“The Secret of Monkey Island – Special Edition” is a great overhaul of the original legendary point-and-click adventure riddle game. Actually, you can switch between the classic and new version seamlessly by the press of a button while you play. You will take control of the protagonist Guybrush Threepwood who embarks on an adventure to prove himself worthy of becoming a pirate. The story starts on Melee Island where he is given the task of completing 3 trials to earn his title. All pirates on the island refrain from going to sea though and you will learn about the mysterious reason soon. After about 7 hours play time in a normal approach, here’s my pros/cons list: Pros: ++ amazing overhaul of the old, classic game ++ voice acting very well done + great soundtrack remaster + lovely visuals remaster + great ambient noises + they added hints to support the player in solving riddles + funny conversations and situations + entertaining riddles + seamlessly switch between classic and remaster by pressing a button Cons: - Clumsy actions menu window which closes automatically after choosing an action - Same for the inventory menu, it closes as soon as I select something for interaction - Some graphic issues showing big pixels - Some riddles are trail & error - the part when learning about insults feels a bit stretched - despite being absolutely suitable for children, the riddles can be super tough though, even for grown-ups - some riddles towards the end of the game are far-fetched with few hints and hence hard to solve Conclusion: “The Secret of Monkey Island SE” is a great remaster of the legendary first game of the series, where you can either dive into its nostalgia again or discover the iconic story of Guybrush in a modern makeup. The game itself has a few flaws which are inherent to the original title, and also because of a strange solution to the inventory and actions menu behaviour. Otherwise highly recommended for anyone who likes a parody of a pirate story that comes in the package of a classic point-and-click adventure with lots of riddles. Rating: 6/10 points

There's so much about this game that I didn't really enjoy... In the end though, I was really glad to finally beat it after hearing so much about it and well... it is a classic. When it comes to adventure games I definitely prefer serious ones with whodunnits, or just generally more "epic" setups and The Secret of Monkey Island, while with it's fair share of adventure, is mostly a comedic one (might sound obvious, but I didn't know that when I started playing and initially this threw me off.) It was fun, and I might play it again eventually. When it comes to the special edition tho... I really dislike the new art, so I was constantly switching between the OG style and the new one, the problem is that the OG one has no voice acting and sometimes that can make the experience really jarring. Anyway, I'm glad to have experienced this classic, I can definitely see the appeal. I'm sure I'll not forget this one.

If you don't know this classic game yet, the sooner you fix that oversight, the better!

Glad to be able to play one of my favorite childhood games again! Really cool to be able to play with the voice acting and updated graphics as well as the old version.

Great fun classic adventure. The graphic upgrade looks great and you can easily transition back to classic view if you like.
