TL;DR Return to Monkey Island is a solid return to form that preserves the series' charm and humor. While it delivers a fun, nostalgic adventure, it doesn't innovate much and feels a bit short, with a somewhat underwhelming ending. PROS - Classic Monkey Island humor and atmosphere are intact. - Nostalgic references from past games. - Engaging story with plenty of nods to the earlier games. - Well-designed puzzles that balance challenge and accessibility. - Option to choose between two difficulty modes. CONS - I don't like new visual style (subjective tho). - Shorter than expected with a finale that may leave some fans wanting more. - Game pauses when losing focus, which can be annoying. - Nothing new, same old good formula. - Heavily reliant on references to previous entries; newcomers might feel lost. Return to Monkey Island plays it safe and leans heavily on nostalgia, but for long-time fans, that's part of its charm. It doesn't push the series forward in big ways, but it brings back the humor, spirit, and clever puzzles that made the franchise iconic. Recommended primarily for fans who want to revisit old friends and memories but not be the best starting point for newcomers.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 31: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Return to Monkey Island es una aventura gráfica imprescindible para los amantes del género y, en especial, para los fans de Monkey Island. Muy disfrutable de principio a fin.
Fun game, big fan of the whole series, starting with the original playing as a little kid in the early 90s. Brings up a lot of nostalgia.
It has all the elements of the old glories in a modern key. A dive into the past in step with the times
