The Secret of Monkey Island

guip1408's The Secret of Monkey Island (PC) review

One of the pillars of the Point-and-Click Adventure genre

The game has one of the best humors I've ever seen in a video game, lots of good jokes with good dialogue between the characters. This is probably the older game that I can think of that made the writting caught my attention. I'm in the minority that likes the second one better, but this is a nice introduction to a pretty nice story. The reason it doesn't get a 5/5 from me is the slow start, specially with the fights to learn the trash talks, it was not a good pace for an first impression in my opinion. But overall, the characters in the game are pretty memorable and distinct what enhances the experience. For fans of point-and-click adventure games, this one is a classic.

LOOM, Day of the Tentacle, and their contemporaries have not seen modern reproductions, and their influence remains less represented than The Secret of Monkey Island, a game which receives most of the credit for the classic SCUMM-engine adventure games that came before Myst.It's pleasant to say, then, that the game is still also a treat to play.
