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).

Absolute masterpiece! 5/5

Well... where to start? I have played all the old Monkey Island games so I was super excited to play a "remake" or a sequel... I must say... for the first 20 minutes or so I had mixed emotions and the initial excitement kinda wore off - the overall graphics look was in a completely new style, so I wasn't sure what to expect next... But boy I was wrong! The story is an absolute masterpiece... it's engaging and I literally couldn't stop playing because I was curious what's gonna happen next... I can't tell you how many times I laughed at all the jokes in the game... The game is basically full of jokes at every move... The storytelling is absolutely amazing... the way the story is portrayed is fantastic... the cutscenes are fabulous... I was hooked the moment the main story began in the game - after the first 30 minutes or so... Voice acting is triple-A... loved it! Music is fantastic... One of the main reasons I call this game a masterpiece is not only because of the fidelity of all its parts - from story, to graphics, to acting and music... - but mainly because these guys know how to use pattern interrupts... At every step of the story, you kinda think what's gonna happen next and boy... they make sure you get surprised over and over again... This is a true storytelling skill that you just don't see in most games... Overall - I must say this was THE BEST game I played this year. Period... I'm definitely looking forward to a sequel and I hope the guys will actually make one... I bought it for like 18€ and it's cash well spent... worth every penny...

Nostalgia and great fun combined

I like the graphics and the sound. The atmosphere is very well down to the point. It is exceptionally funny, a brilliant trip down memory lane and a work of art all in one. It may not be a hard to master adventure game, but it it may very well ignite a spark of "games can also be like this"-adventure-fun in a new generation of gamers. Very different game compared to today's lot - I like it! And finally something funny indeed.

Return to Monke Island

The Curse of Monkey Island is one of the best games I ever played. Return to Monkey Island doesn't fly as high as that game but it is still an amazing adventure game.

Ok

I am no MI franchise fan, in fact I never played a MI game before. This game was fun. Very short, but fun. Jokes that would make you laugh if you like that particular kind of humor and the weird drawings.
