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).

It's a good game

It reminds me a lot of the original and I like that they seem to have gone out of their way to keep voices consistent. It was a fun jaunt back to when games were more about solving puzzles and just having fun. It's not perfect, and I still think Curse is still the greatest Monkey Island, but it didn't disappoint me and I'm glad it happened if even to keep the dream of Monkey Island alive.

It's good, until it's not

RtMI is, for the most part, a pretty solid adventure game. It's quite nostalgic, but at the same time it feels properly modern in execution. The UI is streamlined (a little too much, perhaps), the puzzles are (mostly) logical, if not always very clear, and the much talked-about art style is a touch odd, but I got used to it very quickly. The story's fine, if not terribly original, and many of the characters are likeable and memorable, but the best part is how the game explained the ending of MI2 in logical and believable way (although Curse also did it pretty well). But then there's the ending, and that's where the game falls flat on its face. In MI2 it was quite original and surprising, in Thimbleweed Park it was annoying and here it's just plain insulting. So yeah, I don't know if I can recommend RoMI with clear conscience.

Stays true to the originals

I'm not generally a fan of point and click games but I completed Monkey Island 1 & 2 back in the 90's (no audio back then, just subtitles and pixelated graphics) and fell in love with the series. When i heard a new sequel was close to release, I had been put off by reading the reviews about the art direction but decided to take a punt anyway and i'm so glad i did. I've just completed this one too, It plays and feels the same as when i played as a kid, it has all the humour, tricky puzzles and flows brilliantly. I really do hope they make more.
