Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge

Monkey Island 2 is comedic writing so strong it makes other adventure games look like they were written by a haunted thesaurus. It refines presentation and puzzle variety, packs jokes into everything, and avoids dead-end cruelty. Honesty time: a few puzzles can feel “moon logic,” but the writing makes wandering entertaining even when you’re stuck. Verdict: one of the funniest, cleverest adventure games ever made.
