Bonne suite mais conclusion frustrante ?

Le style graphique original et la direction artistique soignés font que cette nouvelle aventure dégage un charme unique. On appréciera la variété des lieux parcourus ainsi que les ambiances propres à chacun d'eux. Je reste néanmoins dubitatif sur les personnages, en effet, le fait qu'il n'y aient pas de yeux mais simplement des points noirs leur donne aucun expression. Certes, ils sont animés mais ce n'est pas aussi impactant. Les musiques sont toujours excellentes. On regrettera l'absence de voix françaises bien que les anglaises sont très bonnes. L'histoire pas mal. Elle fait "suite" à la fin de Monkey Island 2 avec son lot d'humour (moins amusant ?) et reprend des décors du premier qui sont bien sûr réagencés, on reconnait sans mal les environnements du premier épisode. Tout tourne autour du Secret de l'île aux Singes et bien que l'écriture soit de qualité, je trouve que la fin est très décevante mais pas mauvaise... Expédiée très vite sans y mettre les formes... Alors oui, elle peut porter à réfléchir surtout avec ce qu'on débloque après avoir terminé le jeu mais cela laisse un goût d'inachevé... Le système d'aides qu'on peut utiliser via un livre est une bonne idée, il permet de se débloquer si on a pas envie de chercher dans toutes les îles (au passage, la rapidité du déplacement du protagoniste est appréciable). Les énigmes ne sont pas tordues et se laissent faire assez facilement. Deux modes sont disponibles : Normal et Difficile. Comme dans le 3, en Normal, des puzzles sont tronqués. Les cartes à collectionner sont sympathiques mais si il faut passer des dizaines et des dizaines de fois dans le même endroit pour espérer en avoir une... Ça donne pas envie de s'investir surtout que certaines réponses sont introuvables ! Au niveau de la durée de vie, c'est dans la lignée du genre : comptez un gros après-midi. C'est un Point and click qui tient la route mais qui pourra décevoir les fans de la première heure...

Classic graphic adventure

After some time in the drawer, I finally decided to play this adventure. Once finished, I understood the opinions of other players: from those who have rated it with 5 stars to those who only gave it one star. And it is not an easy game to rate, as it depends on your previous experience with adventure games, and with the Monkey Island saga in particular, and even the vital moment in which you find yourself. This game is a traditional point and click adventure game very easy to handle. Technically speaking, the game has no problems at all. You can save the game at any time or continue the game the instant you quit. And what I liked the most: if you stopped playing for a while, returning to the game offers you the possibility to make a summary of what you have done so far. This is very very useful in adventure games. Compared to other adventure games, or even to other Monkey Island games, this adventure is relatively easy. You can consult the hint book in your inventory in case you get stuck. The puzzles are simple or merely entertaining. That is to say, they will not generate any stress or anxiety. The soundtrack is spectacular and follows the style of previous Monkey Island adventures. What's more, if you've played the previous ones, you'll find yourself humming along to the music on more than one occasion. The graphics, oh the graphics. They have a very peculiar style, very cartoon, which have not been liked by everyone. However, despite its very square style, it is incredibly surprising how expressive all the characters are. Whoever hasn't stared at Guybrush in the final scene, has no soul, no heart, or doesn't even know what has played. Perhaps the main problem with this adventure, is that it may rely too much on nostalgia and memories of other adventures in the saga. If you have played the entire saga, you probably will like this one. If you're not a fan of classic adventure games, it probably won't tell you anything.

NOT Monkey Island 3

Don't bother with this game if you expect a true Monkey Island 3. You will be disappointed. It is not a true successor to Monkey Island 2, you will not find closure. If you liked everything that came after that game, you will enjoy this one too though, as the many positive reviews show.

Sad game

Yes, I am disappointed. The art style of course is a choice the devs can make however they want, but I don't think it's been a good one. However, I would have accepted the clanky style when the rest of the game just "clicked" - but it didn't. I get it that times have changed. But this is simply too much. Guybrush was a hero. Yes, Elaine didn't need him - but he at least tried. This game doesn't even try. And we needed him. We needed a hero like Guybrush and this game does nothing but destroy his legacy. Sorry to say this, but everyone in this game is a loser except for Elaine - and somehow even she is, because she actually was stronger in the first two installments.

The weakest MI game so far

This game is to Monkey Island games what the "sequel" Star Wars trilogy (VII, VIII, IX) is to the Star Wars franchise: - At first glance, fan service nostalgia trip, but with a twist. It is actually deconstructing and destroying all the characters we got to know and love from the previous games, for seemingly no reason. - At first glance, an identity politics tirade (ex. the new "Pirate Leaders", and a noticeable, calculated increase in female roles), something which should have no place in entertainment in general. On the other hand, it could also be seen as the opposite - the author's cleverly hidden ironical criticism of identity politics. Either way, not something that should be brought up in a light-hearted adventure game. - Retcons all the previous entries, esp. the ending of MI2, but then the reason is lost, since we get a similar (and some might say even worse) ending here. Why? I regret wasting money on this game, even with a discount. One can only hope that someday we will see a renaissance of the genre, but this is definitely not it.
