In this reimagining of the popular game The Secret of Monkey Island, you'll take on the shoes of the naive yet hilarious hero who goes on a journey to find the fabled Monkey Island!

One of the best games of a genre I usually don't like very much.

Even though I am not a big fan of of point and click adventures, where you have to combine two unrelated things to get a third weird thing, I must say that this one is one of the best I ever played. Mostly because of the perfect writing and humor. Also the hint system is quite good, so i never got stuck for too long, even though I probably used it way too often insted of proper thinking.

A true classic in the p&c genre in a new coat of paint. If you don't like Guybrushes new hair you can get a mod that fixes his hairstyle to the original cover of the game. The new UI layout and keybinds are not very intuitive. Overall a must play for anyone.
