Well, I liked it for being a well-made parody of 90s "edutainment" DOS games... not much so for the actual game and its community. It loses its charm immediately after you first play it and I fail to see its appeal, especially as another one of those "harmless-premise-secretly-survival-horror" type games.

Initially, I was going to skip this game. I though this was a telltale remake of MI1, but turns out, it is a brand new MI game, and a surprisingly good one at that.
First things first, the one thing I thoroughly enjoy about the MI games is the story. For most of the chapters, I felt it was an overall good flow with a lot of high highs, and doing the unthinkable for the series and put Guybrush Threepwood in a modicum of danger (especially in chapter 4) and actually affects him. That being said, I hated the ending of the game. It was too anti-climactic and the payoff wasn't worth the fifteen hour investment. Also, chapter 3 could just be filler. The things that happened in that chapter did not affect the overall plot too much, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
Unlike EfMI, this game introduces actual likeable new characters, primarily Winslow and Morgan. Very fun characters with ample screen time for the roles that they played. But I felt like it butchered a couple of already established characters. Elaine seems even more "princess-ey" now than in the previous game, and unlike the badass she used to be in MI1 and MI2. Stan got hit hard as well. His voice is even worse than in EfMI, and that game also had a worse voice actor for Stan. His role in this game isn't particularly interesting either, same with the previous game.
The gameplay portion of this game was fine. It's just extremely simplified from previous series, not even having the option to pull or push certain objects, as well as use them on yourself in your inventory, it is just a standard point-n-click. Disappointing, but redeems itself by having excellent no-bs puzzles. There's a few that are weird, such as the lamp puzzle in chapter 3 and the manatee puzzle, but other than those, with a bit of head scratching, you'll be able to come to a conclusion without it feeling too easy.
A few quick comments: I thought the controls were good, I don't think other people realize you can use WASD to move around while using the mouse on objects. UI sucks. Game crashed quite a few times. The atmosphere is lacking, and somehow this game visually looks worse than the previous title, which released in 2000 and looked terrible for its time.
Overall, good game! Don't skip out on this one if you're a MI fan.

Probably one of the best games i ever played, it is without a doubt a beautiful visual flare, and it's story telling puts games like The Walking Dead and The Last of Us to shame, it also has some of the most groundbreaking acting ever, as well as the most beautiful music ever composed. Everyone should experience this masterpiece.
