Return to Monkey Island
Description
"An adventure gamer's delight."
9/10 – IGN
"Everything I wanted and more."
9/10 – The Gamer
"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).

A deft and heartfelt journey through nostalgia.

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.

Something Familiar but Different
If you are a fan of point and click games this is a fantastic and fun game. Some purists might find the artstyle too modern and simplistic but id say unless it REALLY bothers you, you'll get used to it quickly and even find some charm in it. But that is just the visual part anyway. The gameplay and humor are there absolutely. The game is somewhat lenghty aswell so you won't be able to rush through it in like 30 minutes. Bottom line, it is really good game for the lovers of the genre.

a great new monkey island game
funny as always, nice new graphics, and runs smooth and stable (I played the linux version). If I had to rank the monkey island games, I would say this one is my 4th favorite (after monkey island 3, 1, and 2). My only (minor) criticism is the somewhat weird ending (which I won't elaborate on here so as not to spoil anything). FYI: the posted system requirements are somewhat exaggerated, the game worked fine on an intel celeron N4000 cpu with integrated graphics and only 4 GB of RAM.

Point and Click Adventure Excellence
This is exactly what a modern point and click adventure should be. The story is engaging. The graphics are impressive (assuming you're okay with the changed look from prior games). The puzzles are logical. It's long enough without feeling repetitive. It presents a good challenge. It can be funny and heartwarming. If you're a point and click adventure fan, this is one to experience.

Great new Monkey Island part!
This part is as good as the other Monkey Island parts, in my opinion. I actually love the ending, maybe even more than the game itself. It is also fantastic they added german voice sync. This way I could play it with my kids who do not understand english.
