So the big news is the rolling pirate adventure that everyone’s been talking about. Return to Monkey Islandnow available on Xbox Series X|S, Windows, and Game Pass! .
1. The anchor is a lie
One of the characters in the game will tell you many random facts about the anchor. I want to assure you that these facts are not necessary for gameplay or story. you can forget them. Also, please remember that the “facts” are fiction. The person in question is not a deliberate liar, but she is a confident person who is not good at research. Please do not use Return to Monkey Island as a factual source for the Wikipedia article on anchors. It’s probably best not to use games as a source of facts.
2. Fish Don’t Lie
I don’t want you to lose at the barbet, so unlike Anchor’s fact, the fish sold at fishmongers are Return to Monkey Island All real fish that have been meticulously researched. Hagfish, toads, slimeheads, bloaters, and rumpsuckers are things that exist in the outside world, but I don’t think so. We may have taken some liberties with our ability to move and survive out of water.
3. Avocado soda is fictional and real, not our fault
The avocado soda was made for the game, but a quick internet search will reveal many real-world examples. We are not affiliated with any of these products, take no responsibility for their existence, and make no claims or warranties as to what may or may not happen if you consume them. plug.
4. There are no monkeys on Sarushima Island
Well, there’s a big stone monkey head. But that’s it. This is a game about pirates, not monkeys. If you really want monkeys, he recommends one of the many great zoo simulators on the market right now.
5. A kid named Guybrush is teased at school
After playing this game, you may want to name your next child after the mighty pirate Guybrush Threepwood. Of course, you’re free to do whatever you want, but remember that elementary school can be difficult for kids with unusual or suggestive names like Guybrush, LeChuck, Grossman, and John. You might consider changing your name or getting a nice tattoo?
6. It’s good to try new things
This is a game that arouses curiosity, not a game that punishes it. So don’t worry, go ahead and give it a try. Even if it seems useless and you can get arrested, injured or killed. It’s obvious, right? Getting people out of jail is usually a bad idea in real life.
7. The game has a writer’s cut
Return to Monkey Island has a writer’s cut mode that can be toggled on and off along with many other options. Writer’s Cut restores extra lines of dialogue that were cut from the game. Probably hundreds of lines. Bonus! But the game already contains a large number of words, enough for most people. I’m someone who has done a lot of both writing and cutting, and I can say that these extra words were removed for good reason. You can turn this option back off at any time.
8. Taste
You can always speedrun the game, but I wouldn’t recommend approaching your first playthrough that way. I wander around. Bring snacks and friends. Trust me on this one.
You are now ready to go. I go to play!
