The Monkey Island games have earned their place in the video game hall of excellence, but it’s been over a decade since the last release. Can Return to Monkey Island also be a return to past glories? Well, it features two of the three writers from the first Monkey Island game, so that’s a good start. You’ll find witty jokes and course humour delightfully intermingling (sample: “Learn to catch rats for dinner. You can drown them in your mop bucket, they make their own sauce”). Unusual characters and entertaining dialogue lurk around every corner, which is just as well because you’ll be doing plenty of talking.
