What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
This game is honestly a huge step down from Monkey Island 1, with plenty of baffling solutions to puzzles that make no sense, several plot threads that go nowhere, and a cliffhanger that goes absolutely nowhere and is completely ignored in Monkey Island 3, so overall it feels like nothing at all got resolved by the end of the game.
It had incredible graphics and atmosphere, clever puzzle design and very memorable characters.
The voice acting adds a lot of hilarity to the game, and I love the addition of the audio commentary since I'm a sucker for behind-the-scenes stuff.
I also like the new, much easier to use and quick interface.
But nevertheless it feels like the middle lacked the same care and attention, and many puzzle-chains lack a logical connection or a strong sense of progression toward a goal.
The ONLY way to fix this is to mod the EXE to uncap the framerate and cap it yourself with some other software, like MSI Afterburner or Steam Overlay on Steam Deck.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No recurring complaints surfaced in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
