There are also a few new shops, characters, and sites to visit on both Melee Island and Monkey Island. The new areas are a welcome addition to Return to Monkey Island, breathing some new life into a game heavily steeped in nostalgia. ![]() In addition to revisiting Melee Island and Monkey Island, Guybrush will be able to venture to new destinations, such as the frosty Brrr Muda and the dangerous Terror Island. Tons of reoccurring characters make an appearance in Return to Monkey Island, but not all of them are necessarily keen on helping Guybrush. Desperate to locate the secret of Monkey Island before his arch-nemesis, LeChuck, Threepwood seeks the help of some familiar faces such as his true love, Elaine, the ever-scheming salesman, Stan, and the Sword Master turned governor, Carla. He quickly finds that Melee Island has changed drastically, with new, younger pirate leaders running the show. He once again vows to make this his life’s mission, and ventures to Melee Island to search for clues about the secret, as well as a new crew and a ship. Years after out-witting the evil zombie pirate, LeChuck, Guybrush Threepwood finds himself feeling unsatisfied with never having discovered the secret of Monkey Island. It’s very reminiscent of The Princess Bride, but that’s never a bad thing. The rest of the game is presented through flashbacks, as Threepwood recounts his tales of how he found the secret of Monkey Island to his son. At first I was put off thinking that the entire game would be played through the lens of his son, but thankfully, that’s only for the introductory section. ![]() Picking up where Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge left off, Return to Monkey Island has you initially playing as the son of Guybrush Threepwood in the Big Whoop Amusement Park.
