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 really okay (if you ask me)

I'm not a big fan of the art style, but I don't mind it either. The game is not perfect (I disliked some puzzles and there could be more possible interactions with objects), but in terms of length it is okay for me. I don't think the ending is bad (actually I kinda like it) and most puzzles are okay or even good. My personal favourite Monkey Island remains part 3.

Back In Business

A great sequel. I played this for around 25 hours and unlocked all achievements. I really enjoyed replaying it and felt it a great addition to the Monkey Island series. The art style. Hmmm. I would have prefered all 2d. But Ron already went there with Thimbleweed Park so... But it's not a bad style. No worse than Escape... There are some wonderful throwback gags to the previous series. I was suprised to see Murray included as he wasn't in the first two games, but was a great addition to the others. It's a shame that Earl Boen didn't voice Le Chuck, but I understand his ill health stopped his participation. Third in my ranking of the games. 1.MI2 2.MI 3.Return to Monkey Island I really hope they make another one!

Laid back, relaxing old-skool adventure

I'm old now, and I keep fond memories of the lucasarts adventure games I so much enjoyed in my youth. Dialogues are great, modern UX is fine too, graphics I don't really care much about, story is pretty much in the same vein as the originals. Puzzles could be more challenging but they are just fine. This one might not invoke the same unforgettable feeling I got with MI1 and 2 but I found it quite satisfying. I really wanted to return to monkey island and this game took me back there. No complaints

It is a Monkey Island game

You get what you'd expect - a Monkey Island in the spirit of the second game.
