Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge is a point-and-click graphic adventure and the second entry in the Monkey Island series. Players guide the pirate Guybrush Threepwood through a comedic Caribbean setting, using a verb-based command interface and an inventory of items to explore locations, talk with characters, and solve puzzles. The game offers a choice of puzzle difficulty at the start, letting players pick a standard experience or a streamlined one.

Gorgeous, hilarious and audacious, with an ending people still argue about.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Stunning hand-painted art
- Huge, varied set of islands and puzzles
- First game with the iMUSE adaptive music system
Not so much
- Some puzzles are notoriously obscure
- Guybrush is a bit meaner this time
Play it if fans of the first game and anyone who loves big, funny adventures.
Skip it if players who get frustrated by abstract puzzle logic.

- Get to the map pieces one by one. Each island holds part of the final map.
- Talk to Wally the cartographer early. He helps with the map later.
