cool expansion. lore and story wise it moves a little too fast for my taste and does some things with vega and ol' sam that feel a little strange I liked the simplicity of sam and vega in doom 2016, and the music isn't as memorable without mick gordon but it's still a great expansion and I had a lot of fun with it. super duper cool set pieces and some awesome areas

really cool visuals and ideas and stuff and I was enthralled for 3/4th of the game. It unfortunately falls apart for me near the end as it’s just confusing and vague and i already lost a lot of my investment after a certain scene involving a clocktower. And it’s a shame that the last few chapters just leave a bad taste and just kinda ruins what you felt about everything before. This game really could’ve used some more time to develop its idea’s and world and pacing.

From a gameplay standpoint it’s a huge improvement. The ambience is good, however it lacks the ominous and melancholy vibe of the game. I wish it had the same type of cryptic story going on that the first one did. The roller transformation is one of the only new powers and it’s not really that fun personally. I still think all of the changes are great and the game is super pretty and cool. I also wish there was more. It never got updated like the original :(

Outstanding. It was about everything I expected. People ragged on the art style a lot but I honestly really enjoyed it and I feel like it's definitely one of the best-looking monkey island games. I really enjoyed all the animations. curse of monkey island is still my favorite visually but this is definitely the second-best one. Great way to revive/conclude a franchise like this.

Pretty good. really fun mechanics, and a decent conclusion. I feel like it could’ve done without her mom being like margret worthing from the base game, it’s a good way of storytelling but it feels off since it was already done before. also why are the roads not rainbow like in the base game why why i literally cant stop thinking about it why is it like that?
