As Zoey wrote for us in the initial review,Return to Monkey Islandis a follow-up to the series that’s got a good amount of callbacks and references. ForMonkey Islandfans who haven’t got around to it yet though, the new platforms provide a chance to finally check it out. And hey, Game Pass makes it easy to see if this kind of adventure is your cup of tea.
