Tales of Monkey Island: Complete Season

Tank controls?

I've played this Telltale series 2 times before on my PS3 as a child and now, actually HAVING IT on MY OWN computer as an adult is just wild.
Good comedy, amazing characters, peak callbacks. I love how absurd everything is.

Each episode is about 3 hours long and every second is worth it.

Guybrush Threepwood has been one of my favorite characters since the age of like- 4, and replaying this game after years thrusted him back into 1st place beating out 8 different Ace Attorney characters and he's STILL THERE despite it being a few months since i played this now. AUGHHH I LOVE MONKEY ISLAND

If you like fun with Guybrush, Elaine, and LeChuck, you'll like this. I think I've played all the Monkey Island games and have enjoyed them all - Tales of Monkey Island no exception. Seems like I got this on sale, making it all the sweeter, but honestly, I stumbled across this in a purely fortuitous chance encounter... in other words, I was thrilled to see a new Monkey Island, and would've purchased it whether on sale or not. Now... as to the original games, you certainly don't need to play them (I recommend the remasters), before you play this, but the throwbacks and characters back stories definitely would make playing it more enjoyable. Besides, you can never get enough monkeys! Have fun!

fun

Fantastic set of episodes with some really great jokes. I had to resort to walkthroughs on a few puzzles, sometimes because I was just stuck, but other times because the interface didn't quite make it obvious what I could do to solve something (like the keys at the end of episode 5).

But a really great game for Monkey Island fans.

Tales of Monkey Island is really fun. This is VERY much a puzzle game. Not too fast-paced but not slow at all. My favorite thing about TOMI, is evenif you mess up and go the "wrong order", you can still go back and retrieve something you didn't before.

My hours here are how long it took me to finish this game.

Yep

Main character is a complete imbecile with really unfunny dialogue. I suppose it was probably a real knee-slapper of a time back in the early 2000s but today it's just the most cringe behavior. Also, the fact that you can choose dialogue options and then the character doesn't say them, or anything even close to the choice you made, it completely absurd. I'd refund this if I hadn't only spent a few dollars on it.

Not having played the most recent game yet, I think I'd rate this as the 2nd best in the series, after Curse. 3D graphic have improved since Escape and plot is probably the most meaningful of the series so far. The only issue is releasing each chapter as a separate game is stupid and they should have never done that.

Fun fun fun - and a bottle of ..... grog.
Incredible art style, sound fx and music.
This game is a 10 out of 10!
If you like adventure puzzle games, get it.

Im so stupid 😭

7/10 lots of fun, I wish for a remake xD

Escape from Flotsam Island. Fun return to the series, not the best but at £2 for all the episodes definitely worth the price. Funny characters, make sure to use all the chat options to get all the jokes from the game. Mouse movement controls are poor so I'd advise sticking to WASD for movement. Also a couple of random crashes on my playthrough so I'd suggest saving often so as not to lose progress.

(This review is for the complete season, episodes 1-5)

I've had this in my games library forever and for some reason never played it until now. I think I was originally turned off by the art style, in the trailer videos it looks quite horrible, not to mention the transition from 2D to 3D. But I finally gave it a try and I'm happy I did.

The art style grew on me and I was used to it a few hours into the first episode. They were doing the best with what they had, I suppose. The voice acting is great -- on par with other the Monkey Island games, retaining many of the same voice actors. The writing is also very good for the most part, especially considering it was not written by the same team, and the overall narrative is creative and worth playing through to the end. Special shout out to Winslow and Morgan, excellent character additions. Also good to see Stan again.

I'd say the gameplay will be somewhere around 18-20 hours for most people depending on how long it takes you to figure things out and how thoroughly you explore everything. The pacing of the episodes could have been better. I thought the first chapter was really solid, the second chapter was fairly disappointing, things pick up again in chapter three, chapter four is the longest and strongest episode, and then it finishes off with a pretty tedious and anti-climactic chapter five. For the most part the puzzles are fairly intuitive and not overly annoying, but a few of them are pretty tedious and un-intuitive. I had no problem referencing a guide to help move things along when something wasn't making sense.

This is definitely a must play if you have played and liked any of the previous Monkey Island games. If you haven't, you may still enjoy it as a standalone point and click adventure.

Just three words: Marquis de SINGE.

It's a point and click adventure game which had a brief uptick in the nineties and probably should have stayed there. The humor is pretty good, better than other humorous games. But the problem with these kinds of games is that the solution is always bizarrely illogical, like Grim Fandango, which means you have to repeat actions over and over, which kills comedy.

French people were not real before this game invented France

very good
