“Kind of a mixed "recommend" here. Love the vibe and the humor as usual. Lots of the game is well done. However, unless you're a moon logic genius, you won't be getting through this without referring to a guide, using…”

“This second installment in the [b]Monkey Island[/b] series is bigger, longer and harder than the first one. Like the first part, this one is also very funny, it also has a lot of crazy, creative verbal, visual and…”

“It's not as cohesive as Monkey Island 1, but It's probably funnier and when it hits hard it hits harder. I also love the twist at the end. A must check out for poitn and click fans”
“It’s definitely better remastered than the first one, not without compromises, but still miles ahead. At least I can play it without my eyes bleeding. I really like some of the backgrounds, and the added voiced dialogue…”

— a player, Steam review · 8 hrs played“Outstanding. The nostalgia from replaying this faithfully updated special edition was wonderful, and the jokes still cracked a smile. But damn, its much more difficult in my 40s, my teenage brain was wired to solve the obscure puzzles in a way my old head is unable to do!”
