In fact, the objects can be used simply by selecting them and moving them to the point of interest of the seabed, and within the inventory it will be possible to combine them or analyze them (visual or commented analysis). The modern classicįollowing in the footsteps of the most modern point and click, definitively abandoning the SCUMM (not the bar, that’s still there! Ed), from a playful point of view, Return to Monkey Island is streamlined to a minimumnot only automatically suggesting two one or two dialogue options directly when pointing the mouse at a character, but also greatly simplifying inventory. Will he make it? You will discover the answer by playing. So Guybrush will look for a ship on the island in every way, and will try again to form a crew to set sail. It is not clear whether out of spite or fate, but the objectives of the two pirates will coincide again. Here Guybrush Threepwoodour long-time protagonist, will immediately learn that his nemesis is the hour pirate ghost zombie LeChuck, is setting up a crew to reach Monkey Island and steal his secret. The real adventure to find the secret of Monkey Island begins immediately after the prologue, and will see us start with the good old Melee Island, where things have changed a lot since our last visit, including the governor and the trio of pirate leaders.
Taking us by surprise to say the least, Return to Monkey Island opens up in front of us with a prologue / tutorial who deliberately and kindly tries to deceive us with obvious references to… something that we will let you discover for yourself. However, I strongly emphasize that the mass of easter eggs, quotes and references to the old games it is mammothed a good refresher is therefore recommended of them before embarking on this adventure. Some interpretations have changed, the approach has changed, the standards have changed, and in all we must also add that this title wants – and must – also interface with a much younger type of audience (or that at least has recovered and enjoyed the old chapters).Īn apparently very complicated mission, which nevertheless seems to have been completed successfully.
We are talking about the sequel to historical milestoneswhose fans have now grown and matured, col time that has passed not only for them, but also for the technology, and also for the new way of dealing with comedy. Without hiding behind a finger, it is quite obvious that much of what has been put into the pot is for a clear “Nostalgia operation”, and that’s fine. The introductions for the title that needs no introduction have come to an end, so it’s time to finally discover Return to Monkey Island in our review.
The legendary saga continues, and next to Gilbert we also find Dave Grossman, who also worked with him in the creation of the first two Monkey Islands (the only absent of the magical trio is Tim Schafer, currently busy with his personal projects). Lucasfilm Games e Terrible Toyboxthe studio headed by none other than Ron Gilbert in person, they have the honor and the burden to continue the saga in a canonical way, assisted by the leading publisher in the field of independent titles Return Digital. Return to Monkey Island it is exactly the title that all longtime fans have been waiting for, from the longest running to those who have discovered the old chapters during this long period.
Thirty years of waiting they are long, very long, especially if during this one we entertained ourselves with something that, despite not bearing the same name, does not have the same charisma, the same creators, or more simply the same quality behind it.
