The protagonist feels depressed and unfulfilled, as he has so far failed to discover the secret of the titular Monkey Island.Īt the same time, his home, Melée Island, is changing for the worse. Its plot is set many years after the protagonist, Guybrush Threepwood (traditionally voiced by Dominic Armato), had a duel with the zombie pirate, LeChuck. The game continues the story begun in The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, skipping the plot of the series' installments released from 1997 to 2010. The founder of the latter, Ron Gilbert, is the father of the series, for whom this production marks a return to the brand after more than thirty years.

The title was developed in cooperation between three companies - Devolver Digital, Lucasfilm Games and Terrible Toybox.

Rather your memory is faulty for thinking otherwise.Return to Monkey Island is the sixth full-fledged installment of the Monkey Island series, whose roots date back to 1990. Guybrush (and you, by inference) are terrible people for playing the game, and nobody likes him or you, and they probably never liked him or you. I hear the later Acts are even worse, so I just quit at that point. Murray, who was a favorite character of mine, shows up but you can't do anything with him except brutalize him. One of the quests in Act 1 is resolved in a completely unnecessarily sad way, with guybrush basically demolishing a wildlife community and grinning in stupid satisfaction as the animals weep. There's a museum on melee where the proprietor says people who are interested in pirates are bad people, and guybrush is just like 'oh good point'. It's the whole atmosphere and the way everyone reacts to Guybrush. puzzles are extremely simple, but that's not what bothers me.

Instead the first act is just guybrush, who's apparently actually an immature, egocentric jerk, wandering around melee island and its run-down, abandoned shops, clicking on things and 'thinking back to better times'. I was expecting some lighthearted, fun monkey island adventures.
