Return to Monkey Island

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.

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?

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.

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...

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
