    The atmosphere that this chapter sets is just amazing. Sound, graphics and music all come together to form a really beautiful and haunting game.
    Though the puzzles are on the weaker side this time, the twists and turns that the story takes are all gripping and make you want to finish the chapter in one sitting. The returning character is definitely a highlight of this chapter, but    The atmosphere that this chapter sets is just amazing.

The returning character is definitely a highlight of this chapter, but everyone else also has a compelling arc — everyone gets their own important moments, which is impressive given how limited the game's time is.    … Expand

    It's true that the jokes aren't as funny this time around but the puzzles are challenging without being frustrating, which should help you see this one through to a satisfying conclusion.

    Episode four of the Tales of Monkey Island leaves me undecided: I like that there are more puzzles in the game, but overall this episode offers too much of a dejavu-feeling, resulting in a good, but not very good episode.

    The fourth and second to last chapter of Tales of Monkey Island puts all the pieces of the game in their place for the end of this first season. "The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood" is the largest episode thus far, and althought events are not as funny as in the past chapter, the level is, overall, remarkable, being delicious for demanding players. There are many things to improve, like the reuse of content, but TellTale has shown us, once more, that they're great making point'n'click adventures.
