Tales of Monkey Island Chapter One Demo Released, Game Officially Launches

Couldn't stop playing until I finished the chapter, I've been a fan of the series since the first game and I had a nagging feeling it was going to be horrible but I was very surprised. It seemed to recapture the feel of the older games for me, the puzzles were logical/fun/interesting - maybe a little too easy but it's the first game so that can be forgiven. The humour was so much better than I expected, from what I've read and seen from trailers I was expected this to be what let it down, but (for me) it turned out to be one of the most endearing factors of the game. Also the music/voice acting was great.

The controls were a bit strange for the first section but they actually work quite well after getting used to them, the only (minor) control-based issue I have is regarding how cumbersome it feels to interact with objects in the inventory if you're trying multiple things out, but it's possible there's a shortcut key I didn't notice which handles it easier (I noticed late in the game that middle mouse button opened inventory for example, not sure if there's individual mappings for choosing to look/set objects to combine etc.)

Really looking forward to the next one.
