de sus mecánicas. Lo he disfrutado, pero a las siguientes partes hay que pedir mucho más contenido.
