But 30+ min of dialog for 5 min of running around is just silly for a “game”. Can’t get behind that. 🤷‍♀️ ### 5/5 — Threepwood! *2025-09-27, version 1.0.1* The artwork alone makes this a must play. The dialogue and attention to detail are amazing. I’ve not played a game so intently and had more fun in a long time! ### 5/5 — Einfach genial *2025-08-20* Einfach ein weiteres hervorragendes Spiel von Ron Gilbert und co. ### 4/5 — J’adore ! *2025-08-13* Très bon jeu captivant avec un style que j’adore. Il manque juste les voix françaises, mais ça ne me gêne pas. En revanche, la synchro iCloud des sauvegardes manque terriblement pour reprendre le jeu de l’iPad vers l’iPhone et inversement … ### 5/5 — Absolutely stunning and invokes that dope nostalgia vibe *2025-08-06* My introduction to the series and now I wanna go play all the classics. People like Ron and the team are living legends to create such imaginative and creative worlds. Feels so much more closer to the heart and a personalised experience that not many games today can offer. ### 5/5 — เกมดี *2025-08-05, version 1.0.1* ศัพท์กลาง ๆ บางอันง่ายบางอันยาก นั่งเล่นทั้งวัน 1 วันเต็ม ๆ เนื้อเรื่องยาวมากกกกกก จบแบบพีค ๆ 😅 ### 5/5 — Audio issue *2025-07-21, version 1.0.1* There’s no audio, i tried installing it twice and same thing. ### 3/5 — Great until the last chapter *2025-07-17, version 1.0.1* The final chapter simply can’t be played on a smartphone. The artwork is not clear and key clues barely visible. I had no choice but to read the hint book at that point and was frankly amazed when it told me what to look for. They simply weren’t visible and once I knew where they were, I had to take screen shots and magnify them. Major design error in my view. Oh… and developers… Game of Thrones had a more satisfying ending… seriously?!! 😡 ### 4/5 — Es ist gut *2025-07-12* Aber die Grafik gefällt mir nicht so. ### 5/5 — Nostalgia *2025-06-30, version 1.0.1* What a great “next episode” to the throw back games. I used to play them as a kid and now as an adult, get to relive the characters with a new and interesting story line. Thank you to the developers for this. The letter at the end is spot on how I feel as well. ### 4/5 — Çok güzel *2025-06-24, version 1.0.1* Çok tatlı bi oyun olmuş seslendirmeler de çok güzel. Türkçe gelirse daha güzel olur ### 5/5 — GENIALNA! *2025-06-09, version 1.0.1* Więcej, więcej, więcej! ### 5/5 — Best game ever!!!!! *2025-06-05, version 1.0.1* I love Monkey island!!! It’s such a fun game and I wish it never had to end! ### 3/5 — Freude und Enttäuschung *2025-05-19* Ich habe mich gefreut, ein Spiel aus meiner Jugend mal wieder zu finden. Die Anfang Sequenzen waren auch ganz lustig nur leider lässt sich das Spiel nicht mehr weiterspielen es sich fest fährt. Die Sprach-Sequenz beim Anker lässt sich nicht überspringen, weil die Gesten auf dem Touchscreen nicht funktionieren. ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-05-15, version 1.0.1* I like the fun game play. Lots of subtle stuff to remember. The animation is silly. Take your time, don’t rush through it, with the fun effort ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stupid ending *2026-08-12, version 1.0.1* I did all that work for nothing it’s a stupid ending and a stupid game and a complete waste of time ### 1/5 — A complete waste of time! *2025-12-18, version 1.0.1* Graphics is good, but that’s about all what’s good about it. Long non-skippable credits, long conversations (somewhat skippable, but you have to keep on swiping down with 2 fingers to skip one spoken sentence, totally annoying). As for the game itself, you have to keep on going to your bag to look at purple book for “clues” which are basically instructions for ongoing tasks. Even if you figured something out you can’t do anything unless you run around and fail first then do EXACTLY what the purple book tells you to advance. And stupid STUPID ending!! Just when you think you are finally getting somewhere and maybe you will learn the secret, the story just ends, making you feel like it was complete waste of hours of playing. I would give it zero stars if I could. Good thing I played through Apple Arcade and didn’t pay 10 bucks for this. Or else I would be really really MAD!!! ### 1/5 — Not close to what it used to be *2025-10-22, version 1.0.1* The story is rather boring the ending