Utterly Botched "Return"
Note: I own this game on another platform. I will try to be spoiler-vague about this. I'm glad some fans are enjoying the game. Unfortunately, I found it to be disastrous. And no, it has nothing to do with the new art style. Ron Gilbert made this game about himself. It was a response to message board critics from the 90s that he had always wanted to make. And yet he didn't have an actual story or a real ending planned out after all these decades. But worst of all, he retconned basically the entire series to do this. You can't really get more disastrous writing than that. Retconning all 5 previous games only to give no answers at all.. In trying to address the ending of MI2, he completely ignored the ending of Tales of MI. In trying to answer what the actual "Secret" of Monkey Island is, he gave no real answer at all (or some might say he gave every answer, or whatever you want the answer to be...). So he retconned the entire series for.... nothing? What a disaster. I was going to give 2 stars because at least there are some puzzles and gameplay that some hardcore fans might enjoy, but after writing this out, I had to lower it to a 1. The puzzles aren't even interesting and there is very little humor in the game, as well. The premise of the story makes no sense whatsoever and is built upon a bunch of mindless coincidences that would never happen based on the previous games. Play any and all of the old games before playing this one. I played through the full series right before Return to MI came out, and what an upsetting shock that turned out to be.
