To understand why there are grown-ass adults filled with despair and angst after completing Return to Monkey Island, you need to know the timeline and the background of these games. In case you happen to be reading this and aren't familiar with the Monkey Island games, we should probably start from the beginning. Also, most of the screenshots were captured by other people. Like Ron Gilbert's previous game, 2017's Thimbleweed Park, Return to Monkey Island reminded me why I don't play video games much anymore-and maybe that's a good thing. I know I will be saying nothing that hasn't already been promulgated throughout the message boards and social networks of people who play games, or been the subject of a thousand YouTube monologues. In spite of all the admonitions of my reason (and though I've got something else I really ought to be finishing), I'm compelled to offer my paltry observations of Return to Monkey Island and its reception.
