A Lot of Fun
I had a lot of fun with this entry to the series. I started watching a stream of it, and decided to buy it immediately. Personally this is my favorite art style of the entire series, and would love to see more entries in the same style. I wasn't the biggest fan of the ending, but the rest of the game was very entertaining.

Guybrush Threepwood, fearsome pirate🙈
As a 13 years old who played all monkey island games, i really enjoyed to meet again Guybrush Threepwood in this last adventure. I hope to see him in a future adventure 😙

You can(not) return to Monkey Island
Well having played it I can say with confidence that this game... Is not bad. Is it good though? Well that depends on you and how much nostalgia you feel towards the original games. In my case it's a lot and that helped elevate the game in my eyes thanks to the many allusions to former entries. But as its own, the game it was ok. Not great, not terrible. But it's still a Monkey Island game with everything that implies, and I can't help but love it. There is however one point of contention, Some have described the lack of moon logic in the puzzles, as a positive thing. I have to disagree, I feel that the quirky, nonsensical solutions to some of the puzzles, are very much part of the series' identity and of what makes it charming, and I think that doing away with them entirely is a disservice to it. I also feel obligated to discuss the ending. By the time I played the game, it had been out for a few weeks so I had fair warning from spoiler free reviews about it. So when I finally saw it, I was fully prepared and felt no surprise whatsoever. Yet, even with this advance warning I still felt disappointed. I accepted it with resignation and stoicism. That this was all we were going to get. After all, Gilbert does have a long history of doing this same thing to many of his games'. Then I read the developer's note that unlocks after completing the game and... it all sort of clicked together. The core concept of this game and Guybrush's journey reflects Gilbert's own personal experiences and career as a game developer. There is a lot of meta going on here, when you look at it from that perspective, starting even with the title, Just like Guybrush can't go back to his glory days, you can never truly return to Monkey Island or that magical feeling when you first played this game all those years ago. It's not a satisfying ending but it is an ending. As a swan song for the series, it might not be great, but it's good enough.

The perfect point-and-click adventure
This is the way to make a perfect point-and-click adventure these days. Recap of the recent events when loading a game, great dialogues, humor, incredible graphics - even though I am a fan of old school hand drawn adventure games myself, I loved the graphic style of this game. I truly hope this was not our last trip to the Monkey Island! If you find only the graphic style weird - give it a chance. You will not be disappointed.

Hearkens to the halcyon days of the 90's
Wow, this brings back so many memories of fun point and click adventures from the 90's like Sierra and Lucas Arts during their peak. I had heard people were kicking up a stink over the new art style vs the old games, but I liked it. The actual gameplay and puzzles were fairly fun, nothing too difficult to rack the brain over. The humour and storyline were so much fun. I really hope they work on some new stuff. I will definitely be in for more!
