If you’re an adventure game fan, it’s hard to walk away from Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition unimpressed for a si𝓀mple reason: with the press of a button, you can switch from the new art style to the old. This can be done at any point, be it during a conversation or in the middle of action. And, oh, how those memories flood back when you see it.
Earlier this afternoon LucasArts released a batch of comparison shots for Secret of Monkey Island SE so you can get a sense of what LucasArts improved visually. The images are available in the gallery ♓below.
It bears repeating: despite the new visual style (and the addition of the dog in SCUMM), no core changes have been made. Secret of Monkey Island: SE is Secret of Monkey Island — a point we’re completely happy with.
