I decided to check out a short yet legendary point-and-click experience from the annals of history and I wasn't let down: a blast from the past for sure! I haven't touched Monkey Island™ with a ten-foot pole before, so no nostalgia attached. I could quite quickly see many of the innovative features that made The Secret of Monkey Island famous back in the day, as there were a few things I haven't encountered in any other point-and-click style game. To stay as spoiler free as possible: there was a puzzle were you had to just walk over the correct spot without clicking anything, and a certain section had you in a manner of speaking "farming" some "enemies" until you had what it takes to continue. Mostly though it was just a good quality point-and-clicker with the standard occasional "You need to combine WHAT?!" moments. I really appreciated the way you could switch between the original graphics from 1990 and the 2009 remake with a single button press whether you were solving a puzzle or slap in the middle of a cutscene (which is a word coined by the guy responsible for Monkey Island, Ron Gilbert!). There were a few images in which the original's more realistic look almost had the upper hand. I was really happy with the more modern look and sound of the game, but it was nonetheless titillating to take a peek at how every pixelated scene used to look 36 years ago. It was exciting to both discover that the original music was also preserved and to see how much richer the still recognisable new soundtrack was – and also to discover that additional background sounds had been added! The music was also quite good all by itself. I mostly enjoyed the difficulty of the game. I tried to solve the vast majority of the puzzles by myself, but I was also grateful for the sturdy hint system that was integrated into the game. A couple of times I used it to cut down on running back and forth, since the slow walking speed of the protagonist was one of the most annoying parts of the game. There were also a couple of moments toward the end of the game where I could have spent hours bashing my head against a wall while running all over the place spamming pull, push, use, look and pick up on every pixel I could see when the solution was not exactly intuitive. Otherwise, there was only one time during the whole game where I got stuck in some geometry and was forced to reload a save. All in all, The Secret of Monkey Island stands the test of time as an enjoyable point-and-clicker. The story and gameplay is solid enough, while also being spliced with a few moments that are bound to stick with you and incite a chuckle long after finishing the adventure. 8 / 10
The Secret of Monkey Island is the best game I’ve played in a while. It has aged remarkably well, thanks to its wonderful charming world, and incredibly funny writing. The voice acting is great and pairs perfectly with the humor, while the music creates an unforgettable atmosphere. I love the music and humor throughout—it’s clever, memorable, and consistently entertaining. It’s an absolute classic that remains just as delightful today as ever.
I took this at a slow pace and played with someone else. This is a classic for a reason; it's full of terrifically silly fun, and uses a bevy of mechanics to keep your brain stretching for creative solutions. The game is fair, ad as far as I can tell, can't be made unwinnable. There's not really any moon logic here. Any time we were hitting a wall, we could generally chalk the issue up to parts of the map left unexplored. The new soundscape and voice acting brings everything alive, and I like switching back and forth between the old pixel art and the new painted style. both had their ups and downs, so having both was definitely a boon. Recomended!
One of the best click adventure games from the 80ties. It is full of jokes and the special edition lets you jump back and forth between modern and classic look in very scene. The only downside is that some of the riddles are hard to solve and nowadays player may not have enough patience to sort them out.
