Comes 2 years late to Steam without basic steam features implemented. When asked about it they double down on their decision. Why even bother bringing it to Steam to begin with?

It's unbelievable to me that the developers have came back to this franchise and released a sequel 16 years later that was able to keep the spirit of the original. I didn't think it was possible. I'm so glad to be wrong.

This game surprised me from the time I began playing with its strong writing and great sense of humor right until the ending when I realized just how much this world and the characters had meant to me. I finished my first play through clocking in at 28 hours. This may seem short for some people who are use to grandiose RPGs but I feel that the game ended at the right time. I never once felt like it was bloated with content for the sake of content. Everything felt like it had a reason to be there and it was always worth my time.

I didn't want to do anything else after I had finished the campaign. I sat back and thought about the experience reflecting on the characters and my journey. This is easily the best game of 2019 but beyond that this is one of the best games I've ever played.

The best Monkey Island game. Great for everyone. I think I played this first when I was 8 but its good for all ages. It's running off ScummVM so no real enhancements to be seen in this release but its great to have digital.

I read the description and knew instantly that I couldn't live in a world anymore with this not in my Steam library. I knew I would love this and after playing for around ten minutes it is exactly what I wanted it to be.This game is pretty much a brilliant modernization of interactive fiction games of the past.Think Zork if it was multiple choice instead of parser (type words) interface. This creates a friendly modernization of the genre that is all too welcome.

The game itself is awesome. It is old school and self aware of its own absurdity. You work at the demonic law firm of Varkath Nebuchadnezzar Stone, you will try to stay ontop of your student debt, and even manage your love life!

If you're on the fence just check it out! It is a great adventure that is also reasonably priced. It reminded me today just how great the imagination is.
