Review summary:
I am definitely impressed by Telltale's Monkey Island revival after about a decade. The game is fun, looks good, sounds good and offers a good price-to-fun ratio. If you were looking into getting this as a series fan or puzzle junkie, I completely recommend it. In fact, if a rabid shooter fan like me can grow fond of it, maybe fans of other genres can give it a swing too.
Cultured Vultures: We’ve taken into account every monkey, every eye patch and every undead pirate, so without further ado, here are the Monkey Island games across the franchise’s history ranked from worst to best.
The Humble Tales of Love & Adventure Game Bundle just launched today. It features Indivisible, Blacksad: Under the Skin, and Telltale Batman Shadows Edition, Tales of Monkey Island, and more. As usual, you pay what you want. A percentage goes to support charity.
HPP's I Coleman takes a good hard look at the Monkey Island series, and why the third, fourth, and fifth games in particular are so unfairly maligned.
