The essence of Monkey Island lies in its trademark goofy panache and a genuine sense of humor, with which Return to Monkey Island radiates. Hijinks, which may involve the ingenious use of chicken and other fowl-related products, ensue. The Voodoo Lady makes several dramatic proclamations about the nature of Guybrush's ill-fated expedition, with him eventually scrapping up whatever resources he can for his voyage to Monkey Island. He drops by Melee Island, the favorite haunt of any self-professed Mighty Pirate and others in the Caribbean, and runs into a couple of old friends and less-than-friends there. Guybrush is heading to the eponymous island in search of its greatest secret, and he is again in need of a boat and crew. It feels like time has barely passed since then, with the premise of its swashbuckling tale faithfully crafted from a Monkey Island structure that feels refined to near perfection. There's still plenty of such fondness to reminisce about in Return to Monkey Island, a point-and-click adventure game that hasn't lost any of its luster and immense charm since creator Ron Gilbert's last Monkey Island game, which is close to 30 years old. But most of all, it's that one absurd puzzle you'll need to crack within the original Secret of Monkey Island: the sheer hilarity of transporting an ultra tart blend of a pirate beverage called grog across an island without melting its mug and incinerating your hands along the way. It's the earnest naivety of its pirate hero Guybrush Threepwood and the series' whimsical and self-referential humor. The thing about Monkey Island enthusiasts is that we can talk your ears off about what makes the series so unique. And you would be eating all these up, too, if you're a Monkey Island fan. Stanman and Cobb, with his "Ask me about Loom" badge, I was already shrouded in a haze of nostalgia. "I'm Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate!"īetween the moment Guybrush uttered this iconic line in Return to Monkey Island and our reintroduction to familiar characters like used ship salesman Stan S.
