Our favourite anti-hero is back!

The journey of Guybrush Threepwood continues! I found the story of this sequel of Monkey Island interesting and it kept me hooked. Take into acount that it's necesary to play the previous games of the saga to understand how plot is developed. The diary with photos of Guybrush's adventures is a fine way to look back on best moments in different Monkey Island games. I love the cartoon art style which bring fresh air just as the style change that was made in "The curse of Monkey Island". We will meet again iconic characters (the Voodoo Lady, Herman Toothroot, the Sword Master, Murray, Stan, Wally) and funny dialogues. Puzzles are well balanced and the in-game help will avoid you to get stuck if you need a hint. Personally, I think the conclusion is well made and creators explain it in the letter that you can read after finishing the game. Many players didn't understand this metaphor of life and are very dissapointed. It's normal that people disagree apreciating a game.

not the best game in the series.

without the hint book, most of the puzzles are unsolvable. there is no clear direction the game takes and the story frankly sucks.

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.

Nostalgic Brilliance

They say you cant capture lightening twice, let alone 3 times. Return to Monkey Island does exactly that. An excellent new adventure that retains all the great things from the originals. Puzzles are challenging without being impossible and theres plenty of Laugh out Loud moments. I hope this isnt the last visit.
