Tales of Monkey Island Ep 1

I’m so glad I purchased all of these. I just started the first one and I’m in love with the animation and characters voices. What a beautiful game. I’m rusty with point and click games right now but I finally got through the first part and am on chapter 1. It doesn’t bother me that the game isn’t widescreen. It’s made for this aspect ratio so folks need to calm down. The only thing that bothers me is when it gives you options to choose from the dialog and says the phrase you didn’t choose. I wanted to rescue the monkeys and it said he wanted to rescue the girl. There shouldn’t be different options if the game already has the dialog chosen for what’s next.

Played on a 9th gen basic iPad. Episode one played well, no crashes, no bugs for me. It doesn’t use the full real estate, but I assumed that was the case going in. The aspect ratio didn’t bother me at all though. Unfortunately I’d previously bought the first AND second episode a LOOOONG time ago (2012 or so), but while episode one worked and loaded fine, I had to re-purchase episode two. Ended up buying the whole 5 episode pack, because it was cheaper than purchasing separately even though I already had 1 & 2. 🤷‍♀️ Still, it’s my favorite franchise of all time, and hopefully one of the last times I’ll have to purchase. Just wish they’d stop taking away games we’ve previously purchased. Also the original Monkey Island used to be on iOS. I played it on my 3rd gen iPhone a decade ago. Why isn’t that still available!? I’m sure it’s a licensing issue, but seems majorly unfair. It’s the GOAT.

This game is very good and it lives up to the previous installments of the series , I had downloaded it a few years ago until it stopped working on newer phones. I then saw the re-release but was disappointed when the games has not been updated to be widescreen. I know Tell-Tale games probably doesn’t have time to give us a version that will take full advantage of newer hardware but if y’all do it would make this great game even better.
