Newcomers to all things Monkey Island might not have the same immediate connection to these virtual climes, but this is a series that’s always gone strong on a sense of place whatever the art style in play, and Return immediately puts the player where it wants them: in search of the island’s pirate leaders, and in turn off on one more great adventure. There have been some changes since we were last on Mêlée, a few new proprietors taking up residence in town and the requirement to keep a rubber chicken down the back of your breeches long forgotten, but the layout remains much the same and the nostalgic sights and soothing sounds of the place will be a delight for returning visitors.
The setting for this long-awaited comeback - the previous Monkey Island game, the Telltale-developed Tales of Monkey Island, released in 2009 - is naturally Deep in the Caribbean, the gently paced action commencing on the familiar cobbled streets and winding woodland paths of Mêlée Island before opening up to other over-yonder-horizon locations.
