If you liked the older games or point&click games in general you will most likely love this iteration of the Monkey Island series. I would give the game a score of 8.5 but considering between 8 and 9 I think the 8 is very solid and more fitting. I was quite disappointed with the ending I must say - I felt it was pretty stupid and lackluster. The game doesnt do anything too revolutionary, it is "just more of the game good stuff". Why is it not a 10? - The controls are in general very good but some action points are bothersome and I missclicked multiple times. The speedrun trophy with being under 2hrs says quite a bit about the game length still for the price tag it feels fitting. The playtime is around 8-10hrs I would say but there is also a lot of back and forth backtracking which I found a bit bothersome.

I stumbled two times were I thought that the solution wasnt obvious at all. Some puzzles I feel are very mediocre, I played on hard mode and found it pretty easy in general. When it comes to the game itself I loved how old characters were included and the general story isnt bad but it is not revolutionary too. Overall the game runs stable, no bugs, no issues on my playthrough. The vibes from old times are still there and the new graphics might seem a bit strange at first but I feel that they are working out pretty well and the engine in general looks very good.

Summary: It's been many years since Guybrush Threepwood was last locked in a battle of wits with his nemesis, the zombie pirate LeChuck. Return picks up immediately after the events of 1990’s Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge, which makes sense, as this also marks the return of the series creator, Ron Gilbert, to Monkey Island.