the same and the graphics are horrible ### 1/5 — OG Money Island playing and are getting to a reminisce? *2025-10-18, version 1.0.1* Don’t install it, leave your memories where they are! The DEI push has got to this as well. ### 1/5 — Cannot Play Outside Audio *2025-09-24, version 1.0.1* I have been trying to play this game for around 30 minutes. It looks fun. Good graphics, witty writing, etc. There’s just one problem: the game freezes if I dare play YouTube audio on the background. Put another way, the game cannot be played unless the player agrees to only listen to the app’s audio. This is intentional as other reviews have raised the same issue. To the Developer: I don’t care that you own Chuck from Audio a favor. I can read the subtitles perfectly well. This choice, and yes it is a choice, is disrespectful to the player. ### 1/5 — Game bugged *2024-12-20, version 1.0.1* I have the patch transformed and ready to get on le chucks ship. I can’t put it on anywhere on the docks. The game is bugged. ### 1/5 — 挺好的游戏 *2024-12-14, version 1.0.1* 就是制作者没🐴 ### 1/5 — No *2024-10-27, version 1.0.1* Five minute long cutscenes that can’t be skipped boring gameplay this is worthless ### 1/5 — Lost my save game *2024-09-24, version 1.0.1* Saved progress does not sync between devices so when I got a new iPhone I lost hours of play ### 1/5 — No entiendo lo que hace Apple *2024-08-28, version 1.0.1* Es que no tiene sentido. ¿Cómo es posible que un juego así no esté disponible en AppleTV? Cuidáis a vuestros usuarios poco y mal. Así es como se echa a perder servicios como Apple Arcade, que ya de por sí es flojo flojo. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun narrative game! *2026-08-26, version 1.0.1* Wish I had played this sooner, didn’t realize what I was missing. ### 5/5 — Fire *2026-06-20, version 1.0.1* I loved it from beginning to end ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-02-25* Really loved the game It was perfect. ### 5/5 — Worth every minute! *2026-02-04, version 1.0.1* With its fascinating characters, challenging puzzles, and a growing array of places to explore, the creators have crafted a game that’s truly enjoyable. I especially appreciate the note from the creators at the end; it gives the game a sense of depth beyond just entertainment. P.S. Apple Bob is the best! ### 5/5 — Продолжение великой серии квестов *2025-12-02* От первых звуков легендарной музыкальной темы в первом акте игры сразу бегут мурашки и появляются детские флэшбэки☺️ Великий геймдизайнер Рон Гилберт выдал шикарный классический point-and-click квест и добавил в него казуальных механик для упрощения, так что вам не придётся часами искать незаметный предмет на экране и вы можете просто насладиться пусть и сумасбродным но интересным сюжетом. Огромное спасибо за русский язык, а то я просто не смог бы насладиться игрой👍 ### 5/5 — Mükemmel *2025-12-02, version 1.0.1* Çok sevdiğin çok eski bir dostu görmek gibi <3 ### 5/5 — I love it! *2025-11-21, version 1.0.1* It really reminds my childhood. The only problem is that the game is too short. I hope there will be a new edition soon. ### 5/5 — Fenomenale *2025-11-20, version 1.0.1* Gioco fantastico, rievoca tanti ricordi dell’epoca d’oro delle AG Lucas, in più è ben fatto, sia a livello di storia che di graphic design. Promosso a pieni voti! ### 5/5 — For adventure fanatics *2025-11-13, version 1.0.1* Very fun, even while binging it took me days to complete! Beautiful artwork, highly recommend ### 5/5 — Less Grog But That's OK *2025-10-25, version 1.0.1* I've been a Monkey Island fan since receiving a free tee shirt for completing a short trial version of the game in . . . whenever that was. The SOMI itself has always held a place in my heart for its unique take on sword fighting, acidic grog and red herrings. Playing 'Return to Monkey Island' these . . . many . . . years later duplicated the joys of the original game while simultaneously challenging me with innovative puzzles to aid the characters on their journey. I look forward to seeing if Threepwood's newly-discovered yarn spinning abilities and insights into underworld humor will aid him in any future swashbuckling endeavors. The only drawback? Now I want to wear my Secret of Monkey Island tee and have absolutely no idea what's become of it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
