The adventures of Guybrush Threepwood continues with the comeback of the Monkey Island series. The aptly titled Return to Monkey Island launches today and a new trailer aired for the occasion:

​

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.

Return to Monkey Island is available on Steam and the Nintendo eShop.

The ending was a little obscure and the game could be longer, but I enjoyed it a lot. I am looking forward to setting sail for Mire Island!

It was unfortunate how it fizzled out but it was overall pretty good. I actually ended up liking the art style and thought it fit the game really well.
