It’s always fun revisiting childhood classics - will they live up to the nostalgia you hold for them? Will you realise they’re absolute turd?? Who knows?
In the case of Escape From Monkey Island, I remember vividly never being able to get past the start of chapter 2 and always replaying and never managing to do it.
Now having fully completed it - I can say whole-heartedly it wasn’t worth it. It is, unfortunately the worst Monkey Island game I’ve played so far - and this boils down to two key factors
1) the awful controls I spent most of my time battling
2) Monkey Kombat. Why do I need a spreadsheet just to be able to do the final segment of the game?? Who thought this was a good idea??
The rest of the game is ‘fine’ the puzzles are tricky but not so much in a fun way and the story is pretty forgettable.
It’s a shame, because I really did remember loving it.
