- Reviewed on PC by Ryan McCaffrey. Also available on Nintendo Switch.
"After decades of believing that we’d never see Gilbert get to make his Monkey Island 3, I was in no way disappointed with Return’s conclusion. In fact, it moved me, and made clear that Gilbert cares as much about these characters as we fans do. I expected Return to Monkey Island to be funny. I expected it to have good and often-zany puzzles and hilarious puzzle solutions. You can see that in its writing, its acquired-taste art style, and its delightfully upbeat music. But I didn’t expect it to have such heart. Monkey Island has been known almost solely for its comedic prowess over the past three decades, but Return reminded me of why I first fell in love with Guybrush Threepwood in a way that will have me thinking about it for a long time. What longtime fans get out of it is definitely going to be markedly different from what newcomers take away from it, but I can say that Return to Monkey Island meant a lot to me before I ever clicked to start a New Game, and it meant far more after the end credits rolled." - Ігри

A lot of people will not understand how much we love Guybrush Threepwood.
He can hold his breath for ten minutes!
That twerp?
Yes!
How appropriate, you fight like a cow
How appropriate. You fight like a cow!
I'm glad this franchise continues to exist in today's gaming world 😊
@@SigmaLongshot Yeah, after seeing the video, damn, he really messed this up, my childhood is crying
OMG!
But only about once every decade or so, for a while now :-/
Hear, hear!
You had me at Return to Monke
:'D
based
What's up with the sound quality of the voice over recording though? Sounds like you're halfway out the room screaming at the microphone.
My only complaint is that there was no rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle
WHY ARE YOU YELLING?!
TO BE MORE LOUD !!
He's stranded in an island
@@MOT-vi1dton
Thanks Ron, with this game you made me remember the carefree hours of my adolescence 😁
This entire franchise is a MASTERPIECE.
Apart from the sequels that were absolutely _not_ masterpieces.
Can't wait to experience genuine emotion at various points!!!
Narrator: are you okay? You’re literally screaming
Lucasart should bring to switch all the series, including the Indiana jones one
0:45 "for the first time in 30 years"
Tell me I'm getting old without telling me I'm getting old
“This game require a system and hardware upgrade”
@@litjellyfish My body requires a system and hardware upgrade... >_
@@shmookins same here. A bit more ram also. Keeping forgetting everything
NICE REVIEW. THANKS FOR SHOUTING ALL THE TIME!
The reviewer is so excited about this game he's literally screaming this review.
My only problem with this art style.. are the dot eyes.. arghh! normal eyes would have made such a huge difference 😅
Can’t agree more it’s really off putting
Does this run well and at an acceptable resolution on Switch? I'm trying to decide which platform to get it for first.
you better enable hardware graphic acceleration by clicking on the option ~9001 times.
@@drorian dont think most new fans would get that joke to be honest, lol
@@caleasthetic yeah well, to me it's absurd to even have to think about how a graphic adventure runs on any platform anyway :P
It looks and feels great on Switch.
It's ok on Switch. Even better on Steam Deck though! :)
This is my second most anticipated game ever...
Reference acknowledged
What's 1st? Really.
First it better be Homeworld or System Shock
This is my second most favorite shop on the Citadel.
@joemobumtwizzler lol the original..
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood ?
A woodchuck would chuck no amount of wood since a woodchuck can't chuck wood.
@@Palidor But if a woodchuck could chuck some amount of wood, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck..?
@@MorrisseyMuse Even if a woodchuck could chuck wood and even if a woodchuck would chuck wood, should a woodchuck chuck wood?
Such a great game! Ron Gilbert really made a near perfect follow up. I'm genuinely impressed.
“I-LIKE-THIS-GAME!-CAN-YOU-HEAR-ME?”
-Ryan, at IGN
when is comming out for the other platforms?
Lots of point-and-click games in recent years. The competition within the gaming world has exploded; that's causing every type of game to have a lot of variety.
Let's bring back Simon the Sorcerer as well!!
What are some of the other ones?
@@TheAcer4666 there is a simon the sorcerer game being worked on of right now. you should look that one up, looks promising.
Broken Sword series definitely worth a mention!
Can you please list a few other than Thimbleweed Park? Thanks!
WHY IS HE YELLING!?!
This reviewer kinda sounds like he's shouting out of a window.
Hmmm in which way does it continue after the second? It starts to smartly bridge from the second but they there is a time jump and as the scrap book explains all games it seems to me that it continues after tales
Why does Ryan McCaffrey always sound likes shouting his reviews?
So excited to boot this up after work!
Murray was introduced in MI3, so how can he be in this one if its a prequel to 3?
return to multiverse island
Dzmn starting by comparing a LucasArts classic to a Spiderman movie.... ugh
How does this play macbook air ? New mack user. No accessories
you had me at Ron Gilbert
One of the best point and click adventure series returns!
THE best
@@MorrisseyMuse Either that or Maniac Mansion, though it needs a third!
Thus the best game ive ever played. Here to look at reviews even while game downloading
4 double ads? Mid videl... On a short review...? Shame on you IGN. Disgusting conduct.
That's how they make money, just buy youtube premium
Why do you need to shout to the mic 😳🥺
Wish it was 1991....
So he just spoiled a puzzle solution mid-review ? Noice
Review is full of spoilers. Don't watch it, play the game instead.
Actually this is the 6th installment to the franchise
return to monke island
Reject mankind...
3:43 - Interested to see how Murray is around and Elaine being Guybrush's wife already are handled if this game continues from LeChuck's Revenge.
