About Escape from Monkey Island™

Spitting the sand of Monkey Island from my mouth, I wondered if the life of a mighty pirate was all it was cracked up to be. I'd ignored recent events that should have been warning shots across the bow of my soul, from my wife's brush with death to the anti-pirate ramblings of an Australian gazillionaire. If only I'd chosen a different path, LeChuck might still be dead and the Ultimate Insult might have remained a mystery. If I'd never picked up a sword, the grog-swilling pirates of the Tri-Island Area might be unthreatened by the forces of gentrification and demonic heckfire. If only... suddenly, the hairy finger of a familiar monkey tapped me on the shoulder. It was time. Time for the biggest battle of my swashbuckling life.

- Excerpted from "The Memoirs of Guybrush Threepwood: The Monkey Island Years"

Fourth in the legendary Monkey Island series of graphic adventures!

• An original, cinematic story full of drama, sociopathic parrots, and a villain with a sinister agenda!
• Dozens of lusciously rendered backgrounds!
Hundreds of puzzles to challenge both novice and veteran pirates... er, adventurers!
• New jokes! New puns! New insults! And more monkeys than the three previous Monkey games combined!

Not recommended Sep 14, 2026
The fullscreen mode from this game would not let me tab out of it or do anything else on my computer while it's open. Controls are terrible, they removed mouse support and it's clearly designed for consoles but controller support hardly works. After spending hours on configuring it, the experience of moving and interacting was taking me out of the game all the time. I'll stick to a gameplay for this one.
Recommended Aug 31, 2026
It has some fantastic humor, charm, and story - but also really needs to have a refresh for modern hardware. Puzzles can be quite challenging, even compared to other Monkey Island games. The earlier 3D games haven't aged as well as 2D art (Curse of Monkey Island aged better in this regard). Would love to see a remake similar to Grim Fandango; where even just the characters and models get updated, with improved controls, quality of life improvements (including hint system). Remember to save often, as can crash too!

It has its problems but overall still a great game, the puzzles are good for the most part but a few are frustrating. The story is well done and is more developed compared to the previous games although the cutscene graphics are rough.
Recommended Aug 26, 2026
It does have it's flaws, mostly towards the end, but it's still Monkey Island magic.
Recommended Aug 16, 2026
Like many, I considered EMI one of the weaker Monkey Island games, but replaying it now for the first time in a while, there's a lot about it I really enjoy and I wish I had replayed it sooner. Once you get past the early 3D style, what is left is still a great game with interesting puzzles. Monkey Kombat is definitely a little tedious, but I think busting out the traditional insult fighting would have felt worn out. There's nothing I can say about the game that hasn't already been said - but I wanted to comment on was compatibility in 2026. On Windows 11, it did work, but Steam Overlay did not, and therefore neither did the Steam Controller (at least - you couldn't configure the controls, nor did it work in Joystick mode). I also tried the Open Source EMI Launcher project to no avail. Fine for KBM mind you. What impressed me was that it worked flawlessly on Steam Deck and I quickly created an improved Steam Controller layout that made playing a delight.
Recommended Aug 5, 2026
This one is a mixed bag but still an enjoyable entry in the series, overall. The shift to 3D and new controls doesn’t always work, and it loses some of the charm and simplicity of earlier games. Still, the humor and characters are strong enough to make it a worthwhile experience.
