"A nostalgic, swashbuckling adventure you won’t want to miss."
9/10 – GamesRadar


Return to Monkey Island is an unexpected, thrilling return of series creator Ron Gilbert that continues the story of the legendary adventure games The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games.

It’s been many years since Guybrush Threepwood was last locked in a battle of wits with his nemesis, the zombie pirate LeChuck. His true love, Elaine Marley, has turned her focus away from governing and Guybrush himself is adrift and unfulfilled, having never found the Secret of Monkey Island. Hip, young pirate leaders led by Captain Madison have shuffled the old guard from power, Melee Island has taken a turn for the worse, and famed businessman Stan has been imprisoned for ‘marketing-related crimes’.

Banter with old friends and new faces on familiar islands now under dangerous new leadership. Then, take to the high seas and explore the new and unknown as you work your way out of tough predicaments. Clever puzzles, bizarre situations, and devastating ripostes are all that stand between Guybrush and glory.

Return to Point & Click Swashbuckling

Bringing classic point and click gameplay to the modern-day, intrepid pirates will solve puzzles and explore the islands with a clever evolution of classic adventure game controls. Context-sensitive interactions, reactive dialog trees, and an easy-to-use inventory system make pirating a breeze.

Embark on Archipelago Adventures

Navigate the sometimes-friendly confines of Melee Island, a familiar place that finds itself under new management by leaders who have put the squeeze on old friends and new faces. Venture out into uncharted lands like the aptly named Terror Island and the chilling outposts of Brrr Muda to make allies and enemies alike.

Created by a Legendary Crew

The new chapter in the Monkey Island series marks the return of the iconic series’ creator Ron Gilbert, joined by game co-writer Dave Grossman, art director Rex Crowle (Knights & Bikes, Tearaway) and composers Peter McConnell, Michael Land, and Clint Bajakian (Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge).

9/10
Return to Monkey Island expectedly comes packed full of smartly crafted puzzles, funny dialogue, and memorable characters. But as series creator Ron Gilbert returns to the series’ director’s chair for the first time since 1991, it unexpectedly offers a lot of heart, too. It is an adventure gamer’s delight.

A brilliant return to the series at its best that modernises the point-and-click form.

Quite fun, but we all have grown up

I'm writing this review after finished the game with my 2y old daughter sleeping right beside me. I think I was 6y old when I finished the first game. It's been a good ride. For the game, I found the art very charming and beautiful. And for the puzzles, a little empty sometimes. But I think that for the nature of this game, it's quite good.

The Worst Ending

I have not played the other games in this series, I may check some out for comparison. I did not like the art work in this game, without giving anything away, I thought Threepwood was a selfish jerk, but the real clincher was the empty vapid ending. It was like your at this crowded party having fun and the lights went off for a second and when they came back on no one was there and your just sitting ther staring at an empty room (screen). Wait till it is $5.00

Ugly

Ugly art style unfunny jokes and continuous references to better games, the worst of which is the repeated references to the insult swordfighting from Secret hinting that it will appear later in the game. Spoiler: It does not. 100% in less than 18h (owned on steam)
