Jeu très bien
je trouve ce jeu divertissant et varié . Quand tu es bloqué c'est pour seulement 10min max. Avec en plus des ajouts droles et des moments nostalgiques aux premiers.

It won't bring back your childhood
Comparing this game to the classics like Secret, Revenge, and Curse is like comparing a toddler's scribbles to a masterpiece. Sure, it's solid compared to the forgettable Escape and Tales, but that's not exactly a high bar to clear, is it? - Classic controls: It's point and click like in the old times. Interactions have been simplified, similar to Curse, but no complicated mechanics like in Tales & Escape, so definitely a plus. - Atmosphere: While it captures some of the magic of the old games occasionally, those moments are few and far between. - Puzzles: They're an insult to the intelligence of anyone who played 1-3. It feels like it's dumbed down for the modern-day player. If you're used to hard puzzles, you can just point and click your way through the game like a mindless zombie. - Graphics: The cel-shading-collage-billboard-comic type of look is about as appealing as a root canal, but I got used to it fairly quickly, so while it's not exactly pretty, it's still way better than the 3D garbage we got in Escape and Tales, so I would say 'not great, not terrible'. - Story: The story is a complete disaster, from start to finish. If you're looking for coherence, closure, or even just a basic understanding of what's going on, then you're out of luck. The ending is so nonsensical that you'll be left wondering if Gilbert was on drugs when he came up with it. I mean, sure, Monkey Island games aren't exactly known for their realism or logical storytelling, but come on, at least give us something that we can follow. Otherwise, you'll be left scratching your head and wondering why you bothered playing this game in the first place. I guess the joke's on us for expecting anything remotely coherent. So all in all a mediocre game, not too bad, but certainly not on par with the old titles. Expect a smirk here and there, but don't prepare for mind-boggling puzzles or intelligent laughs, or else you'll be disappointed as a vegan at a steakhouse.

Different, but great.
I've been a fan of Monkey Island since 1993 having played and loved both original games back then, later Curse which I also loved, then Escape which... I hated and never finished. Never really felt the urge to play Tales. The special editions were also great because they gave you a chance to revisit the originals with voice acting though I didn't care much for their graphics... Why am I telling you all this? Well, because there's a ton of reviews telling you this game is just bad and not on the spirit of the old ones - and I completely disagree. Sure, it looks different, but so did Curse. Yeah, has a different interface, but again so did every game in the series, and right, it's more streamlined and probably easier - but personally, being older and having less time in general and especially less time to spend being frustrated and playing trial and error games, I actually appreciated this. And the humor is spot on, I think. I'm not going to try to convince anybody who didn't enjoy it, that they're wrong because they're not - obviously. But for the undecided: be aware that this is not as black and white as it might seem. I have actually just purchased the game here for the third time after having played it upon release on the Switch (which works surprisingly well!) and having also ordered the physical big box version from LRG. So, it can't be that bad, can it?

Good enough as the 4th best MI game
Try to soldier through the first chapter(s): everything that happens before you first board the ship is jarring, childish (literally and figuratively) and quite off-putting. I was setting myself up for frustration. Thankfully, the game's plot and humor start to click after that. There's plenty of nostalgia baiting and some of the returning characters are not used to their full potential, but what's there is at least entertaining enough. I didn't mind the simple puzzles, in fact I was glad to see a game that finally respects your time and does away with unnecessary padding of any kind. The story makes an attempt at giving the universe (and its protagonist) a coherent meta-narrative that also speaks to its creators' sensibilities and changed life perspectives. I wasn't fully sold on the ending or the "emotional" beats it tries to deliver, but I respect the effort. The art style is certainly different and some things (mainly Guybrush's design) never clicked with me, but it has a certain wild charm. The voices are consistently good, though LeChuck never sounds quite "right" despite the new actor's noble efforts. All in all, it is an entertaining 10-12 hour adventure that, weirdly, is at its best when it's not desperately grasping at its roots for easy nostalgia points. This is more of a 3.5/5 game but since you can't do half stars and I was in a charitable mood, I decided to round it up.

Un très bon cru
Ce jeu parvient à recréer les atmosphères croustillantes et délicieusement absurdes des épisodes précédents, tout en apportant une esthétique moderne et soignée. L'interface de jeu est également très bien pensée et efficace. Si vous voulez retrouver le charme et l'humour de ce qui fait un bon Monkey Island, ce jeu est fait pour vous.
