I'm not sure whether I liked the game or hated it.
As an adventure game on its own, it's very well done, it's funny, it's entertaining, the puzzles are good, the UI and UX are fucking brilliant.
But as a Monkey Island game it feels hollow and less than its previous iterations. The world feels much less alive than even the first game, there are less characters, there are less people everywhere! the art style is hit or miss, it's well designed but feels like a huge step down from Curse of Monkey Island.
And the ending, oh boy the ending. I'm not going to spoil it, but the ending felt like a huge slap in the face. Oh, you wanted to know the secret of Monkey Island that the creator of the game has been hyping up? slap
I recommend playing The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2, and Curse of Monkey Island well before playing this one. Also I'd buy it on discount.
