Tales of Monkey Island

13 hour of playtime, no achievements
★★★☆☆

Tales of Monkey Island is the last entry in the Monkey Island saga and probably also the worst one. It’s still a decent game though don’t get me wrong, they just were never able to capture the magic of those first two games again. I actually liked it better this time around than the first time I played it. The game plays very similar to their Sam & Max games, which were developed around the same time. I think what bothers me is the simplified interface where clicking on something does only one thing instead of being able to look, take, talk or interact with the object, which makes it easier in a way but it also makes it feel more simplified and dumb. Some of the puzzles are pretty well thought out, yet they might be a bit to obscure for some from time to time.

TL;DR Decent point and click adventure. Well thought out puzzles yet a bit to obscure at times for some maybe.
