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).

Loved it

It took me a while to get into this. Personally I wasn't that sold on the art style but it really growed on me. The story is very much dependent on nostalgia and it feelt a bit easy although with some more challenging puzzles towards the end. But as a whole I loved it. The story, the humor and the seriously way they handled the legacy of the old games. A must buy in my book.

No porcelain !!!

The game is great overall: - story is fun, not the best of the series, but very decent - puzzles are good, generally simpler than previous titles, and there are some interesting new ideas that worked well But - I'm not a fan of the visual style: I much prefer the Special Edition's (previous titles) - The Trivia game (can be ignored) is rather annoying and contains minor spoilers of things to come: questions about stuff that appear later in the game. And where is the porcelain?

Terrible graphics

It sounds as it is. And it is what it is A game is measured by the graphic engine and on this game and as others have pointed the sense is Ron tried to cut expenses by delivering a sub par flash graphics that doesn't fit any of the previous monkey game series It's annoying that devs thought it was ok to cut expenses at the cost of delivering the ugliest game on the whole series

Good game, worst ending ever

Been waiting on this game for a while; I played all other games in the series. Art style - Great! No, it is not like in previous games (nor it should be); it is different - still great. Humour - Hey, it is still Monkey Island and Guybrush at his finest Puzzles - Puzzles are more on the Telltale series level than on the first two games. Story - Nothing spectacular, good Ending - Dear god ... not sure if the Monkey Island game is supposed to make you depressed. Won't spoil the end, but god, it sucks on so many levels.

One thing ruins the whole game.

It is the artstyle. It is off-putting as heck. I never expected pixel-art or anything like that, but the artstyle they went with is so bad it hurts my eyes. It looks like some generic, low-budget, cartoon network thing, made by some art-student. I hope everyone else likes the game, of course. But this one is not for me.
