Return to Monkey Island
Whether you grew up playing the 90s classics or you’ve never heard of a three-headed monkey in your life, this game is a masterclass in storytelling. Series creator Ron Gilbert returned to steer the ship for this chapter, bringing back the sharp wit, clever puzzles, and incredible charm that put point-and-click adventure games on the map.
Here is what makes this specific journey back to the Caribbean so special:
You step back into the boots of Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate, hopeless romantic, and chronic over-explainer, as he finally tries to discover the actual Secret of Monkey Island.
The game replaces the old-school pixel art with a gorgeous, stylized modern look, but keeps the brilliant voice acting (including Dominic Armato as Guybrush!) and sweeping orchestral score.
Stuck on a puzzle? No need to buy a hint book or scrounge up a 1992 walkthrough. The game includes a beautifully integrated, in-game hint system that guides you without spoiling the fun, alongside a “Casual Mode” if you just want to cruise through the story.
It’s funny, it’s genuinely moving, and it’s a brilliant love letter to gaming history. And best of all? You could win it for absolutely nothing.
