From LauncherWP: “Return to Monkey Island” is a swansong for golden age adventure games
“Return to Monkey Island” is the fulfillment of a promise made over 30 years ago. Since the release of “The Secret of Monkey Island” in 1990, the series has been held up as a paragon of the adventure game genre.
“Return to Monkey Island” didn’t quite live up to 30 years of pent-up fan theorizing, forum debates and hype from hardcore fans whose tastes are still locked inside a ’90s adventure game time capsule, however. Not because it’s a bad game but because Monkey Island is a humble series that’s been unfairly saddled with an unfeasibly epic expectation.
“Return to Monkey Island” can be widely enjoyed by everyone, whether you are an adventure game veteran or a total newbie. The game is designed as a classic point-and-click title crafted with a modern sensibility: simple UI, puzzles encouraging unconventional thinking and punchy dialogue coupled with a vibrant Cubist art style and highly adaptable difficulty settings.
