Return to Monkey Island

Point-and-click adventures have always been a bit hit-or-miss on console/mobile depending on how much effort the devs put into changing up the controls, so I was a little worried about how this would play on iPad. Very pleasantly surprised as to the result, and I kind of hope that other point-and-click games in the future take note. Everything is very smooth and streamlined, and I didn't come across any of the technical issues noted in older comments, so hopefully those have been fixed. Story-wise, it's classic Monkey Island, with familiar music and top-notch voice-acting. Blasts from the past don't always live up to your memories, but this one did, at least for me.

I played on hard mode and it was wonderful. Everything you love about Monkey Island with some fresh twists. Familiar locations and characters along with some new ones. Lots of fun references to earlier inventory items, challenges, and storyline. It will definitely be a better experience for folks that have played the original games. People complaining about the ending don’t get the reference. It’s actually genius. The graphics and audio are great and the puzzles are the right level of challenging. I never pay this much for apps but, well, it’s Monkey Island!

If you are old enough to remember the classic point and click games like Monkey Island, Police Quest, King’s Quest, Space Quest, and you loved them, this game is for you! What a fun game, I literally couldn’t put it down for 2 days until I solved it. The puzzles are challenging on hard mode, I thought they were good. I cannot speak for easy mode. Definitely recommend this game and hope more are on the way.
