Initially developed in 1990 for many different platforms by LucasArts and re-released in 2009, The Secret of Monkey Island is a point and click adventure game.

On this “new” version, you can choose between the original graphics, with the original interface with verbs and inventory in the lower part of the screen, and the enhanced graphics version with voice acting and a more streamlined interface with the mouse icon showing what actions your character can take. It’s interesting to see the original graphics in comparison to the updated version and appreciate both in the same package.

In the game you control Guybrush Threepwood, a pirate on the making, arriving on Mêlée Island. As the game progresses, you explore the island, meeting new characters, and developing new skills to become a mighty pirate.

The game is divided into 4 segments where you start to unravel the mysteries surrounding Monkey Island. A main staple of this series is the heavy use of language-based puzzles, you will face several puzzles that are play on words.

As other LucasArts games, exploration is not only necessary as it is encouraged with references to other games like Sam and Max and Loom, no answer is wrong and there are no dead ends (except one) and if you find yourself stuck in some puzzle the game has a hint system where you are initially guided to the answer or, eventually, the answer is given to you.

One thing that is hardly discussed is how “easy” it is to play this game. Sure, some puzzles may take some effort to understand and complete but considering the base mechanic of pointing and clicking, and the (almost complete) lack of restrictive time sensitive puzzles, you can sit back and be immersed in this game.

This game is considered a classic for all the right reasons and can be an amazing introduction to adventure games. Recommending this game is easy and it’s worth a revisit.
