Return to Monkey Island | Gameplay Review (PS5) | Game of the Year 2022 | Game Award 2022
The Good:
* Unadulterated Monkey Island atmosphere
* Great voice acting
* New story with classic parts
The Bad:
* Without the Hintbook some puzzles are way too hard
* Limited number of save slots
* The art style is an acquired taste
Conclusion:
Still the new art direction will not be to everyone’s liking, and it remains one of the compromises made by the developers to ensure that Return to Monkey Island is relevant for 2022. And they managed to accomplish so much more, by developing a great game.
It works both as a fan service for the point & click aficionados and also as a modern-day adventure game for newcomers. It has some minor shortcomings, but overall, it is once more a shiny standard of how good adventures should play and feel.
