- Return to Monkey Island is a funny pirate-fueled point-and-click adventure game you shouldn't miss
Jack Brassell · Aug 03, 2023 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Return to Monkey Island is a game made with a clear affection for the genre and series itself. It is also a confidently told story with some incredible design work to make sure it still feels like a classic point-and-click game without all of the sore spots that usually come with that.
Campbell Bird · Jul 27, 2023 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Barring the writing and visuals that are a huge part of the experience, audio is where Return to Monkey Island absolutely shines. The voice acting is superlative, and it is backed by an incredible soundtrack. It feels weird to think of it like one, but this is probably the closest we will come to a AAA point and click adventure game. While not the same genre, I think we should be talking about Return to Monkey Island alongside great games like Pentiment.
Mikhail Madnani · Jul 27, 2023 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Despite its announcement on April Fools Day, Return to Monkey Island is no joke, even though the game is full of them. Crafted with respect for veterans and newcomers alike, Return to Monkey Island shows that the puzzles in puzzle games can be just as memorable as the story and characters.
James Davie · Dec 02, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Like the older but wiser cast of characters, the puzzling gameplay has matured, taxing your wits, but not your patience, never leaving you so bogged down with frustration that you can’t enjoy the comedy.
Jonathan Trussler · Dec 02, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - What cannot be denied, however, is that this is an amazing point-and-click adventure that retains much of the beloved charm, while still updating the experience to be a more well-balanced affair.
Jake Su · Nov 14, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Return to Monkey Island is a fantastic end to Guybrush’s compulsive search for the secret of Monkey Island and perfectly encapsulates what made these iconic games so popular in the first place.
Richard Allen · Nov 12, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - The puzzles themselves are no longer absurd exercises in item combination, here everything has a surface logic. And thanks to the richly detailed art style, there isn't even any pixel hunting to speak of.
Ken Talbot · Nov 08, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Return to Monkey Island is fantastic. Brilliantly written and full of charm, the game manages to deliver a fresh experience in a nostalgic world. Even though the new art direction is divisive, the storytelling and humor are top-notch and make this a highlight of the franchise.
Jaz Sagoo · Nov 08, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Return to Monkey Island is sublime – a terrific sunken treasure, sharply scripted, lovingly made, and nothing but a pure, unbridled joy. Unlike Guybrush repairing his old ship in predictably shoddy fashion, Terrible Toybox has made a more than seaworthy adventure - streamlined, fun, and hugely entertaining. A story of swashed buckles, impeccably told and beautifully made.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
Return to Monkey Island is an unexpected, thrilling return of series creator Ron Gilbert that continues the story of the legendary adventure games The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. It’s been many years since Guybrush Threepwood was last locked in a battle of wits with his nemesis, the zombie pirate LeChuck. 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. 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’. Banter with old friends and new faces on familiar islands now under dangerous new leadership. Then, take to the high seas and explore the new and unknown as you work your way out of tough predicaments. Clever puzzles, bizarre situations, and devastating ripostes are all that stand between Guybrush and glory.