I've read that, while the game continues from the second one, it does consider the events of the following games sort of canon, aka they did happen, but except from some nods and Murray they're not relevant to the story of this game
Is does not continue from the second really.
how does guybrush know who murray is if the game takes place before MI3?
Play and find out.
It does not. It is set after
How does this play on Nintendo Switch vs PC?
Please port to Xbox and PlayStation 🙏🏼
Nah
It really makes you FEEL like Spiderman
It's get little something for everyone
Makes you feel like monke
Do you have to play the previous installments to play this one or can you jump in
You don't have to, but most of the characters are from the previous games so you may miss the odd nostalgic joke. I'd say watch a recap vid on UA-cam and you should be fine :)
Basically Guybrush is hero pirate, Elaine is his girlfriend, LeChuck is evil ghost pirate and then secondary characters like Stan the former used ship salesman, Murray the talking skull and Wally the cartographer are the main ones.
There's a recap option in the main menu if you want an extremely abridged overview of all the previous games
these are the first games I've ever played on PC back in the 90's. how is this not on Xbox.
It will be tomorrow !
I'm getting it asap
Loved it, so glad it came back, hopefully another one comes out soon 🙏
Do you think it is playable with one hand?
Preloaded on my switch. Can’t wait for tomorrow
This would look slick on an OLED Switch indeed.
You can play it now, it's out right now
@@NathanaelRibeiro nice thanks for let me know.
@@kylerobinson6102 yeah agreed. So vibrant and colourful. Im like the art style.
Bought on my Steam Deck...
On my first playthrough now, im loving the vibe and story
The score is 9 if you want to know
9 is just a 7 + 2
Merci mon ami!
Can't believe this review started out with a comparison to another piece of recent media expecting me to have seen it
Why is Ryan shouting?
Did you record your audio review in the bathroom?
There was a tiny bit of reverb on the voice, but it was totally clear and understandable which is all that matters for something informational.
Can’t wait to play this
It's insane that this game is Switch and PC only.
Yeah why not PS5, damn it. Lol
@@SlayerSeraph lol ps5
and Mac on Steam.
@@markxv2267 eh... Well, yeah! Of course. Why not??
Temporary exclusive
Too many youtube adds in between destroys the review flow :(
Reject humanity return to monke
_"3.4 out of 10. Too many monkeys."_
*-IGN*
Yikes.... is there a mod which changes the art style?
Stop being a moron. The art style is perfect and fits the story to perfection. Looks gorgeous in motion. Thankfully this was made by people with taste and not by people like you.
The art style is pretty much integral to the narrative.
why is the reviewer screaming
The reviewer is so excited, he screams the review the whole time
Great Stuff, as always!
I'm stoked!
Why are you shouting..?
Lower your volume
@@SynthTerror must be a fellow yank like him that you can’t notice it 🤷♂️
why is the narrator yelling
your new queen guybrush threepwood ha ha ha
Just make these games more available. It's ridiculous what people are selling the original series for. Re-release them all.
Did Ryan record this in a bathroom or something?
Greetings, fellow chum
Greetings fellow chum. Have you a story to share?
This better come out on other systems asap!!!
they even joked about their artstyle
I'm digging everything about it so far except for Guybrush's face design!! They kinda dropped the ball on that one. Otherwise the art style has grown on me.
All the face designs are horrendous. They barely have any facial expressions.
The ending is also a huge let-down. Disappointed in the game.
Artwork looks dreadful
why include spoilers and puzzle solvers in the review that spoil the puzzle solving in the game?
Wait so I’m confused is it a sequel or remake
It's not a remake, it's a completely new story.
@@viktordoe1636 cool the videos look exactly the same as the original game just different graphics
Here because of Mostly Walking. Congrats Leigh
Looks very nostalgic.
Not with that artstyle it isn't
For sure it is. A lot.
@@SlayerSeraph of course it does.
The reviewer is unbearable.
Any way to make it run on win 7? 🙏🙄😭
My only issue so far, is the change of LeChucks voice actor, it isn't quite the same. Earl Boen retired
Could you speak a bit softer?
Masterclass. Puzzles are well designed - some are hard without being illogical or obtuse.
The reviewer’s screaming is so annoying!
Do you have to play to first games?
Yes
Nope
Looks like a must buy.
without this game,no pirates movies with johnny D
Release the original on smartphone
Caaalm down off hearsay yea. 😅 Btw nice review.
Loved the original games, and hopefully this will be a hit with the new generation, although I’m not really drawn to it!
you are missing out dude.
Ok now give me more grim fandango
What can you tell me about Grim Fandango?
@@SephiMasamune its better if you find out on your own, look it up but let me tell you its one of the best games of this kind, but rather short, a sequel or remake that expands a bit would be so awesome
Manny Calavera...legendary!
A rare qualified game journalist. Very nice
Why you shouting into your mic?
Nice review
Visual style is a miss for me
This reviewer sounds like he is doing voiceovers on a trailer
This speaker voice...geez.
dude, why are you screaming into my ears the whole time
You owe me a new pair of ears, jesus christ why is this man so loud?
Yeah he's shouting out *angrily* and extremely loudly - it's ear grating and off putting. So weird delivery. Also there's some echo in his room.
If you reach the side of your screen there should be some speakers, turn the volume down. If you have a newer computer you can do some right from your home screen. Hope that helps!
Wooh this one flew under my radar ,shut up and take my money !
