I love this game. Full disclosure: I first played it on the original colorful iMac, so itโs filled with nostalgia for me. I recently replayed it as an adult in my 30s, and I have to admitโthe control scheme is pretty rough, and the graphics are dated. That said, the visuals still have a unique artistic quality. If this game were ever remade, the texture work alone would make it shine.
The jokes are excellent, the plot is fun, and the music might be my favorite in the entire series. Many people say you can skip it, but aside from the second game remake, I think this is the best Monkey Island game. The controls just take a little time to get used to.
