More like an homage than a sequel
I have so many problems with this that I won’t even start. Also, the allowed character count is way below what I would need for proper complaining. Still, I must acknowledge the game. It is a decent piece of work and delivers the old-school Lucas Arts adventure game vibe. Voice acting and music is authentic Monkey Island. The artwork is what it is, you either like it or you don’t. I didn’t but still enjoyed playing it. Although starvation for an old-school adventure game probably plays an important part there. It is likely that I would not be willing to suffer through this on a regular basis. Luckily, considering the frequency they have been releasing MI games in the last 20 years, I probably won’t have to. For the moment I’d rather see more of this than to not see anything at all. The puzzles are fairly easy. Sometimes it felt more like a graphic novel. I’ll let you decide if that’s good or bad. Regardless, I think if you like the great classics (MI1-2-3, SnM, DoTT, etc.) you are going to like this one as well. For the 2 days it lasts. I did. I wonder why Schafer was not involved in this one, the game probably would have benefited from his input.
Is this helpful to you?
