You play as pirate Guybrush Threepwood, and must explore the Carribbean sea in search of the so-called secret of Monkey Island.
This relaunch of the classic LucasArts point-and-click adventure games is the first in more than 30 years to feature the involvement of series creator Ron Gilbert, and the throwback vibes are real...and fabulous. While the mechanics of the old games are largely unchanged—explore your environment, collecting and combining items, solving puzzles, and talking to NPCs—that's kind of the point, and the humor and clever design that were hallmarks of the original games are back in force, despite an updated 3D graphics engine. You play as pirate Guybrush Threepwood, and must explore the Carribbean sea in search of the so-called secret of Monkey Island. The music and voice acting are Disney-level, and the point-and-click mechanics work well with the Switch's controllers.
