It sticks to its own identity and aims to be the best version of itself – a comforting, charming game with great characters and amusingly esoteric puzzles. Return to Monkey Island isn’t a grand reinvention of point-and-click adventure games in mechanical or narrative ambition. Return to Monkey Island tells a wholesome and compelling tale of swashbuckling shenanigans that should appeal to anyone seeking a hearty adventure on the high seas.Ī wonderful continuation of a classic that takes us back to an improbable story in an impossible place and leaves no buckle unwashed. There’s no denying that certain elements will be lost without that decades-old connection, but having a history with the series isn’t essential to enjoying Guybrush Threepwood’s latest escapade. Returning players will adore the fan service and familiar sense of warmth that permeates the whole experience, yet it still strives to make itself somewhat approachable for beginners. There’s a scrapbook on the main menu that recounts the events of past games, but it’s light on specifics and feels more like a refresher course than a vital tool for newcomers to catch up on previous hijinks. Return to Monkey Island is a game for the series’ fans.
