March 2025
I have played every Monkey Island and have been a fan since back in the DOS days on windows 93. I was 13. I played the original Monkey Island along with Kings Quest, Quest for glory, stuff like that. I was thrown off by the animation of this new game at first, but it grew on me since the story was so good. I really enjoyed the game and will be playing it again. I want to pick different responses from Guybrush in talk sequences.

What can I say... it's a Monkey Island game! Tall tales, and hilarious puzzles to solve. Graphics are remastered into today's glory. But one can resort to the original graphics and interface with a toggle of the keyboard. If you like puzzle and a great story, then I recommend this game highly.

The game is fun and definitely triggers nostalgia for the series. That being said, I'd rate it as one of the weaker entries. The story is okay-ish but somehow disappointing (including a typical Ron Gilbert ending), the riddles surprisingly easy. The humor is good but not as great as in the earlier entries. Voice acting, gameplay and music are top notch as always. While the new art style is beautiful and well crafted, it definitely needs some getting used to. The only thing I really didn't enjoy at all, are the spawn rates for the trivia cards you can find across the game, which result in tedious grinding. The Monkey Island series is like pizza, even a bad one is still pretty good. So I'd recommend this one to fans of the series, but you should lower your expectations. If you're new to the series, go play the original ones instead.

I struggled to finish "Return to Monkey Island". I struggled not because I got stuck or because it was too hard or so, but because the more I played the less I knew it was left to play a Monkey Island adventure. I didn't want it to finish, so the first time I just slowed down and then stop it before finishing it. After more almost 2 years (of course I had it pre-ordered) I decided it was time to just enjoy it. It was a pleasure, an honour to be delighted with such a fine work. It warmed my heart, it made me laugh, it made me cry, but most of all it made me happy. It is such a great work, that, in my opinion, succeeds in the hardest thing: it does not leave any sour taste!...instead it leaves a fine, different although familiar taste. It feels a proper ending that respects the nostalgia without leaving any of it. Thanks Ron, thank you all for this final bite of something so delicious I will always wish for more.

This game is a delightful homage to the beloved series, blending nostalgic charm with fresh adventures. The witty dialogue and clever humor will have you grinning from ear to ear, while the updated visuals (I wish to see more of this art style) bring the quirky world to life in vivid detail. Exploring familiar locales like Melee Island feels both nostalgic and exciting, with plenty of new surprises to keep you hooked. The puzzles strike the perfect balance of challenge and fun, testing your wits without ever becoming frustrating. "Return to Monkey Island" is a must-play for fans of classic adventure games. It's a swashbuckling good time that proves Monkey Island's magic is as strong as ever. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3273406631 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3256881076
