It has a storybook quality similar to that featured in games like Broken Age and Child of Light. When screenshots for the game were first released, I’ll admit I was a little shocked by the art style. Created by a Legendary Crew – This new chapter in the Monkey Island series is helmed by the iconic series’ creator Ron Gilbert, who is joined by game co-writer Dave Grossman, art director Rex Crowle (Knights & Bikes, Tearaway), and composers Peter McConnell, Michael Land, and Clint Bajakian ( Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge).Venture out into uncharted lands like the aptly named Terror Island and the chilling outposts of Brrr Muda to make allies and enemies alike. Embark on Archipelago Adventures – Navigate the sometimes-friendly confines of Melee Island, a familiar place that finds itself under new management by leaders who have put the squeeze on old friends and new faces.Context-sensitive interactions, reactive dialog trees, and an easy-to-use inventory system make pirating a breeze. Return to Point & Click Swashbuckling – Bringing classic point-and-click gameplay to the modern-day, intrepid pirates will solve puzzles and explore the islands with a clever evolution of classic adventure game controls.Clever puzzles, bizarre situations, and devastating ripostes are all that stand between Guybrush and glory. Then, take to the high seas and explore the new and unknown as you work your way out of tough predicaments. Hip, young pirate leaders led by Captain Madison have shuffled the old guard from power, Melee Island has taken a turn for the worse, and famed businessman Stan has been imprisoned for ‘marketing-related crimes’.īanter with old friends and new faces on familiar islands now under dangerous new leadership. His true love, Elaine Marley, has turned her focus away from governing and Guybrush himself is adrift and unfulfilled, having never found the Secret of Monkey Island. It’s been many years since wannabe pirate-turned-swashbuckler Guybrush Threepwood was last locked in a battle of wits with his nemesis, the zombie pirate LeChuck.
This latest entry is developed by Gilbert’s Terrible Toybox studio and published by Devolver Digital in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games.
Return to Monkey Island marks the unexpected return of series creator Ron Gilbert and continues the story of the legendary pirate adventure games The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge.
Incorporating elements like voodoo, ghastly pirate curses, and a series antagonist who’s literally risen from the dead more times than we can count, it’s a game that has more than enough adventure, comedy, and light-hearted horror to justify mentioning. We don’t normally cover point-and-click adventure games on our site, but Return to Monkey Island is a special exception.
