I love Telltale Games. I’ve been playing and adoring adventure games since I was old enough to point a mouse and begin navigating complex brain-teasers, but as I grew older and more bothered by the often nonsensical puzzles, the genre quickly faded into obscurity. Cue Telltale’s triumphant arrival on the scene to bring back my once-beloved genre. Even better, they’ve resurrected this stale game type by relying entirely on franchises that we already know and love. True, their attempts to bring Bone and CSI to the world of video games were kind of fumbled, but since then they’ve been on fire with consistent episodic releases for Sam & Max, Strong Bad, and Wallace & Gromit. I’ve enjoyed all of those to varying degrees, especially Sam & Max, so I was not remotely disappointed to hear that Telltale would be handling the revival of the much-loved Monkey Island series.
The result, unfortunately, has left me less satisfied than I’d hoped.
